Ant Man Bee Lyrics

White ants runnin’
Black ants crawlin’
Yella ants dreamin’
Brown ants longin’
All those people longin’ to be free
Uhuru ant man bee uhuru ant man bee
All the ants in God’s garden they can’t get along
War still runnin’ on
It’s that one lump uh sugar
That they won’t leave each other ‘lone
Why do yuh have t’ do this
You’ve got t’ let us free
Why do yuh have t’ do this
You’ve got t’ set us free
Why do yuh have t’ do this
You’ve got t’ set us free
Why do yuh have t’ do this
You’ve got t’ set us free
Uhuru ant man bee uhuru ant man bee
Now the bee takes his honey then he sets the flower free
But in God’s garden only
Man ‘n the ants
They won’t set each other be

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
