Intro
(Ayy, yeah) March in line, tiny giants on the grind, Whole squad deep, million soldiers in my mind.
Verse 1
Creep through the cracks, but we stronger than steel, One ant can’t do it, but a million will. Building kingdoms underground like architects, Tunnel miles long, yo, show some respect. (Fact 1) Ants been here from the dino age, Over 100 million years, still run the stage. Organized hustle, pheromone maps, Leave a chemical trail, never fall for a trap.
Pre-chorus
Smallest in size, but the biggest in game, If the Earth lost ants, it would never be the same.
Chorus
ANTHEM, ANTHEM, bow to the colony, Tiny but mighty, yeah, we run ecology. ANTHEM, ANTHEM, all in harmony, Ants rule the planet, better learn biology.
Verse 2
Queens keep reignin’, soldiers on deck, Every role locked in, yo, that’s respect. (Fact 2) They farm aphids like cows for the sugar, Milkin’ lil’ bugs—nature’s first plugga. (Fact 3) Army ants form bridges with their own bodies, Yo, teamwork so wild, it look godly. (Fact 4) They lift 50 times what they weigh on back, If ants hit the gym, Earth would crack. (Fact 5) Some can swim, even raft in a flood, Link up like boats, ride the waves through the mud.
Pre-chorus
Underground cities, sky can’t see, But beneath your feet’s another galaxy.
Chorus
ANTHEM, ANTHEM, bow to the colony, Tiny but mighty, yeah, we run ecology. ANTHEM, ANTHEM, all in harmony, Ants rule the planet, better learn biology.
Bridge
Line ‘em up, watch the army march in time, Infinite hustle, infinite grind. No king, no crown, just collective mind, Lessons from ants—leave the ego behind.
Chorus
ANTHEM, ANTHEM, clap for the colony, Without these ants, no world economy. ANTHEM, ANTHEM, nature’s strategy, Ant power rising through infinity.
Outro
(Ayy) Small but immortal, always in motion, Ant life’s the code, Earth’s devotion.
Inside the recording
March in line, tiny giants on the grind, Whole squad deep, million soldiers in my mind.
Smallest in size, but the biggest in game, If the Earth lost ants, it would never be the same.
Ant life’s the code, Earth’s devotion. ---
