Ants in Jamaica
Not like ones here
They climb trees in yaad
Rip flesh and tear
Jamaican ants in the trees
A frightening thing
Some terrible ones have wings
Viscous bite, vicious sting
Ants scout the trees
Trees provide protein
Mother ants feed
Little ant babies
Jamaican ants don’t make no sound
They build nests called mounds
Pushing up soil, I see them around
Watch them tunnel into the ground
Slap them before they strike
Invade their space if you like
It’s where they all live together
Stings turns into itchy white blister
Jamaican ants are aggressive
Venomous insects sting
And skin cause painful, intense itching
They bite and latch on
They sting you seven or eight times
Pivoting their abdomen in circular lines
Jamaican ants
They make all the laws
With their steady strong jaws
Step on an ant site, deadly bite
Then you bawl!
Red ants try to swarm me
Attack me like an army
Red ants try to harm me
They bite me when they’re on me
Red ants try to swarm me
Attack me like an army
Red ants try to harm me
They bite me when they’re on me
Red ants try to swarm me
Attack me like an army
Red ants try to harm me
They bite me when they’re on me
Red ants try to swarm me
Attack me like an army
Red ants try to harm me
They bite me when they’re on me
Swelling, bumps, burning, itching
Scratching, bitching
An incision, I’m in pain
It’s so excruciating
Doctors keep me waiting
The ants were unforgiving
Working for a living
Venom injecting
Piercing, pivoting
Please, I need medical attention
Those welts they turned to blisters
I got systematic symptoms
You scream, you whisper
No one listens
Red ants try to swarm me
Attack me like an army
Red ants try to harm me
They bite me when they’re on me
Red ants try to swarm me
Attack me like an army
Red ants try to harm me
They bite me when they’re on me
Ants, my ankles, toes
Collar, neck
Ants on my private
Ants on me, they ravage
I can’t manage
Jamaican red ants so savage
Ants in my my shirt
Socks, shoes, pants
Stung by red ants
I do a little dance
You and them duel
Jamaican ants rule
Those ants were so cruel
I’m just ant food
Attack you like an army
Jamaican ants
Wanna harm me
So they try to swarm me
Red ants try to swarm me
Attack me like an army
Red ants try to harm me
They bite me when they’re on me
Red ants try to swarm me
Attack me like an army
Red ants try to harm me
They bite me when they’re on me
