(by Bob Marley) (Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!) See them fighting for power (ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!), But they know not the hour (ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!),; So they bribing with their guns, spare-parts and money, Trying to belittle our Integrity now. They say what we know Is just what they teach us; And we're so ignorant 'Cause every time they can reach us (shoobe, doo-wa) Through political strategy (shoo-be, doo-wa); They keep us hungry (shoobe, doo-wa), And when you gonna get some food (shoobe, doo-wa), Your brother got to be your enemy, we-e-ell! Ambush in the night, All guns aiming at me; Ambush in the night, They opened fire on me now. Ambush in the night, Protected by His Majesty. Ooh-wee, ooh-wee. Ooh-wa-ooh! (Ooh-wee) Ooh-wee, ooh-wee (ooh-wa), Ooh-wa! Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh wa-ooh! Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh wa-ah! Well, what we know Is not what they tell us; We're not ignorant, I mean it, And they just cannot touch us; Through the powers of the Most-I (shoobe, doo-wa), We keep on surfacin' (shoobe, doo-wa); Thru the powers of the Most-I (shoobe, doo-wa), We keep on survivin'. Yeah, this ambush in the night Planned by society; Ambush in the night; They tryin' to conquer me; Ambush in the night Anyt'ing money can bring; Ambush in the night Planned by society; Ambush in the night --- fadeout ---
