(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-High, (shoobe, doo-wa)
We keep on surfacin'; (shoobe, doo-wa)
Thru the powers of the Most-High, (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..
