D         Bm       G
(Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa), see them fighting
for power,
D         Bm       G
(Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa), but they know not
the hour.
D                   Bm                 G
(Ooh-wee), so they bribing with their guns,
spare-parts and money.
D             Bm         G
Trying to be-little our, integrity, now.

Em                    A
They say what we know, is just what they teach us.
Em                           D
And we're so ignorant, 'cos everytime they
can reach us.
           G               Em
Through political strategy, they keep us hungry.
G                                    A
When you gonna get some food, your brother
got to be your enemy.

Chorus:
Bm                   G         A
Ambush in the night; all guns aiming at me.
Bm                   G            A
Ambush in the night; they opened fire on me.
Bm                   G                 A
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 surfacing (shoobe, doo-wa)
Through the powers of the Most-High (shoobe, doo-wa)
We keep on surviving

Yeah, this ambush in the night
Planned by society
Ambush in the night
They trying to conquer me

Chorus:
Ambush in the night
Anything money can bring
Ambush in the night
Planned by society
Ambush in the night
