D Bm G  A 
(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, 
D Bm  G
Trying to belittle our integrity now. 
 
Em A Em D 
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) 
 
G A Em A7  
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! 
 
(Bm Bm G A) 
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. 
 
(D Bm G A) 
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! 
 
Em A Em D 
Well, what we know 
Is not what they tell us; 
We're not ignorant, I mean it, 
And they just cannot touch us; 
 
G A Em A7 
Through the powers of the Most-High (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 
 
Paz... Jah Bless!!!
