(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
|
