AFRICA: Bob Marley – Ambush In The Night

Ambush in the night”through political strategy, they keep us hungry, and when you’re gonna get some food, your brother gotta be your enemy [...] ambush in the night [...] planned [...] they’re trying to conquer me!”

No one says it as it is as the legend used to do. A Blast from the Past. Enjoy!

 

Ambush In The Night lyrics
(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
