1979-12-15 Queen Elizabeth Sports Center, Nassau, Bahamas

(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;

  • @tavorodriguez truth!

  • Background: 'Black nationalism'

    'He may be a real contender for this position should he

    abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine

    of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism'

    'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to

    pinpoint potential trouble-makers...'

    'And neutralise them'

  • Political strategy, Ambush in the night. See them fighting for POWER, but they know not the hour, Ambush in the night, and by Society, they are trying to conqure me, LOL!!.

  • Don't get ambushed in the night. Don't wait until you loose your job too. You are the 99%. #Occupy Wall Street now! #ows occupy together. This is your planet

  • Great song...however the "WITH SPEECH" in title is a bit misleading.

    I would not describe that as a speech. More like an opening chant, incantation, or something to that effect.

    He hails "Jah Rastafari" a few times, then gets into the song

  • Bob Marley and My Father died the same year when I was 4 years old. Wish they were both still here, but things are the way they are. We won't worry, we won't shed no tears, we've found a way to cast away to fears.

  • Bob was, is and will remain special to human kind, forever. though he died when i was 2 yrs old, his spirit lives around me forever!

  • Bob Marley...

    Sus melodías son puras verdaderos...

    pues son las enseñanzas de Su Majestad...

    Alabanza y Gracia al Mas Alto...

    Jah Rastafari !

  • @Minozx10r1 Bob is the best!!!!!

  • Bob was the best!!!!!!
