 Trying to be-little our, integrity, now.

Verse 1:

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

Chorus 1:

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.

 Well, what we know, is not what they tell us.
Em                              D
 We're not ignorant, I mean it, and they just could not touch us.
            G                    Em
Through the powers of the Most-I, we keep on surfacing.

Through the powers of the Most-I, we keep on surviving.

Bm                   G              A
 Ambush in the night; planned by so-ciety,

 Ambush in the night; anything money can bring,
Bm                   G              A
 Ambush in the night; planned by so-ciety.
