Ambush
Israel Vibration Lyrics

Give my best. I receive your less.
I try my hardest, but you don't reciprocate with the same effort.

Go away you racist. I put you through the test.
I reject your discriminatory actions and will challenge you to prove yourself.

Your dirty game won't bring this light to shame.
Your unethical behavior won't tarnish my positive spirit.

I'm just a buffalo soldier. Survival is my game.
I am a resilient fighter, like a buffalo soldier, and survival is my top priority.

Your racist mentality keep I down in poverty.
Your discriminatory mindset is the reason why I am living in poverty.

You ambush in the night. Giving I a fight.
You attack me unexpectedly, causing me to defend myself.

But Jah keep on surfacing. Jah keep I surviving.
But despite your attacks, Jah keeps me afloat and I am able to endure.

Iya work so hard. You draw bad card.
I work tirelessly, but you continue to deal me a bad hand.

Gimme that green money. You can take the award.
Give me the money I am owed, and you can have the glory.

Lord we build the cabin. We plant the corn.
We worked hard to build our home and cultivate our land.

Now you back-stabbing me. Look me with your scorn.
Now you betray me and look upon me with disdain.

Naw look no sympathy. When I work pay I nuff money.
I don't receive any sympathy, even when I work hard and earn good money.

My tear drops is your sorrow, And you midnight terror.
My tears represent your pain and fear that haunt you at night.

Like a thief in the night, Jah judgement swift and right.
Just like how a thief strikes suddenly, Jah's judgment will come quickly and justly.

Keep I in the corner cause of my black skin tone.
You marginalize me because of my skin color, keeping me in a corner.

But the stone that builder refuse, Shall be the head corner stone.
The very thing that you reject could end up being the most important thing.

They say smite the shepherd and scatter the sheep.
They say to attack the leader in order to disperse the followers.

Foolish talk bark at flying bird. your fancy talk is cheap.
Your nonsensical talk is like barking at a bird in flight, meaningless and unimportant.

Your racist mentality, make me feel fe get violently.
Your discriminatory mindset makes me feel like getting violent.

You ambush in the night. Giving I a fight.
You attack me when I am vulnerable, causing me to struggle.

They say a hungry man is a angry man.
They say that a person who is hungry is more likely to be angry or upset.

Slave driver, say the table is turn.
Addressing a slave driver, saying that the roles have reversed.

We are the survivors, you gonna get burn.
We are the ones who persist and endure, and you will eventually suffer the consequences of your actions.

Another bad card, making my life so hard.
Receiving yet another unfavorable circumstance that makes my life difficult.

Go away with you other bad card. Jah a the woner
Take your other misfortunes with you and remember that Jah is in control.
