about

'River Nile’ was a revelation, a turning point which led me to understand who I truly am. I had been so weak, fighting a battle that was never mine. This song came about after I learnt how to strategically use the power within. I journeyed with this song to find a place of rest. I reached a level where I no longer had to work. Instead, I used the forces around me to gain altitude. The moment I found it, it was game over for everyone else.” - Elsy Wameyo

lyrics

Last time I wrote was a medical piece
But now my heart’s at ease
Been in a fight to defend my peace
Struggled to find a relief
All that pain still sit skin deep
Been vexed for a couple of weeks
Man stress done stacked up heaps
But we press down by all means

All the begging and pleading uh oh please
It is the beginning of a Nilot G
River Nile running and we’re moving in three’s
To the far east on a border line
Been far less tears but I still cry
I been on the edge but I’ll get mine
Build up the empire
I’m setting out to define
Build up the new kind
Should’ve invested the first time

Should’ve invested the first time
Should’ve invested the first time
(River Nile, River Nile)

River Nile with a flow that can never run out of course
Move with a unknown source
Kama kawa minakuja na force
Nataka tu round of applause
Haunioni ebu acha kudoze
Hii ni statement stay on your toes
Nakuja ku pave mentally aid
Myself and the ones wanakuwanga na do

Been time they won’t let to be free
Dabbed up with that pain to go deep
On a borderline rage and no I don’t
Already they were giving me the antidote
How you feel to be messing with the federal?
Last time I wrote for a medical
Worst place I was in by far
But you bet I’m gonna get it all I get it all I get it when I’m getting

All the begging and pleading uh oh please
It is the beginning of a Nilot G
River Nile running and we’re moving in three’s
To the far east on a border line
Been far less tears but I still cry
I been on the edge but I’ll get mine
Build up the empire
I’m setting out to define
Build up the new kind
Should’ve invested the first time

Should’ve invested the first time
Should’ve invested the first time
(River Nile, River Nile)

It’s been months and I been running away from freedom
Where the hell could it have been
Where has it been I been a victim
And I could have been locked up forty years now
I’m running away
Flow nice like the River Nile never running out
Making it with or without
Living it clear like a diamond ring
Royalty never less than
No you cannot relate
No it is not your place
Nadhani ni lazima niongee nalugha ingine waanisikiize

But they won’t live to be free
Dabbed up with that pain that go deep
On a borderline rage and no I don’t
Already they were giving me the antidote
How you feel to be messing with the federal?
Last time I wrote for a medical
Worst place I was in by far
But you bet I’m gonna get it all I get it all I get it when I’m getting

All the begging and pleading uh oh please
It is the beginning of a Nilot G
River Nile running and we’re moving in three’s
To the far east on a border line
Been far less tears but I still cry
I been on the edge but I’ll get mine
Build up the empire
I’m setting out to define
Build up the new kind
Should’ve invested the first time

Should’ve invested the first time
Should’ve invested the first time
(River Nile, River Nile)
