Yeah, listen up, East Africa stand tall
From the streets to the hustle, we rise
Bongo beat, Kenyan soul, let’s go!
The sun rises high over the city skyline
People on the move, trying to make the ends align
Walking through the dust, looking for a better way
But the spirit of the fighter is burning every day
We’ve got the hunger in our eyes, the fire in our chest
Put the struggle in the past, we’re heading for the best
Daladala ride, heart beating to the rhythm loud
We are the dreamers, we are the pride of the crowd!
Oh Kenya, my beloved, rise up and shine tonight
We’re turning the struggle into a brand new light
Hand in hand, we hustle, we don't ever slow down
We’re taking the crown, yeah we’re taking the town
Kenya, stand strong, the future is looking bright
We’re burning the shadows, everything’s gonna be alright
I see the mama selling veggies, working till the dusk
I see the brother on the corner, chasing every task
No weapon formed against us is gonna hold us back
We’re breaking all the barriers, moving on the track
From Nairobi to the coast, let the message travel far
We are the children of the sun, we’re shooting like a star
Even in the pressure, we keep the music playing
This is the anthem for the hope that we’re praying!
Oh Kenya, my beloved, rise up and shine tonight
We’re turning the struggle into a brand new light
Hand in hand, we hustle, we don't ever slow down
We’re taking the crown, yeah we’re taking the town
Kenya, stand strong, the future is looking bright
We’re burning the shadows, everything’s gonna be alright
No more tears, no more fear, let the joy flow
Watch the talent in the youth, just watch it grow
We need the unity, the power in the love we share
Can you feel the energy floating in the air?
Bongo flow, Kenyan glow, let it show!
So hold your head high, don't let the spirit break
Every single step is a move that we make
For the children, for the future, for the pride we keep
We’re planting the seeds that we’re gonna surely reap
No looking back now, the finish line is near
We are the legends, let the world finally hear!
Oh Kenya, my beloved, rise up and shine tonight
We’re turning the struggle into a brand new light
Hand in hand, we hustle, we don't ever slow down
We’re taking the crown, yeah we’re taking the town
Kenya, stand strong, the future is looking bright
We’re burning the shadows, everything’s gonna be alright
Yeah, it’s our time, Kenya!
We keep moving, we keep grinding
Bongo to Nairobi, one love
It’s a new day, stay blessed!
Twende!
