The Nile

lyrics

I’m in the Nile

I drink from the same water I piss and bathe in
Water’s up to here, push it down, push it down
I’ll build taller, not think smaller
Waters up to here, push them down, push them down
Air has a foul stench, pump it full of chemicals
Smog so thick, I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
Artificial sweet scent, false sense of security
Knees pressing down, he can’t breathe, he can’t breathe

I’m in the Nile
Waters rising high, and I can’t be bothered
Smile
Rotten to the core, I’ll still show my pearly whites
Nile
Waters rising high, and I can’t be bothered
Smile
Rotten to the core, I’ll still show my pearly whites

I’m the smartest, and I write my own rules
Time is money, and I won’t suffer fools
Make the strongest arms, keep myself in demand
By concocting foes who fight with guns by my own hand
I’m not good, I am great, validate, perpetuate
You need me because I say, see my tanks they’ll roll today
If you dare to contradict me, I’ll smash your face
Overflowing good will, I hope you have a nice day

I’m in the Nile
Waters rising high, and I can’t be bothered
Smile
Rotten to the core, I’ll still show my pearly whites
Nile
Waters rising high, and I can’t be bothered
Smile
Rotten to the core, I’ll still show my pearly whites

I say I’m not an animal
But in the zoo I’m the biggest hippo with the smallest campus
I’ll smear you just for fun
But if you call me out, I’ll draw a gun
I say I’m not an animal
But in the zoo I’m the biggest hippo with the smallest campus
I’ll smear you just for fun
But if you call me out, I’ll draw a gun

Nile
Waters rising high, and I can’t be bothered
Smile
Rotten to the core, I’ll still show my pearly whites
Nile
Waters rising high, and I can’t be bothered
Smile
Rotten to the core, I’ll still show my pearly whites
Nile
Waters rising high, and I can’t be bothered
Smile
Rotten to the core, I’ll still show my pearly whites
Nile
Waters rising high, and I can’t be bothered
Smile
Rotten to the core, I’ll still show my pearly whites
