Bamburi /ˌbæmˈbɜːriː/ is a commercial, industrial and local electoral, administrative and a popular tourist and residential area on the Kenyan north-coast which extends from the coastline on the Indian ocean to the surrounding middle and low-income settlements on the mainland. Administratively, Bamburi is in the Kisauni sub-county of Mombasa and has some of the best tourist and beach-front facilities in the world which include popular international and local hotels and parks such as Serena International Beach Hotel, Sai Rock Hotel, Kahamas Hotel, Haller Park and Butterfly Pavilion.
In 1971, Rene Haller transformed parts of the cement- and quarry-complex into a Haller Park nature reserve. The 11 km2 area holds a variety of native game, and (prior to 2007) the highly covered attraction of Owen and Mzee - the friendship of a hippopotamus and a tortoise.
Bamburi is reached by bus or matatu from Mombasa island en route to Mtwapa or Malindi. Terminal matatus serve the Bamburi Cement complex
I’m on my way to the top
Screaming catch me if you can but I cant be stopped
I’m just tryna be the cream of the crop
But right now I’m the cream of the not so hot
It takes time but I’m holding the clock
All I need is one chance and that’s all that I’ve got
Read the script but I’m changing the plot
Changed the game you could say that I’m changing a lot
So I’m turning heads got to make a name
Got to point to prove got to make a change
New chapter in life so I’m turning the page
Wont stop till the whole world remembers my name
And I’m here to stay and I can’t be stopped
And I’m on the ladder but it’s a long drop
People pray for my downfall, pray that I flop
Get lost cause I’m working my way to the top
Cause I’m on my way, to the top
And nothing can stop me baby
Move out of my way, this is my time
And nothing can stop me baby
Cause I’m on my way, to the top
And nothing can stop me baby
Move out of my way, this is my time
There aint no stopping me baby
Road ahead is long and seems winding
I’m on my way and what perfect timing
There’s no escaping the fame no hiding
I’m just taking my time, biding
Music’s simply a mountain I’m climbing
Got youth on my side no fountain provided
So when I stepped on the scene explosion
Or earthquake like tectonic plates were colliding
I’ll make you all stand up and take notice
Always improving maintaining my focus
Been at the bottom of the barrel for while
But I’ve got to start somewhere its part of the process
Oh yes, set destination
TV, onstage radio stations
I’m representing the nation
Its bomber and music is my occupation
Cause I’m on my way, to the top
And nothing can stop me baby
Move out of my way, this is my time
And nothing can stop me baby
Cause I’m on my way, to the top
And nothing can stop me baby
Move out of my way, this is my time
There aint no stopping me baby
There’s only fame on my mind
But I’m just taking my time
I put my heart in the music
Title I’m making it mine
There’s only fame on my mind
But I’m just taking my time
I put my heart in the music
Title I’m making it mine
Cause I’m on my way, to the top
And nothing can stop me baby
Move out of my way, this is my time
And nothing can stop me baby
Cause I’m on my way, to the top
And nothing can stop me baby
Move out of my way, this is my time
