Ni Kadawo

JOHN SAKALA
male vocals
earthy
Clap
Afro-fusion with midtempo hand drums and a bouncy syncopated groove; verse stays lean with kick
and warm bass under close-mic male vocals
pre-chorus lifts with stacked call-and-response and rising shaker patterns
chorus opens wider with bright guitar skanks
group doubles on the anchor phrase
and a brief bridge drops to voice and percussion before the final lift. Ear candy: reversed swell into the chorus
small bell hits between lines
and a short percussion break under the last hook. Mix is punchy
and emotional with a clean glossy top end.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
vamene nimachita bani onelamo ba masala
ba nikambapo at kamwana kazakafa kavutika
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
JOHN SAKALA, I have to do what I do
nimakala nama pressure nayine ndine mutu osani onelamo
nifuna ni kachiteko vitu ye
I have big dream
[Pre-Chorus]
yotandiza ose Ali mupawi
but agogo told yembekeza
osati kutha mtima
osati kusiya njira
[Chorus]
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
JOHN SAKALA, ndipita mtsogolo
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
yembekeza, nthawi ikudza
[Verse 2]
ndimaona misozi pa pansi pa nsapato
koma ndimeka mutu, ndipitiriza kuyenda
anthu ena amanena sindingakwanitse
koma mtima wanga ukuti ndipange kusintha
ndifuna kumanga njira ya ana anga
ndifuna kusiya chiyembekezo m’manja mwao
ngati lero ndi nkhondo ya m'thupi
mawa likhala tsiku la chigonjetso
[Pre-Chorus]
agogo told yembekeza
zili ndi ntawi zonse
ndikamva mphepo ya mantha
ndimaimba molimba
[Chorus]
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
JOHN SAKALA, ndipita mtsogolo
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
yembekeza, nthawi ikudza
[Bridge]
ngati njira yaitali
ndipita nayo
ngati mtima wanga wotopa
ndiulungamire
agogo anati, yembekeza
ndi mawa ake
[Final Chorus]
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
ni kadawo sikazakachitikapo ye
