Johnny on the beat

Intro
Yeah yeah
From nothing to something
Iwe, listen

Chorus
Johnny on the beat, now he shining bright
From the streets to the stage, now he feel alright
Talefwaya kuleka, he keep on pushing
Every single day, he steady moving

Johnny on the beat, hear the sound go loud
From the ghetto to the top, now he make them proud
Balemumona now, they calling his name
From zero to the top, he changing the game

Verse 1
Ku komboni uko alekula
No money, life yalipena sana
But music mu mtima wakwe
Everyday alelota future yakwe

He dey tap rhythm pa table top
Every little sound, he no go stop
Banabo baleti “you go fail”
But he believe say he go prevail

Pre-Chorus
Nangu inshita shali tough
He never ever gave it up
Now the sound dey make dem move
Johnny got something to prove

Chorus
Johnny on the beat, now he shining bright
From the streets to the stage, now he feel alright
Talefwaya kuleka, he keep on pushing
Every single day, he steady moving

Johnny on the beat, hear the sound go loud
From the ghetto to the top, now he make them proud
Balemumona now, they calling his name
From zero to the top, he changing the game

Verse 2
Nomba ma show yakwe yali full
People dancing, breaking the rules
From small boy with a big dream
Now he living life wey he never seen

Ama lights pa stage, abantu shout
Everywhere he go, they call him out
Balelanda “Johnny, you too much”
Now his music got the magic touch

Bridge
Play that sound, don’t slow it down
Let the rhythm take the whole town
From Lusaka to overseas
Johnny bring them to their knees

Final Chorus / Outro
Johnny on the beat, now he shining bright
From the streets to the stage, now he feel alright
Talefwaya kuleka, he keep on pushing
Every single day, he steady moving

From the ghetto to the top, now he make them proud
Balemumona now, they calling his name
Johnny on the beat, he win the game

Yeah
Johnny on the beat
From nothing to something
He made it
