Afrobeat
[Verse 1] Maneno yangu yanachora picha za rangi Lugha ya babu, ya mama, ndio nguvu yangu Herufi zikipiga kelele kama ngoma ya kale Kiswahili kinacheza, roho inapaa juu [Pre-Chorus] Kila silabi ni wimbo Kila neno ni hadithi Toka pwani hadi milima Sauti moja, moyo mmoja [Chorus] Andika Kiswahili, ulimwengu usikie Maneno yetu ni dhahabu, usiyoyumba Andika Kiswahili, roho zetu zinaongea Lugha ya furaha, lugha ya upendo Andika, andika, andika Kiswahili [Verse 2] Mashairi yanatiririka kama mto Rufiji Methali za wazee zinabaki moyoni Sitaki lugha ya kigeni kuniambia nani mimi Kiswahili ni jiwe langu, chanzo cha utambulisho [Pre-Chorus] Kila silabi ni wimbo Kila neno ni hadithi Toka pwani hadi milima Sauti moja, moyo mmoja [Chorus] Andika Kiswahili, ulimwengu usikie Maneno yetu ni dhahabu, usiyoyumba Andika Kiswahili, roho zetu zinaongea Lugha ya furaha, lugha ya upendo Andika, andika, andika Kiswahili [Bridge] Wazazi walitupatia hazina hii Watoto wataendelea kucheza nayo Kutoka Zanzibar hadi Nairobi Dar es Salaam hadi Kampala Tunaandika historia yetu kwa mikono yetu [Chorus] Andika Kiswahili, ulimwengu usikie Maneno yetu ni dhahabu, usiyoyumba Andika Kiswahili, roho zetu zinaongea Lugha ya furaha, lugha ya upendo Andika, andika, andika Kiswahili [Outro] Kalamu yangu ni bunduki Wino ni damu ya utamaduni Andika, andika, andika Kiswahili kinaishi milele
