[Verse 1 – 0:51–1:20]
Nilipokuwa chini, alininyanyua juu
Nilipolia milimili, alinipatia nuru
Nikaona rehema, nikaona upendo wazi
Sasa niko mbele, natetemeka kwa furaha hizi
Wengine waliniona nikiwa wavivu, walisema nimechanganyiwa
Lakini zaburi zinasema, neema imefafanuliwa
Nacheza si kwa show, nacheza kwa shukrani
Kinanda kinapiga, moyo wangu unaimba Zaburi nane
Backup: Soft “ahh” on last word of each couplet
Instruments: Kick + snare tight, hi-hat syncopation, chord stabs
[Pre-Chorus – 1:21–1:40]

Tunamshukuru Mungu wetu, tunaadila
Na kama Daudi, bila aibu
Tunaumbua, tunacheza kwa rehema tupu
Backup: “Yeah, yeah!” echo after each line
Instrument: Snare rolls lift into chorus
[Chorus – 1:41–2:10]
Cheza kama Daudi (eeh!)
Usiogope watu wakuone (yah!)
Cheza kama Daudi (eeh!)
Umeshinda vita, toa sifa kwa Bwana!
Cheza kama Daudi (eeh!)
Piga makofi, pandisha sauti (fire!)
Cheza kama Daudi (eeh!)
Kwa pumzi ya Zaburi, sifu Mwaminifu!
Add slight brass stabs to accentuate “fire!” — layered harmonies on last repeat
[Verse 2 – 2:11–2:40]
Sauti ya baraka inajaa nyumba, ikagusha paa
Unapompa Bwana utukufu, hofu inatoweka kwa saa
Wacha magoti, wacha mizigo, tuive huru sasa
Leo ni siku ya ushindi — tumevaa nguo za sifa za bwana
Kilio kilikuwa usiku, lakini asubuhi inaleta uamsho
Furaha imevuka, ngoma ya mfalme inatufungua milango
Nimevaa nguo za sifa, ngoma ya Daudi inaniita
Nacheza mbele ya Muumba, kinanda kinapiga — moyo unanena
Backup: Harmonize on last word of each couplet
Instrument: Introduce light brass, increase hi-hat syncopation
[Bridge – 2:41–3:00] Dancehall Breakdown (Build)
Eeh! Skank pon di riddim for the King!
Jump pon di beat, give Him praise tena!
Usinyamaze, toa sauti — wacha dunia isikia
Yesu ni mkuu, twacheza kwa moyo wa sifa
[Spoken Tag – Pastor K.O – over stripped beat]
Pastor K.O: “Ninasema, cheza kwa ukweli — kama Daudi aliyeruka mbele ya mfalme, cheza kwa shukrani, cheza kwa ushindi!”

Adlibs/Backup: “Hallelujah! Fire! Dance!” echo
Instrument: Strip to kick + snare + bass, then rebuild: add brass, stacked harmonies
[Final Chorus x2 – 3:01–3:40]
Cheza kama Daudi (eeh!)
Usiogope watu wakuone (yah!)
Cheza kama Daudi (eeh!)
Umeshinda
