Description
[Intro]
(Percussion pulse, market horn stab)
Leko—mpo! (call)
Leko—mpo! (response, la-la)
[Verse 1]
Streetlamp sweat, vendor bells at dawn,
Drum skins slap like footsteps on the lawn.
An old radio wrapped in bright cloth ties,
Someone hums a tune that never dies.
She carries corners of town in her hand,
Cassette ghosts and lullabies from the stand.
Concrete heat, the skyline hums along,
Lekompo moves — the city sings its song.
[Pre-Chorus] (call & response)
When the night calls, we don't deny — (we don't deny)
Feel the carrier lift us high — (lift us high)
[Chorus]
Carry the song, carry it on,
Feet drum, heart hum, till dawn,
We rise, we ride, we belong,
Lekompo — la-la — Lekompo. (repeat x2)
[Post-Chorus / Two-bar Hook]
(Leko — mpo) — clap, clap — (Leko — mpo)
La-la — Lekompo — la! (response)
[Verse 2]
Rooftop lovers, high-kicks in the rain,
Taxi horns trade rhythms down the lane.
A mother hums a name into the night,
A streetboy keeps it close; it keeps him right.
Drum kick, bass dip — the pavement remembers,
Old stories stitched in leather and embers.
Market lights flicker, shoes slap the floor,
Lekompo hands them back what they were before.
[Pre-Chorus] (call & response)
When the beat bends, we hold the line — (hold the line)
Let the carrier fold time — (fold time)
[Chorus]
Carry the song, carry it on,
Feet drum, heart hum, till dawn,
We rise, we ride, we belong,
Lekompo — la-la — Lekompo. (repeat x2)
[Bridge] (payoff — spoken/sung over percussive breakdown)
Lekompo remembers names, keeps the lost alive,
Patches up a memory, lets an old love survive.
It carries lullabies and protest cries,
Maps of our mornings, our broken goodbyes.
(Beat drops to handclap — call & response)
Lead: Who carries us?
Choir: Lekompo carries us!
Lead: Who keeps the song?
Choir: Lekompo keeps the song!
[Breakdown — Vocal Chant]
(Leko! Leko!)
(Mpo! Mpo!)
(Leko-mpo!) — echo, la-la — (repeat and build)
[Final Chorus — Big Harmonies]
Carry the song, carry it on,
Feet drum, heart hum, till dawn,
We rise, we ride, we belong,
Lekompo — la-la — Lekompo. (x3, with rising ad-libs)
[Outro]
Carry it forward — stories on a string,
Lekompo on my shoulder, carrying everything.
Fade with market horn and one last chant:
Lekompo... Lekompo... (whispered, then gone)
[Vocal Arrangement Notes]
- Lead: warm, slightly breathy male lead on verses; push more chest on choruses.
- Ad-libs: female harmony on the top register, call-and-response crowd backing.
- Hook: two-bar shout "Leko—mpo" between choruses (can be looped as a vocal riff).
- Texture: layered harmonies on final chorus, tight percussion pocket, market-horn stab, sub bass pulse.
- Production tip: leave space for syncopated brass stabs and short guitar skanks; use reverb snaps on the chant to make it stadium-ready.
