I was skimming through videos on YouTube and I remembered Nduati sent me a lyric video called Amua Leo.
The video talks of what I think Nduati preaches most, vanity; fleeing the worldly. I was intrigued by the line, ‘Hakuna venye naweza sikiza Nyongwa na Mungu ashasema ananipa uhai, Irony ni that wanaitwa the Kansoul but hizo ndizo counsel tunafaa kucancel, alafu tunakimbilia neno la bwana mbio sana ni kama nyuma kuna city council’
As I was viewing the video, YouTube suggested another video Stonee Jiwe ft Nduati – Digehota and I kept playing this video over and over again.
Well, if you have not listened to this song yet, you don’t know what you are missing. The song talks of what most young Christians undergo. It reminds me of my past. It actually talks of two Christians who serve in worship but are out clubbing on a Saturday night. The song is a dialogue between Stonee Jiwe who invites Nduati to the club. The song beat is on point and the lyrics are hilarious.
Lines of the chorus go like, ‘Wooi! Digehota, nimesahau nimeokoka, kwani roho amenitoka, peer pressure dunia inanichocha’ The song relates to how we Christians justify our worldly pleasures with snippets from the Bible. Stonee talks of how we justify our debauchery with how Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding in Cana of Galilee and Nduati affirms this with the line, ‘But sidhani kunywa kidogo ni noma si wanasema a little wine is good for your stomach.’ Stonee then asks, ‘Kitabu gani’ and Nduati clearly represents the state of modern young Christians who overhear the word from other people instead of reading it. He replies, ‘Timothy ama Romans, acha kunishuku kwani umekuwa doubting Thomas?’
I love this song. This is because it represents the state of the so many young Christians who justify their worldly pleasures with the word. The rhyme scheme in the song is interesting and the song structure brings the flow of the story. There is so much sense in this song and it rebukes one who lets the flesh takes precedence over the spirit. Kudos to Stonee Jiwe and Nduati for this track.
