the expression is probably likambo ezalí té, or academically spelled : likambo ezalí tɛ́ (helps to know how to pronounce it).
"Likambo" is "matter, affair, concern"; "ezalí" is the verb "to be" kozala with the 3rd unanimate subject e- and present tense -í : e-zal-í, ezalí; and té (prounounced tɛ́, like French "tes" instead of thé, the accent marks high tone) is negation.
