Tekno Freetown

Multi-talented Nigerian singer-songwriter and record producer, Tekno has released a socially conscious single titled ‘Freetown’ ahead of the general election in Nigeria set to take place today, 25th of February, 2023.

On ‘Freetown’, Tekno highlights some of the harsh conditions the Nigerian people are forced to live with. He also lends his voice against the promulgators of these harsh conditions. “Sierra Leone is a freetown, but the people no dey see chow,” the singer pours his heart out on the Xtofa-produced record.

Freetown is Tekno’s first solo offering for the year, a follow-up to his previous single, Pay which was released back in October 2022.

Lyrics

What goes up must come down
When I dey vex dey calm down
Sierra Leone is freetown
But the people no dey see chaao

So me go down to Lagos city
Giant of Africa wey no get constant electricity
Say me go to the street too many people i dey pity
3 years old for road dey beg money,
highway no be for small pikin

For long we go pray make e better
How many times we fo pray make e better
Since mama born me my people dey pray make e better
Offer and tithe, everyday them dey pay, say make e better

I go talk my own with my melody
Me no care if no one care for me
Who I fit help I go give money
Na the kind thing wey dey ginger me
And me no fit help everybody
But anywhere I go they want to hail me
Some dey wey dey argue who get money
But no better hospital wey dey for street

Instablog na him television
Them no fit post our politician
Election na selection
Everybody get ehm position

What goes up must come down
When I dey vex I dey calm down
Sierra Leone is freetown
But the people no dey see chaao

So me go down to Lagos city
Giant of Africa wey no get constant electricity
Say me go to the street too many people I dey pity
3 years old for road dey beg money,
highway no be for small pikin

For long we go pray make e better
How many times we fo pray make e better
Since mama born me my people dey pray make e better
Offer and tithe, everyday them dey pay, say make e better
(say make e, say make e better)

Tell me where i wan begin
Hunger wan kill person pikin
John Baptist 1919, Still be like this in 2020

(Dunno) How things dey go like this
(Tell me) How the road bad like this
Fuel scarcity for country wey get everything e need to take care of people

What goes up must come down
Food no dey
Light no dey
Water no dey
Work e no pay
How my people go dey?
How una dey?
