By Kenneth Kiplagat
Renown Nigerian artist Tekno has come through with his latest track, "Sudden."
The song relays a socially-aware message that paints a clear picture of the current state in Nigeria that has been made worse due to the pandemic.
"The song uses an upbeat tempo to shed light on the current socio-economic situation, corruption, and poverty in Nigeria," reads a press release from the artist. "The singer and songwriter talks about how 'all of a Sudden,' the prevalent situation has caused the majority of Nigerians to plunge deeper into poverty and suffering, with nothing to eat."

"Sudden" Lyrics
If it's Spax
Then it's gotta be it
Eiiiii

Them dey burni person, Tekino
All of a sudden
All of a sudden
All of a sudden
All of a sudden
All of a sudden
No be today my people dey suffer
No be today
I say it don tey my people dey suffer
If na by hardwork
Poor man go get money
Poor man go get money
Abi you never hear
How much them dey pay police
To carry gun and stand for street
Some dey kill and turn to lagbaja
Rain everyday no umbrella
Kpaju kpa ju
Kpa kpa Jukpa jukpa machala
Talking talking drum
Ye ye ye
Talking talking tongue
Talking talking
And all of a sudden
All of a sudden
House it don catcheee fire
All of a sudden
Ye ye ye
All of a sudden
All of a sudden
2 - 2 billion is a nothing for them
All of a sudden
40 billion is a nothing for them
Eyy but what the hell do I know?
When I ain't no politician
What the f*ck do I know?
I'm just a musician
Wetin i talk it no matter
Even if na just constant electricity
Cos what the f*ck my brother
Some dey kill and turn to lagbaja

Take a look in the street
So many people begging
So many people gat nothing to eat
Fire on the mountain
Many many people gatz work to chop
Tell me who is their support
Wey we dey laugh

Some dey kill and turn to lagbaja
Ewoo ewo
Rain everyday no umbrella
