about

Coming off a successful release of his latest EP ‘Vibe Alive’ which gained massive support from 49th Street, iMullar, Native, RADR, More Branches and more, Nigerian musician Tena Tenpo shares ‘On My Way’, the first single from a joint project with British rapper benmaelen, featuring Tim Lyre.

Like a suspense scene from a blockbuster thriller movie ushers us with the consistent lure of a xylophone, then builds the tempo with the introduction of electronic shakers, Tena is really showing us what it means to be ‘On My Way’.

This masterful melding of Afro-garage with elements of hip hop and Fuji music is an eclectic portrayal of experimental directions with sound that preserves the soul vive throughout.

‘On My Way’ is a feel-good bop, perfectly crafted to usher in the good vibes of all festivities for the Christmas season. Tap in!

lyrics

Got one thingy
Smoke one ciggy
My head be spinning like wheels
See me winning BM zimming
Your bm in it aswell
I need me a bank With 3 m’s in it Don’t feel me
I’m feeling myself
Don’t worry I’ll fill it myself
Took that flow from haze Nice little bounce
That old school wave
Never did roll up grade
But I do roll like a rollerblade
Hold up wait
This hit harder than 808
Life is a game cards
Someone show me the ace of spades
Going on David Blaine
One or two tricks stay up my sleeve One or two bits stay in my sheets Wanna see drip
Let me make it rain
Same shit new day
Nice new bit came in today Never been selfish
Might split that with you 2 ways
I’ll be on my way Will you?
Wait up
For me?
For me !
I’ll be on my way Will you?
Wait up
For me?
For me !
So I say: life for me is amazing Don’t light no spliff but I’m blazing I’m on my way now be patient
The things I done there, be crazy
Play the shit in the club
She seen my drip cos a flood
My heart is cold like a morgue I’ve been on this road for so long
Awon temi jaboti e jabo nbe
Put your hands up in the air ema lo ka’wo nle Omoge ge shi ge ge
shi ge
ko shi ge ge
(Ahh)
Omo ye sho shi ge ge shi ge
ko shi ge ge
(Ahh)
Awon temi jaboti e jabo nle
Put your hands up in the air ema lo ka’wo nle

Omoge ko shi ge ge shi ge
ko shi ge ge
(Ahh)
Omoge ko shi ge ge shi ge ko shi ge ge (Ahh)
I’ll be on my way Will you?
Wait up
For me?
For me !
I’ll be on my way Will you?
Wait up
For me?
For me !
Beasty don enter garage
Coming soon na 10 car garage All clc members are bad
For this side igbo dey enter salad Tenpo ni beasty
Sho ri Tim ni senpai
Mojo ni cristi
So we leave with them pies...
