The Afro-fusion landscape reaches a divine peak as the multi-talented Teni collaborates with the legendary Olamide for their spiritual masterpiece, “Zion.” This track serves as a monumental moment in the 2026 Nigerian music scene, blending Teni’s powerhouse vocals with Olamide’s iconic, rhythmic flow to create a song that feels like both a prayer and a celebration.
The song’s vibe is deeply rooted in highlife and gospel-influenced Afrobeats, featuring a high-fidelity production quality that utilizes live percussion and soaring horn sections. As a pivotal track in their respective careers, Teni – Zion lyrics showcases a “Ghetto Expressionist” sonic identity that explores themes of success, protection, and finding one’s promised land in a chaotic world.

Sometimes I wanna run away
Feeling lost mi o de m’ọna ilé
So many people judge me
Oh, but I don’t care
(Chorus)
Zion is very far away
But when I’m with you it’s like a holiday
You’re my safe space
Oh, I hope you know
I hope you know (I hope you know)
I hope you know (I hope you know)
Only you, only you, only you
Makes me feel a special kind of way
Olólùfẹ́ mi, ṣo mo pe iwo l’ayanfe mi
Promise me, promise me you will ride with me until the end
Bi iná ba n jó, t’ojo ban ro
Promise me, promise me you will ride with me until the end
(Chorus)
Zion is very far away
But when I’m with you it’s like a holiday
You’re my safe space
Oh, I hope you know
I hope you know, I hope you know
Only you, only you, only you
Make me feel a special kind of way
I hope you know (I hope you know)
I hope you know (I hope you know)
Only you, only you, make me feel a special kind of way
