What is the song Buga by Kizz Daniel and Tekno all about?
In the song “Buga,” by Kizz Daniel and Tekno, the artists spur people “that are working,” and those that are not, to get themselves busy with an activity/job, be alert, and ensure they collect their money (even if they have to be cruel to collect what rightfully belongs to them) from whatever they do without anyone oppressing them.
They further encourage people to give themselves a pat on the back after working hard, flaunt their success, have a better appearance, live the kind of life they desire, more like “Davida loca,” and oppress (haters) with it.
