'Present' is an exclamation for living in the moment. An infectious, high-octane afrobeats joint produced by Tim, with extra production from Le Mav, it is the lead single off Tim's debut album ‘Worry ᐸ' (pronounced ‘Worry Less’). The video was directed by the iconic TSE (Burna Boy, Wizkid),

With support from BBC Radio 1Xtra, Native Mag, TRACE, Triller, Guap Mag, Worldwide FM, City FM, Clout Africa, Rinse FM, Culture Custodian, Bubblegum Club, the 9-track album sees Tim explore different genres spanning Afrobeats, alté, Neo-soul and downtempo, positioning the project as a future classic in the alté canon. features appearances from music powerhouses Lex Amor, Prettyboy D-O, MOJO AF, Tena Tenpo, Lady Donli, DAP The Contract, July Drama and Kobla Jnr.

In Tim’s words; "Present is a song about living in the moment. Personally I sometimes find it hard to stay present in certain moments but I think we all deal with this as human beings. This song represents a rare moment in which I was truly able to fully express myself through music, from the lyrics to the production to the arrangement of the song, I felt what it meant to be fully switched on through this song."

Lyrics
You’re welcome, You’re welcome
This here land we don’t wait till help comes
Don’t ask the elders, it’s what they left us
On the grind and it’s what we learnt from
We grew tired of hearing their lectures
So we rebelled we came with a vengeance
All my warriors in attendance
Fully sentient, engines relentless
So I know we’re bound to be legends

Have no fear, I come to inspire
Though the situation sounds dire
It’s exactly what you require
Let the sights and sounds light your fire,
Let it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

Tell me say they no dey expect am
No fit see spirit when e enter
You suppose to feel am fi chakra
Just like the times we breathe in the ganja
Big spliff a burnin just like a Rasta
Big wheels a turnin just like a monster truck
Make sure the ground looking thunderstruck
Up on your feet when the beat come clutch
Groove and rock,
Rock to the riddim and groove
Make you start to dey vibrate
I tell you it’s highly medicinal
Watch how a badderman dos it
You go dey gyrate like you was irate gan ni
No go dey sleep, ma lo sun
If you snooze then you lose
They go put you on cruise,
And we will not use our blues
as a way to excuse all the hate and abuse we’ve been used to

Jeje o
Jeje,
Awon olote
W’an pe n be
They been dey think say I send dem o
Ibo lon ti mo mi tele (tele) (2x)

Ibo lo ti mo mi
Where do you know me
Why you go come think say I send your daddy
Ibo lo ti mo mi
Where do you know me from?
How do you know me now?
(Ki lo mean)
What?
You say you said where?
You say you said what?
You say you said who?
E no fit be me
E no be for here
You say you said how?
(Ehn I no dey hear you, speak up)
