(Producer Tag - Distinctive and bold)
*Mr Smart in the zone!*
*Njala to the world, we rise!*
(Intro - Gentle Sierra Leonean palm wine guitar intertwined with subtle Nigerian talking drum pulses, male and female vocal harmony, warm and inviting)
Male & Female (in sweet harmony):
Njala land, the sun don rise,
Krio breeze and Lagos skies,
We call for change, no disguise,
Hancy’s wisdom, hear our cries!
(Beat Drops - Vibrant Afrobeat with layered shakers, vibrant horns, and deep bass, a rhythmic call of the kalimba weaving through)
(Verse 1 - Male lead with female harmony echoes)
From Durham’s halls, through Freetown streets,
He walks with fire, where knowledge meets.
Peace and progress in his stride,
Njala’s heartbeat, our nation’s pride.
No more wait, no more delay,
Like harmattan winds, he clears the way.
Roots deep in Salone soil,
Hancy’s promise, no toil in vain, no spoil.
(Chorus - Call and response, energetic and catchy)
All: Vote Dr. Tommy Hancy! (Hancy oh!)
Our Academic Solution! (Solution oh!)
Lead the way with passion bright,
Njala’s future shining light!
Vote Dr. Tommy Hancy! (Hancy oh!)
Our Academic Solution!
(Verse 2 - Female lead with male harmony backing)
Clean as harmattan sky at dawn,
His record shines, no shadow drawn.
For better pay and brighter days,
He’s the fire that lights our ways.
From palm wine nights to city lights,
He dances with wisdom, sets things right.
No empty words, no hollow song,
Hancy’s lead is fierce and strong.
(Chorus - Even more vibrant, everyone joins)
Vote Dr. Tommy Hancy! (Hancy oh!)
Our Academic Solution! (Solution oh!)
Lead the way with passion bright,
Njala’s future shining light!
Vote Dr. Tommy Hancy! (Hancy oh!)
Our Academic Solution!

(Instrumental Break - Mr Smart’s signature: a powerful fusion of saxophone and talking drum solos, layered with kalimba melodies, a joyous crowd chanting softly in the background, building intensity with an unexpected rhythmic shift into polyrhythmic claps and foot-stomps)
(Outro - Smooth fade with steady palm wine guitar and spoken word over a soft drumbeat, male and female alternating)
Male: Dr. Tommy Hancy, the beacon bright.
Female: The trusted guide in academic fight.
Male: Head of Peace, with vision clear.

With Hancy’s lead, we all belong.
