Mohbad “Sabi” Song/Lyrics Breakdown
In the pre-chorus, chorus, and post-chorus, Mohbad narrates how people advised him to seek spiritual help so they could cast a breakthrough spell. With the spell, he won’t need to borrow money and would eventually become a better singer even though he was already singing well.
According to him, it was a ploy to dispirit him and make him look incapable musically. They tried to put him down and make him feel like he lacked music skills. But, he says he is a glorious child with capabilities/skills musically and otherwise. He is progressing and traveling all over the world. He regards himself as a Fela person. He prays to keep making a huge profit in his music as against the desire of his enemies to stop seeing him make money. He wants to keep enjoying his life.
