Even though I love the visual of this song, I am really trying so hard to connect the flow of rhythm; ko balance, owa (it is) complicated, especially the part where Mr. P introduced another tune in the mid part of the song. The part he sang “Do good and good…”

I really love the Chin chun as in Chinese “feel” in the video.

So, let’s talk about the song Karma by Mr. P

According to the English dictionary, the word Karma is the force or law of nature which causes one to reap what one sows; destiny, fate.

I was expecting Mr.P to kill this song lyrically even if im no kill am beat wise with the above definition. I really can’t link the song to the word karma except in the bridge where he quickly attached

“Do good and good go follow you; do bad and Karma dey for you

Do good and good go follow you; do bad and Karma dey for you…”

At the beginning of the song, I felt he was clueless about what to sing. He just kept on repeating the same words for over was 1 minute, and then the way he rendered the word “karma” is not sweetening to the ears at all.

The lyrics self are not in array; as in they are poorly arranged. Oh! I just can’t believe Mr.P was the one that released this song; someone tell me he didn’t. Did he not replay this song to see how it sounds in his ears before releasing the track. Something must have happened. Of all singles he has dropped; this is just not it for me

I feel he was just jumping into too many new lyrics/lines without finishing a particular one properly. Mr.P should have either built his entire lyrics around the bridge and still title the song Karma or built his entire lyrics on the pre-chorus and chorus and look for another suitable title for the song. What ya all think?

So what should the song “Karma” be about?

The song Karma should basically be talking about those that wish evil for others and how evil befalls them instead. The song should advice people to be good to others, else the evil they do will come back to them (Karma) (Fine he sang that in the bridge)

However, the artiste sang more about his comfortable lifestyle which he attributes to God and says that if God was not God and was probably human beings; he would have been in tears and have gone down. He says people don’t wish him well but want his downfall.

O-ookay, may be what he is trying to say is that those that wish him bad, karma will befall them; that is bad things will also happen to them…

What does ekelebe mean? I am trying to really figure that out. You have an idea? Kindly fill other readers in via the comment box.

Mr.P sang basically in pidgin

Take a gander at the lyrics below.
