While ‘Karmageddon’ has sparked significant
conversation and controversy, Iyah has stood her ground. She refused to compromise her vision when asked to change a key lyric line, leading to the end of her contract with her manager. She chose to walk away from her record label and now, fully independent, Iyah continues to carve her own path as an artist.
Her fearless approach is shaped by her unique perspective as a qualified medical doctor, having worked on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
LYRICS:
I open up my phone on a Monday morning
Staring at my screen
I'm tired and a little lonely
Mr Musk he said some shit the lefts are angry
Twitter wars and Gaza man it's overwhelming
Maybe that's how life becomes when
People less important than a profit line
No one cares about your dreams just pay
Your tax on time
Keep scrolling
Hold me near to you now
Gender, guns, religion and abortion rights
You better pick a tribe and hate the other side
Keep scrolling
But did you see Taylor live?
Man made virus watch the millions die
Biggest profit of their lives
Here's inflation that's your prize
This is Karmageddon
Turn on the news and eat their lies
Kim or Kanye pick a side
Cancel culture what a vibe
This is Karmageddon
Corporations swear they never lie
Politicians bribed for life
More than war it's genocide
This is Karmageddon
Welcome to the chaos of the times
If you go left and I go right
Pray we make it out alive
This is Karmageddon
It's fashion week celebs lose ribs
Balenciaga how's the kids
Just ask Drake he's losing beef
Kendrick killed him in his sleep
Diss tracks about beating up your queen
While women dying doesn't cause a scene
While we're fed all these distractions
Kids are killed from Israel's actions
I'mma speak my mind
Sick to death of all these crazy lies
A circus for humanity's decline
We just want a peaceful life give the people back their rights
And I've still got a beef
Cause Fauci's laughing and we've been asleep
And WHO's a liar and it's running deep
Big pharma finna eat they a devil make them weak
Man made virus watch the millions die
Biggest profit of their lives
Here's inflation that's your prize
This is Karmageddon
Turn on the news and eat their lies
Kim or Kanye pick a side
Cancel culture what a vibe
This is Karmageddon
Corporations swear they never lie
Politicians bribed for life
More than war it's genocide
This is Karmageddon
Welcome to the chaos of the times
If you go left and I go right
Pray we make it out alive
This is Karmageddon

Yeah, I think that's more probable since she's only criticizing the US/West for COVID and never mentions China. But I think, now that I've had that song on loop for 2 days and read into her, that she probably just meant the response, or lack thereof, is the man-made portion of the disaster. They just let preferred to downplay the dangers and let everyone die to keep the money flowing.
I figure it's also stuff like WHO declaring Covid over and not doing enough? But I don't know. Apparently, according to the lyrics notes on Genius, there's a documentary called "Thank you, Dr. Fauci" that she may have watched and been influenced by, but I haven't seen it myself either so I don't know and it's conjecture anyway.
She is a doctor and wrote about being on the front lines so I'm not thinking she's a Covid-denialist, maybe just rejecting the response and ways people profited off it. It can just so easily be or be interpreted as Right-wing conspiracy, Covid-denialism that I'm not entirely sure.
Wow. This could make me a pophead. Beautiful, timely song.
When she says "man made virus" does she mean Fort
BenningDetrick or Wuhan lab?I'm going to assume it's Ft. Detrick (because I like the song).
Detrick! That's the name. Thanks!

I wonder what she means by the WHO stuff.
Yeah, same on that one.
