Q - What makes this singer's lyrics about the pandemic so special?
Before letting you know what makes this pop singer and her choice of lyrics so special take a peek at Iyah May's video which has the offending lyrics embedded as subtitles...
THE MUSIC VIDEO: KARMAGEDDON
THE OFFENDING 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

Great lyrics.
We've seen great freedom songs and lyrics from many, but what makes this singer's lyrics about the pandemic so special?
WHO IS IYAH MAY?
Marguerite Clark, whose nom de guerre is Iyah May grew up with her mother and older sisters in a small rainforest community in Far North Queensland.
Whilst working as a student in New York, a strange twist of fate involving a New York Police vehicle lead her to meet infamous musician Shaggy. This stroke of luck marked the beginning of her solo musical career.
Although this sounds like a run of a mill story of good fortune and wild conicidences on the path of a rise to fame, there is a key plot twist.
Guess what was Iyah May doing in New York at the time of the catalyst moment?
She was not just a singer looking for a break.
She was a broke medical student participating in HIV research.
A - Yes, Iyah May the singer who lost her contract for lyrics about the plandemic... is a medical doctor.
This instagram post from 9th April 2020 shows her working in a hospital Emergency dept during the early stages of the plandemic.
As she said:
So I've gone back to working as a doctor fulltime in Emergency while we get through covid which means I have less time to work on my music and share stuff with you guys so that does make me sad, but I'm grateful I can offer something else in another way. I'm still going to keep writing and creating so please send me beats or cute lyrics 💜 In the meantime here's a photo of me looking like a snack bout to go to Saturn brb #staysafe #staysane
As she says on her personal website.
"Fuelled by my own despair over a divided world and deceitful corporations, I channelled my frustration into Karmageddon. My career as a doctor has been greatly impacted, and I was affected on a deep and personal level.
For a long time, I felt isolated with my opinions. This song reflects the helplessness many of us feel in these dark times."
