Iyah May: “Karmageddon” – Official Video (2024)

by Iyah May on YouTube

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
