The song "Vanity" by Arkman is a reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the superficiality of worldly possessions. The chorus stresses the idea that everything in this world is vanity and those who pursue material wealth and status are ultimately chasing after something that holds no true value. The message is directed towards those who are concerned about gaining more possessions and who would go to great lengths to acquire them, even if it means hurting others or becoming too focused on worldly pursuits.
The lyrics in the first verse encourage listeners to let go of their worries, regardless of their hardships. The line "weytin God say go be, surely e go be" emphasizes that everything happening in one's life is already pre-determined and the pursuit of wealth and vanity is unnecessary. The song also serves as a warning about the harmful effects of jealousy and greed on relationships. The second verse accuses those who pursue vanity of being quick to change, betraying relationships and values in order to gain more material possessions.
Overall, the song highlights the idea that pursuing vanity is a fruitless pursuit that only leads to temporary happiness and ultimately disillusionment. The song encourages listeners to let go of their obsession with material possessions and instead focus on what truly matters in life.

As a Sierra Leonean living outside the country, I must confess that this message is very touching and impressive. Music is about message that resonates with everyone not political message.
