The lyrics to DJ Arafat's song Sabadam incorporate various themes, including gratitude, success, and determination against detractors. In the first stanza, Arafat wishes for God's blessing on the whole world and that humanity can move forward in unison. He goes on to state that he arranged the song himself and that he is "Yorobo l'Appache," a moniker he adopted in his career. He further introduces himself as Sao Taho, a pseudonym he uses in his songs.
In the second verse, Arafat reveals more about himself and his music. He identifies himself as a Ivorian musician who sings Coupé-Décalé music, which was pioneered by Douk Saga, the president of Sagacité, who was assassinated out of envy. Arafat acknowledges that he faces opposition from people who want to destroy him, but he vows to persevere.
The chorus repeats the word "Sabadam" multiple times, but it doesn't have a specific meaning in the context of the song. Listeners have interpreted the term in different ways, seeing it as a celebratory utterance or as a meaningless interjection.
