Happiness, you give me happiness
This is not about the money and its not about the fame

The chorus of Harrysong's "Happiness" is a loving tribute to the state of happiness that the singer is in. He attributes his happiness to a source that does not involve money or fame, but instead something more profound. The way "you got me feeling" is somewhat ambiguous, but it could be read as referring to a specific person, activity, or simply the feeling of happiness itself. Regardless, the singer is evidently ecstatic about the feeling, as he repeats the chorus multiple times throughout the song.
The verses of the song encourage the listener to spread good vibes and positive energy to others. Harrysong suggests opening up one's heart, loving thy neighbor, and helping those in need. He also warns against hate and suggests examining one's feelings if they're feeling negatively towards others. The repeated refrain of "Shey ema li'ewu, li'ewu, li'ewu" is Nigerian pidgin for "will you help me," emphasizing the importance of community and lending a hand to those in need. Overall, the song is a celebration of happiness and an encouragement to spread it to others.

This is the best song I have heard from harrySong.... It is so funny that I am hearing this only 4 years later. this is a very exciting song and lyrically loaded. he said something something in the song that caughtb my attention, "Chairman, low, low, low, touch me o o o"... And I saw someone giving food to a homeless beggar. This shows it's not until you have it alll that you can lend a helping hand and make others happy. This is a great song and I wonder why it was not celebrated. I will score it higher than reggae-blues, but it is obvious that our indomie generation do not listen to lyrics but are all about the beat. Nice one Harry for this give-back to the community. It generates a positive sensation when aired on radio.
