Ai Yaw Masterkraft on the beat
The lyrics to Timaya's song "Ukwu" are all about the beauty and seductiveness of a woman's body parts, specifically her "ukwu," which is a Nigerian slang term for buttocks. The song opens with the beat by Masterkraft and the introduction of the chorus, which consists of the phrase "Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey Ukwu" being repeated over and over again. This catchy hook sets the tone for the song and makes it clear that the focus is on the woman's ukwu.
In the first verse, Timaya sings about how the girl is driving him crazy with the way she moves and the way she's able to bend down. He's clearly very attracted to her and can't help himself around her. In the second verse, he continues to highlight the danger that this woman poses to him, emphasizing again how her movements make her such a tantalizing and irresistible force.
Overall, the song is meant to be a celebration of the female body and its ability to command attention and seduce those around it. The repetitive chorus and the upbeat, danceable music make it a popular party hit, but the lyrics are certainly not for everyone, as they could be seen as objectifying women and reducing them to their physical attributes.
