Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Turbulence feat. I Shenko's song "Obeah Man" are about avoiding negative energy from witchcraft and stay focused on positivity. The song emphasizes on the power of God and Rastafarianism over evil practices like witchcraft. It begins with Turbulence and I Shenko proclaiming themselves as followers of Rastafarianism and avowing their faith in their God. They emphasize on staying away from witchcraft, roaches, lizards, and other negative energies that could affect their progress. The duo also encourages their listeners to stay focused and not be distracted by these negative energies. The chorus emphasizes the importance of not falling prey to the tricks of the evil doers who try to bring them down with the help of the Obeah man.


The lyrics of the song reveal the challenges faced by musicians and the extreme measures some people take to pull them down. Despite these challenges, the duo maintains their strength and resilience in the face of adversity. I Shenko reflects on how some people give money to the Obeah man to cast spells on them in order to succeed in life but, despite all their attempts to bring them down, their talent and hard work propel them to the top. The song ends on a positive note, reassuring listeners that their strength and faith will help them overcome even the strongest of evil energies.
