Lyrics

I came down on a lightning bolt,

Obeah is a term of Igbo (West African) origin, widely spread throughout the Dutch and English speaking Caribbean. It refers to magico-religious Afro-Caribbean practices. This was his first single and the first song on his debut album. This is where Tony McKay presents his alter ego, Exuma, starting with a mythic narrative about his birth and about this spirit that existed even before he was born. He talks about the power of his obeah, not only as an obeah man, but as the obeah man, the ultimate magician. View wiki
