I was going through the comment section of someone's post today and I found a comment that I completely agreed to. It was the truth. This person was talking about wars, gardening, and stuff until he asked the author about musicians. And the authors returned to answer that Musicians are Spies. From nowhere a stranger, someone I know agreed with the author too said;

Good answer. There are always hidden messages in those lyrics
The Poor Man's James Bond Volume 3: Potassium Chlorate and some uses for it

And I nodded with a chuckle. There are songs I have listened to and I knew the owner was trying to pass a message across. In short, we have all listened to those songs too. Those that resonate with us so deeply that we could even swear the artist was talking about us.

I don't even want to talk about artists who try to pass a message across about government, politicians, and any other people you could think of that have tried to enslave us in one way or the other.

If I remember correctly, my dad had told me many stories about artists who lost their lives because of the music they wrote, the lyrics directly or indirectly pointing fingers at bad people or exposing some sort of truth that they would rather have let remain a secret

So it was rightful of the comment author to say that most musicians are spies.

And there are other stories my dad told me about artists who were never afraid of what the bad blood will do to them. One such that has gone down in history is Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti. He was a legend with his lyrics. An activist as the internet calls him.

He must have been a master of everything including death because of how he could write such scary lyrics that would put him in a bad position with people of high class and power yet he gave himself the name, Anikulapo which meant "He who carries death in his pouch", and Wikipedia says it was interpreted to mean "I will be the master of my own destiny and will decide when it is time for death to take me"
