Wheelbarrow

Song by M.I. Abaga, Beenie Man, Emmy Ace

4 mins • 2014

In “Wheelbarrow,” M.I. Abaga uses the image of a wheelbarrow to illustrate how his partner carries his emotional burdens and supports him through hardship.

The verses also celebrate African beauty. M.I praises women from several countries, such as Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Ethiopia, admiring their curves, faces, and presence. He sings about how these women make his heart race and give him strength, but his real appreciation is for the woman who supports him emotionally, not just physically.

Featuring Beenie Man, the song adds a reggae texture, giving it a relaxed but powerful vibe. Emmy Ace echoes the emotional weight in the chorus, making the image of the wheelbarrow feel deeply symbolic: she is the vehicle that carries him forward, allowing him to keep going.
