Lyricism
Smooth Criminal Lyrics points to majorly one thing- Rema is not about the mid life anymore. The way he flaunts his progress and achievements with Smooth Criminal lyrics points to how he is proud of how far he has come and the things he has put in to actually make it this far and still be at the top.
I mean, Smooth Criminal is a culmination of the hurdles and dues that Rema has encountered and he is trying to say with Smooth Criminal indicates that it all paid off. He is no longer someone you would see riding commercial or being in any space that isn’t VIP because he is no longer about that “normal life”
To an extent, Smooth Criminal lyrics shows that Rema is more than VIP. I mean, think about it. The normal rating for any service or person is 5 stars, but that does not mean you actually get 5 stars all the time.
However, Rema is saying with Smooth Criminal lyrics that he gets all the stars because that’s who he is right now, and he has worked hard enough for it.
Delivery
The Delivery on Smooth Criminal is cool. Rema delivers Smooth Criminal with that cool but really superstar vibe that makes you see that he has indeed arrived into that “Nigerian Dream” lifestyle.
Relatability
Smooth Criminal songwriting makes it really relatable. I mean, the Nigerian Dream is all about making enough money that not only do not have to worry about having money. You get to eat, dine and live wherever you want because you can AFFORD that lifestyle
Rema does not use Smooth Criminal to intimidate or unnecessarily flaunt his lifestyle and success. He is saying that he has a right to that lifestyle because he has earned it. This is what Smooth Criminal means.
