Here the author of the song is having a conversation with herself, speaking at first quite introspectively.
Next she asks bigger world questions such as ‘is it true there’s nowhere to discard hate?’ and later we see her appearing to be in a conversation with God and herself through the feature artis...
[Verse 1]
On the fence hiding my hands
And losing sleep
Noise on the street
Lately I'm insecure
It's hard to say that I'm not sure
I'm fearful of the screen
Eating me
Will I lose the essence of being?
Belief is king
Monarchy is not seen
Royalty is within but
[Chorus]
I don't
I can't
I don't
I can't
I don't
I can't
I don't
I can't
I don't
[Verse 2]
Is it true we can't relate?
Is it true
There's no space to discard hate?
To find the root
I seek the truth
He'll set me free and free I'll be indeed
So now tell me
No I'll tell me
Growth needs pain
Pain needs aim and I
I need to see
I need...
I don't
I can't
I don't
I can't
I don't
I can't
I don't
I can't
I don't
I can't
I don't
I can't
I don't
I can't...
[Briggs the Wordsmith]
Just spent 12 minutes conversing with a youngster
About the importance of forgiveness
All the while I've got 5 missed calls from my father
I ain't got his number saved but I recognise the digits
Surely forgiveness must have some limits
70 times 7 I hear you say but
My heart's calculator doesn't wanna work
I know it's blocked out the sun's rays
Yeah I know what to do
But I don't
I can't
I know the truth
But sometimes I can't lie
I want the lies
I'm too tired of standing
But if I don't I know I'll fall for the next idol
The Lord knows my heart
And that's the scariest thing cos lately I'm not even sure
I know mine either
So forgive me
As I forgive those
Just as You forgive those You know will never come to You
They don't
But it's not like they can't
They don't
But it's not like they can't
[Zola Marcelle]
Crying in the dark
Only You can see my heart
I don't know me
Will you show me?
Will you show me?
Will you show me?
