“Messiah” is an impassioned duet between Simi and her enduring idol, Aṣa. It’s a reflective, melancholy ballad of self-reliance. Over a rich acoustic guitar and layered harmonies, they lament the pressure put on women to nurture others or be “messiahs.”The song’s message is liberating, embracing flaws, choosing self-love, and allowing others to carry their own burden.
Aṣa’s grounded tone perfectly complements Simi’s emotional intensity, creating a powerful dialogue between generations. “Messiah” stands out as one of the album’s deepest tracks, offering strength through serenity and truth through simplicity.

{Simi}
I silence the voice in my brain
That begs me to break off my chains
They say love is like fire but na me dey burn
Why I no go run oh when I no be bọlọ
How can I save you when I haven't save myself
Sometimes I try but you won't even take my help
I know I gave my best to you If nothing else
I love you but I'll never be your (Messiah)
I no be your Messiah
I've been burned by the fire
Trying to be your Messiah
I no be your...
{Aṣa}
Oh no, oh
There is nothing else to say, no
Guess I'll be on my way home
Tears can't fix us anymore, no
Can't do this on my own, no
I see you struggling
Oh baby, you acting so nonchalant
Self sabotaging
Oh baby, you gat too much trauma
I try to fix you
But baby, I can't be your m-m...
Messiah (Messiah)
I no be your Messiah (Messiah)
I've been burned by the fire (By the fire)
Trying to be your Messiah (Your Messiah)
I no be your...
{Simi & Aṣa}
Oh ye
Now you be on your way
Mi o se
Eledumare
Mi o ba ẹ wa, mi o dẹ ni ba ẹ lọ
If you need saving
(If you need saving)
Then I'll be praying
(Then I'll be praying)
I know you but I can't be your
Messiah
I no be your Messiah
I've been burned by the fire (There's is fire on the mountain)
Trying to be your Messiah
Oh no
I no be your Messiah
