“Messiah” is an impassioned duet between Simi and her enduring idol, Aṣa. It’s a reflective, melancholy ballad of self-reliance and abandoning the burden of rescuing others.
Over 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
