wristwatch

SKEMA BOY's 'wristwatch' is a song that blends religious fervor with modern cultural references, creating a unique piece that speaks to both spiritual dedication and contemporary relevance. The lyrics emphasize the artist's commitment to his faith and his journey in pursuing a life led by Christian values. The repeated lines 'I been on my grind / This a lift off / All on God's time / Homie ain't no wristwatch' suggest that the artist is working hard on his personal and spiritual growth, acknowledging that this process is on God's timeline, not bound by the constraints of a wristwatch or human schedules. The phrase 'ain't no wristwatch' metaphorically rejects the idea of being controlled by time, instead embracing a divine schedule.

The song also touches on the theme of evangelism and the spread of the Gospel, with lines like 'Running after Jesus got the devil pissed off' and 'Told them they gon' know this song like it's up on TikTok.' Here, SKEMA BOY is saying that his pursuit of a Christ-centered life is causing a stir in the spiritual realm, angering the devil. The mention of TikTok, a popular social media platform known for viral content, suggests a desire for the song's message to reach a wide audience and resonate with listeners in the same way that trends spread on the app. This blending of religious content with modern digital culture is a strategic way to connect with a younger, more tech-savvy audience.

The artist also incorporates biblical imagery and references to Christian practices throughout the song. Phrases like 'Shepard of the (sheep sheep)' and 'Bible in my backpack' reinforce his identity as a follower of Jesus, while 'Got the fruits of spirit boy I call it soul food' alludes to the fruits of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Bible, which are characteristics of a life lived in accordance with the Holy Spirit. The song's narrative is one of transformation and commitment, as seen in lines like 'Boy I told them that I was blind but homie now I (see see).' SKEMA BOY uses his music as a platform to express his faith and to encourage others to find strength and purpose in their spiritual journey.
