One Lyrics – Black Sherif

One Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro expresses a deep connection between the singer and a higher power, possibly God. He is saying they are one, meaning he feels guided and protected. The repeated phrase suggests that despite challenges, he remains close to this divine presence. He also hints at ongoing struggles and uncertainty in life.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, he reflects on feeling disconnected from home and the people he once knew. He changed his number, possibly to avoid certain people or situations. He grew up trying to please others, which made him create a different version of himself, acting in ways that weren’t truly him. Despite all of this, he acknowledges that life has had both wins and losses, but he still sees it as a blessing. He remains grateful to God, whom he calls the “Master,” believing that divine guidance has kept him on the right path through everything.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, he questions who will truly listen and understand his struggles. He wonders who will care enough to acknowledge his pain and help him carry the burdens he faces. This part highlights feelings of loneliness and the difficulty of finding genuine support from others.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the theme of unity between him and God. He reassures himself that even when things get tough, he is never truly alone. The phrase “nsɛm sisi” suggests troubling situations or chaotic moments, but his bond with God keeps him grounded. This part emphasizes his faith and trust in divine protection.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, he talks about a sudden disaster—a fire that destroyed everything in seconds. He reflects on how years of hard work were wiped out in an instant. His mother, who is in a foreign land, calls him, and he can hear the worry in her voice. She asks who will speak up for them, expressing concern and uncertainty about their future. This moment captures feelings of loss, hardship, and the pain of seeing everything fall apart.

[Chorus]
Once again, the chorus reassures that despite all the difficulties, he remains connected to God. He repeats that they are one, reminding himself that no matter what happens, he is not facing these struggles alone.

[Outro]
The outro reinforces the central theme of the song—his unbreakable bond with God. He acknowledges that challenges will always be there, but his faith keeps him strong. The repeated lines emphasize his trust in divine guidance, even in uncertain times.
