Ransom
Aklesso Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me Jesus, give me Jesus,
You can have all this world, give me Jesus
Give me Jesus (Woah), give me Jesus (Woah),
You can have all this world, give me Jesus (Ah-ah-oh-oh)

I'm getting my fix 'til I'm ransomed
And I can't say no
No, I can't say no
She say I'm cute but I'm handsome
And she can't say no
No, she can't say no

Yeah yeah
Ah, ah
Yeah, yeah
Ah, ah
Yeah, yeah
Ah, ah, ah

Give me liberty give me death
I can't pay no demons no rent
I had faith that made mΠ΅ strong
But I feel the Lord calling me home
And I got plΠ΅nty
I got plenty strife
And I pray I live enough to see the mountain top
Yeah, I got plenty
I got plenty fight
I bleed that red and blue
Sak Pase, my mama's side
I had to come up from nothing
Had to stand up for something
Remember bathing in buckets
Now I'm singing in London
There some days I can't breathe
And at night I feel scared
I pray to God for some peace
In my dreams, He appeared

Woah woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah
Yeah, yeah
Gleece, can you fix the tempo?
The beat was killed by Enzo

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Give Me Jesus" express the singer’s desire to prioritize their spiritual life and prioritize Jesus over everything else in the world. They affirm that Jesus is more important to them than any earthly possession and they want nothing more than to keep Him close to them. The repetition of the phrase "give me Jesus" reinforces this message and emphasizes the importance of the relationship with God over materialistic pursuits. The song's refrain also includes the line "You can have all this world, give me Jesus" which indicates that the world and all its temptations hold no sway over the singer’s spiritual beliefs.


The second verse of the song touches on the theme of redemption, with the "ransom" mentioned indicating that the singer is being saved from something or someone and restored to a state of purity. The reference to the Lord calling them home and the prayer to be able to see the mountain top further emphasizes the connection with the divine. The choice of words like "plenty strife" and "plenty fight" indicate that the singer has had to face many challenges but through faith they have been able to overcome them. The song ends with a request to fix the tempo, reinforcing the need for order and balance in life to achieve a spiritual balance.
