The lyrics to Blaq Diamond's song "Messiah" speak about the idea of surrendering to a higher power in the face of death. The opening lines "Aw' noma, Ngihamb' ethunzini lokufa, Angikwesaba lutho, Ngoba ukhon' ubaba, Umveliqangi, Thethelela baba" express the singer's acceptance of his own mortality, and his belief that he has nothing to fear because of the protection of his father, who he refers to as the "umveliqangi." The phrase "thethelela baba" urges the father to pour out His blessings onto the singer.
The repeated phrase "Thel'umoya oyingcwele" is a plea for the Holy Spirit to come and fill the singer with the divine energy, as he reaches the end of his life. The term "oyingcwele" refers to the notion of purity and holiness.
The lyrics on this song are meant to evoke a sense of spiritual power in the listener, and the repetition of phrases like "Thela, tshela moya ohalalelang" or "Thel'umoya" creates an almost meditative atmosphere that emphasizes the idea of surrender and acceptance of the inevitable. The song speaks to the power of faith and the presence of a higher force that is constant and dependable.
