The lyrics of NINIOLA's song "Innocent" explore the idea of being falsely accused and judged by society. The song starts with her acknowledging her presence and stating that even though she is present, people still believe in lies. She goes on to say that Satan has fallen into the gutter, meaning that even the most sinister force has been defeated. NINIOLA then asks for divine intervention to keep her safe from harm.
In the chorus, NINIOLA speaks about her inner struggle with her demons, trying to let go of her past mistakes, and not being like others who are fagbo and para (slangs for being rebellious and troublesome). She reassures herself that she is innocent of the accusations made against her and uses Vanessa, a fictional character who is always smoking and hanging out with the wrong crowd, as an example of what she is not. The chorus is repeated several times with the incessant jeke-jeke-jeke-jeke-jeke chant.
The song's lyrics show a strong stance against societal pressure and wrongful accusations. NINIOLA uses her lyrics to inspire others to stand up for themselves and not allow society to dampen their spirit. Overall, the song delivers a message of self-acceptance and self-love.
