Lyrics
Not to fear
There's no need to be afraid
You pour oil for my head
Symbolic reference to anointing or blessing
You pour oil for my head
-You pour oil for my head
-For my head
The anointing/blessing is specifically for the head
You pour oil for my head
Reinforcement of the act of anointing/blessing
I no fit do am myself
Recognition of inability to achieve this without external help
But you told me not to fear
Encouragement to overcome fear, relying on guidance or assurance
For my head
-You pour oil for my head
-I no fit do am myself
-But you told me not to fear
-Cuz you're my Daddy
Emphasis on the relationship with a fatherly figure, possibly God
You're my Daddy
-For my head
-You pour oil for my head
-I no fit do am myself
-But you told me not to fear
-You said make I follow
-But I no fit serve you if no be you
-Turn all my L's into W's
Desire for transformation of failures into successes
When you carry my weaknesses on top of you
Emphasis on the relationship with a fatherly figure, possibly God
Now e no de hard me to ba e lo
-You said go in my power you are my son
-So why should I run
-If God be for me devil go need to buy gun
Confidence in divine protection against adversities
Je M'appelle Imago Dei
Identity affirmation as made in the image of God
Enchanté
-I no fit fail cuz you're there
-No be me send myself
