The lyrics of “Sitashika Simu” (roughly translated as *“I Will Not Pick Up the Phone”* or *“I Won’t Answer the Phone”*) is mainly based on spiritual discipline, full surrender, and putting God above all else in life. Both vocalists use emotional narration and heartfelt Swahili refrains to emphasize that their time in connection with the Lord is sacrosanct, choosing to turn away from calls, notifications and worldly noise to remain locked in uninterrupted prayer and praise.
