Trey Knowles' "Me Versus Tenant". The track presents a dramatic allegory where the servant Noble Drew Ali and Trey Knowles take the Tenant to court for mistreating the vineyard. The Tenant, unwilling to relinquish control, reacts with hostility, leading to a deeper conflict. The story unfolds with themes of sovereignty, justice, and ultimate reckoning.

The Tenant in this song represents the Jewish religious leaders, the chief priests, and the Pharisees. The vineyard represents God's people, the Israelites. The servants represent those who were sent to warn and guide God's people about the Tenants.
