In “Don’t Waste Your Time,” Trey Knowles' song speaks frankly about why he refuses to give his time, energy, or spiritual gifts—his “pearls”—to those who choose darkness over light. He compares these people to swine, following the works of the devil and walking in the shadow of the colonizer’s legacy. Since they reject truth and the light of God, Trey concludes that it is pointless to worry about their salvation. Instead, he chooses to focus on protecting his own soul and walking in righteousness. Still, Trey carries no hatred; he sincerely wishes God’s Spirit, clarity, and righteousness upon everyone.
00:00I think I'm done, but waste my time, I give my pearls a swine, they don't see the lights because they blind, wide as the gate and narrow as the door, if they had it just a little faith, they can renew their mind, silver and gold, this is not how my story is going to be told, my treasure is in heaven, wrapped around the number 7, you know, I'm different, the world hates me, because they don't know me, if I was part of the world, they would love me.
00:30I'm a new creation, they tried to erase me, I'm part of God's property, follow Jesus, those who practice sin, it's empty with us, they're not part of our character, when you're going to kill the flesh, live in the spirit, yo Trey, don't waste your time, why give your pearls a swine, they don't see the light, it's because they blind, yo Trey, don't waste your time, why give your pearls a swine, they don't see the light, it's because they blind,
01:00yo Trey, don't waste your time, why give your pearls a swine, they don't see the light, it's because they blind, yo Trey, don't waste your time, why give your pearls a swine, they don't see the light, it's because they blind,
01:18those who are born of God, don't keep on sinning, what you're trying to do, crucify Jesus all over again, don't you know, how to accept change, and go into repentance, are you ungrateful, because of grace, I'm rooting for you,
01:31I just want you to love me, choose the path of righteousness, holy standards, I told you to keep the 10 commandments, you're talking to people that don't have no understanding, no comprehension, who's wise in this generation, those who have ears that them hear, they're hearing, but they're not seeking, not believing, if they believe, they would have purified themselves,
01:52I think I'm done, don't waste my time, why give my pearls a swine, they don't see the lights, it's because we blind, wide is the gate, it narrows the door, if they had just a little faith, they can renew their mind, silver and gold, this is not how my story is going to be told, my treasure is in heaven, wrapped around the number 7, you know, I'm different, the world hates me, because they don't know me, if I was part of the world, they would love me,
