“Save Me (To Kill A Monkey)” uses metaphorical storytelling to discuss betrayal, justice, and the desperate cry for salvation in an increasingly chaotic world.
The “monkey” in the song symbolizes the scapegoats of society, the marginalized, the oppressed, and those who are conveniently blamed for larger systemic problems.
Through a gripping mix of Afrobeat rhythm, traditional percussions, and a haunting chorus, 2Baba’s voice carries the pain, frustration, and urgent need for change.
The song questions societal norms, calls out double standards, and asks the listener to re-evaluate what it means to be “saved” in a world where justice is often selective.
