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.
