1K Phew - Back Soon feat. KB & Parris Chariz (Official Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
"Back Soon" by 1K Phew, featuring KB and Parris Chariz, released on May 3, 2019, is a potent declaration of faith and an urgent call to readiness for the imminent return of Christ. The song doesn't dwell on complex lyrical narratives; instead, it hammers home a singular, vital message: Jesus is coming back, and we need to be prepared. The opening, with its energetic ad-libs from 1K Phew and guest features, immediately sets a vibrant, anticipatory mood, signaling that this isn't just a song, but an announcement.
The core of "Back Soon" is its unwavering focus on eschatology, the study of end times, a theme deeply rooted in Christian scripture. The repeated phrase, "Jesus, finna come back soon," serves as a powerful mantra, echoing the Apostle Paul's words in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, where he describes the triumphant return of Christ with a loud command, the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ rising first, followed by believers still alive. The lyrics encourage listeners to "say what you need to say," implying a need for open confession and living authentically before God. This resonates with the call to repentance and sincere faith found throughout the New Testament, particularly in passages like Hebrews 10:23, which urges believers to "hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering." The stark warning, "Give it up, better not give me no cap," speaks to the judgment to come, where insincerity and deception will be exposed. This aligns with Jesus' teachings about hypocrisy and the importance of genuine devotion, as seen in Matthew 23:27-28, where He likens the Pharisees to whitewashed tombs, appearing beautiful on the outside but full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. The song stresses that God sees through all pretense, and that on judgment day, only truth and genuine faith will stand.
1K Phew's verses, particularly the first, draw parallels between worldly struggles and spiritual preparedness. He speaks of past pursuits he can no longer return to, a transformation brought about by divine intervention ("God came to save the day"). This reflects the believer's journey from sin to salvation, as described in Romans 6:6, "We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, and that we should no longer be slaves to sin." The imagery of looking to the sky "like the roof 'bout to crack" captures the palpable anticipation for Christ's return, a sentiment echoed in Romans 8:19, which states, "For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God." The verse also employs sports metaphors, likening divine intervention to a "Shaq attack" and "KD," suggesting overwhelming, unstoppable power, and referencing the importance of showing one's "rock" and saying "please," which can be interpreted as a call to humble prayer and reliance on God's grace. The warning about not letting an "outcast" in one's circle and the mention of "Black Panther" resilience speak to the importance of discerning relationships and maintaining spiritual fortitude in a challenging world, perhaps alluding to the need for a community of faith that is both strong and discerning. The final line, "When He come back you gon' ask for one more chance," is a poignant reminder of the limited time for repentance.
KB's contribution elevates the message with his characteristic lyrical dexterity and theological depth. He contrasts the ephemeral nature of earthly power and deception ("frogs," "frauds," "dead as the presidents you depend on") with the eternal truth of God's justice. The idea of "Chief don't need a cheat code to defeat them" suggests God's inherent authority and power, while "If there's beef though, it'll be a free throw" implies that divine judgment, while serious, is ultimately a guaranteed outcome for those who oppose Him. His words about reaching low to get "peace flow to your soul" and the coming judgment ("Everybody gotta stand in the end zone") underscore the urgency of embracing spiritual peace and facing accountability. The line, "I gotta save some cats… I'm tryna bring 'em back," beautifully articulates the Great Commission, the mandate to spread the Gospel and rescue souls from spiritual peril, referencing Jesus' own mission as the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to seek the lost sheep (Luke 15:4).
Parris Chariz's verse adds a layer of contemporary witness, emphasizing lived faith and consistent practice. His mention of "paying my tithes" and being "blessed" by divine provision ("sent me the water, I'm blessed") highlights the tangible blessings that accompany obedience and faith. The emphasis on "not a leak, it's hazard" and "Don't gotta preach, I practice" signifies living out one's faith transparently and authentically, where actions speak louder than words, aligning with James 2:17's assertion that "faith by itself, if it does not have deeds, is dead." The powerful statement, "I put the blood over everything," is a clear testament to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ and the redemptive power of His blood, referencing passages like 1 John 1:7 ("If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin"). The closing lines reinforce a community bound by faith, not material possessions, demonstrating a spiritual wealth that transcends worldly value.
"Back Soon" is a compelling and spiritually charged piece that serves as a powerful reminder of our Christian hope. It’s not merely a song about an event; it's an exhortation to live in a state of constant readiness, with hearts aligned with God’s will, anticipating the glorious return of our King. The message is clear, the call is urgent, and the foundation is firmly rooted in Scripture, making it an inspiring anthem for believers navigating the present while looking forward to the future.
