This song heavily references the Old Testament account of Jacob (who is renamed Israel which literally is defined as He who struggles with God / One that struggled with the divine angel) located in Genesis 32:22-32. Jacob wrestles with what was being variously described as an angel, a man, or even God himself, which is an event that occurs during Jacob’s journey back to Canaan and is often thought to be a Christophany.

Chance speaks on the sparring match that occurred between Israel and the being, relating it back to the fight he puts up in his life; with the album cover appropriately depicting Israel’s fight.
