As previous albums, The Offering is heavy on lyrical content dealing with spirituality, freedom of the mind and religion. On the track Salvation, Killah Priest talks about a spiritual battle with temptation.

Overall ending with: "Overall, The Offering is a solid album. Making a collection of 17 tracks which are listenable as a whole isn’t easy, and Killah Priest more or less manages to pull it off."
