Lyrics

## Intro (Spoken over scratchy vinyl crackle)
MC Scratch: “Yo, yo—ever seen folks so nice you think they glitching? Let’s find out why…”

## Verse 1
I roll up to the mall, see a crew holdin’ hands
Smilin’, prayin’, singin’—like it’s some wonderland
They shoutin’ “Hallelujah!” while I’m just tryna shop
They shout “Praise the Lord!”—man, I think they wanna swap
My earbuds for a sermon, my kicks for holy socks
Is this some new franchise? “Christianity: buy one, get socks!”
They hugging total strangers, passin’ out granola bars
I’m like, “What’s the catch?”—no catch, just lookin’ like rock stars
Tell me why folks glowin’ green, like aliens on TikTok
Is Jesus selling green juice? Or they just can’t stop?

---

## Pre-Chorus (Spoken / Half-time beat)
Pastor Pete: “Young man, do you feel that love? It’s the Holy Spirit, not just Mystic Kool-Aid!”

---

## Chorus (Call-and-Response)
All: “What is the What?”
Lead: “Is Jesus this talk?”
All: “What is the What?”
Lead: “He’s more than a walk!”
All: “They’re smiling all day—like it’s some grand walk!”
Lead: “I gotta know why—so spill that tea, Doc!”

---

## Verse 2
Next stop: drive-thru window, I hand my card
Lady says, “Your meal’s on us, friend—bless you real hard.”
They whisper “Jesus loves you”—I thought it was a theme park ad
No fine print, no catch, no contract with the pad
I Google “Jesus”—my signal’s straight-up doom
Phone says “No results”—like he’s ghostin’ my Zoom
But these folks keep praising, foot stompin’, tambourine
Their playlist is revelation, not just Top-40 teen
I try to join the chant, stutter on the “You”
They nod like I nailed it, then pass the peace to you
Peace sign from strangers—man, I’m freakin’ out, bro
But deep down I’m like, “Wait—this love’s way too dope!”

---

## Bridge (Rap Breakdown + Spoken)
Beat drops out—kick drum and clap only
I whisper: “So is this club free? Where do I enroll?”
They shout back: “Open door, just confess, that’s the goal!”
I mumble: “Confess what?”—they giggle, ring a bell
Pastor Pete pipes in: “It’s sin, son; come out your shell!”

---

## Final Chorus (×2, with ad-libs)
All: “What is the What?”
Lead: “Is Jesus this talk?”
All: “What is the What?”
Lead: “He’s more than a walk!”
Lead ad-lib: “He’s the way, the truth, the—”
All shout: “LIFE!”
Gang vocals: “Halle-lu-jah!”

---

## Outro (Spoken over rising organ swell)
MC Scratch: “So next time you see folks glowin’ and flowin’, don’t trip—just ask, ‘Hey, what’s the What?’ Then watch your life flip!”
