Jesus in the Group Chat

Lil Sha Sha

[Intro]
[notification pings, hard 808 bounce, chopped vocal sample]
Yeah
Lil Sha Sha
They added everybody
So I added truth

[Hook]
Jesus in the group chat, now they acting strange
Soon as I bring the Word up, everybody change
Jesus in the group chat, let Him read the room
Some of y’all need prayer more than another meme to use

Jesus in the group chat, truth on display
No more hyping wrong just to keep the peace all day
Jesus in the group chat, watch the whole thing shift
When the Lord enters the conversation, every mask gets ripped

[Verse 1]
They was laughing at the mess, passing screenshots round
Talking like somebody’s pain was entertainment now
I typed, “That ain’t right,” then the typing bubbles stopped
Funny how the jokes die when conviction finally drops

One friend said, “Girl, why you always make it deep?”
Because gossip turns toxic when you feed it every week
Because words build cages, words can also set free
And I know what loose talk used to do inside of me

I used to send shade, used to stir the pot
Then log off like I never helped the whole thing rot
Now I check my spirit before I hit send
I don’t need to win the chat and lose another friend

If it can’t be said with love, I don’t need that line
If it tears somebody down, I won’t call it “speaking my mind”
Truth without mercy is a weapon in disguise
So I pray before I answer, then I let the Spirit guide

[Pre-Chorus]
Read that message twice
Before you press reply
Every word got weight
Every joke can cut a life

Let the Lord come in
Let Him change the tone
Some conversations
Should’ve never left your phone

[Hook]
Jesus in the group chat, now they acting strange
Soon as I bring the Word up, everybody change
Jesus in the group chat, let Him read the room
Some of y’all need prayer more than another meme to use

Jesus in the group chat, truth on display
No more hyping wrong just to keep the peace all day
Jesus in the group chat, watch the whole thing shift
When the Lord enters the conversation, every mask gets ripped

[Verse 2]
One said, “He cheated,” one said, “Go slash the tires”
One said, “Post his business,” turn the whole feed into fire
I said, “Protect your peace, don’t let revenge decide”
You can leave with dignity and still let God reply

Then somebody sent a verse, Romans twelve-nineteen
“Vengeance belongs to God,” now the chat went clean
No more plotting in emojis, no more feeding rage
Sometimes one piece of scripture flips the whole page

I know everybody typing “Amen” ain’t living right
But I’m not here to judge them, I’m just trying to bring the light
We can pray for one another, we can speak life through the screen
Or keep using private pain to feed a public machine

Ephesians four-twenty-nine, let no corrupt word proceed
Say what helps the listener, say what meets the need
I’m still funny, still direct, still Sha Sha with the heat
But Jesus gets invited every time I touch the keys

[Breakdown]
[beat strips to pings, claps, and bass pulses]

Before you screenshot
Pray

Before you gossip
Pray

Before you send that paragraph
Pray

Before you drag their name
Pray

Mute the mess
Block the lie
Speak with grace
Let pride die

[Bridge]
Lord, enter every message
Every call and every thread
Guard the words we type in anger
Before damage starts to spread

Give us courage to be honest
Give us wisdom to be kind
Let our phones become a doorway
Where Your truth can change a life

[Final Hook]
Jesus in the group chat, now they acting strange
Soon as I bring the Word up, everybody change
Jesus in the group chat, let Him read the room
Some of y’all need prayer more than another meme to use

Jesus in the group chat, truth on display
No more hyping wrong just to keep the peace all day
Jesus in the group chat, watch the whole thing shift
When the Lord enters the conversation, every mask gets ripped

[Outro]
[notification sounds echo over fading bass]

Seen by everybody
Read by the King
Watch what you type
Watch what you bring

Lil Sha Sha
Truth in the chat
Jesus got added
Ain’t no taking Him back
