Virus

I was seventeen years old
In twenty-twenty
The year history
Was wrote

I had a
Bible I never read
But somehow
I still tried to
Shove it down
Peoples' throats

I got on
TikTok and
Preached some words
I had only heard
From another preacher

But I
Didn't know
Where I would go
If that same night
I went and met the reaper

But I didn't care
'Cause I went viral

Words I said
From pure recital

Were makin' me
Look righteous

A sort of fabricated
Pious

And I'd fake my prayers
Misquote the Bible

And act like some kind of
True disciple

But my purpose resided
In going viral with the virus
Oh, oh

I got ten-thousand
Existential crises in my comments
How do I respond
But with some nonsense

Sayin' you need Jesus
And I know Him

Throwin' scripture
On a whim

But I
Didn't know Him
Any more than they did

And Mom said
I need to simmer down
Take a breath
And check my heart

But I'm a stubborn fool
Who plays by his own rules
And momma knows a
Thing or two

But I didn't care
'Cause I went viral

Words I said
From pure recital

Were makin' me
Look righteous

A sort of fabricated
Pious

And I'd fake my prayers
Misquote the Bible

And act like some kind of
True disciple

But my purpose resided
In going viral with the virus
Oh, oh
