Intro
Let's do it oh yeah
Come on, yo, rock it.
Born, born,
Born, born, born, born.
Verse 1 (Repeat x2)
He was born to a virgin named Mary on Christmas Day, He bled and He just died on the cross to take sin away.
You take Him high, you take Him low,
You take J.C. wherever you go.
Now tell me who?
Who, who?
Now tell me who?
Who, who, who, who?

Tell me, who's in the house? (J.C.)
Who's in the house? (J.C.)

Jesus Christ is in the house today!
Verse 2
The way is straight and narrow, and few there be that find it today, but there's an angle in the tangle, and its Jesus Christ - He's the way.
The solution to pollution of the mind and problem with sin, for two thousand years, its still: you must be born again.
Now tell me who?
Who, who, who, who?

Meaning & Inspiration
"Who's in the House" opens with a brief birth narrative, naming Mary's virgin birth and Christ's death on the cross within a single compressed verse before posing a repeated question about identity. That quick movement from nativity to crucifixion to question frames the entire song around Jesus's identity as something to be declared rather than assumed.
Its hook answers that repeated question directly through call and response, naming Jesus Christ present in the house today, treating His presence as an announced, celebratory fact rather than quiet belief. A second verse shifts from narrative to exhortation, naming the narrow way and the necessity of being born again as the practical response to the identity just announced.
Rooted in contemporary Christian hip-hop's energetic, celebratory style, the song functions as an upbeat declaration of Jesus's identity and continued presence, its closing chant inviting dance as the fitting physical response, repeating the central question and answer until the entire structure becomes a sustained, communal celebration of Christ's presence.
