Lyrics

Chorus


Closed on Sunday, you're my Chick-fil-A
Closed on Sunday, you my Chick-fil-A
Hold the selfies, put the 'Gram away
Get your family, y'all hold hands and pray
When you've got daughters, always keep 'em safe
Watch out for vipers, don't let them indoctrinate
Closed on Sunday, you my Chick-fil-A
You're my number one, with the lemonade
Raise our sons, train them in the faith
Through temptations, make sure they're wide awake
Follow Jesus, listen and obey
No more livin' for the culture, we nobody's slave


Verse


Stand up for my home
Even if I take this walk alone
I bow down to the King upon the throne
My life is His, I'm no longer my own
I pray to God that He'll strengthen my hand
They will think twice steppin' onto my land
I draw the line, it's written in the sand
Try me and you will see that I ain't playin'
Now, back up off my family, move your hands
I got my weapons in the spirit's land
I, Jezebel don't even stand a chance
Jezebel don't even stand a chance


Outro

Meaning & Inspiration

"Closed on Sunday" opens by naming an everyday brand as a metaphor for devoted rest, closed on Sunday, before turning that image toward family practice, setting aside phones and photos in favor of hands held together in prayer. That ordinary comparison, a restaurant's closed sign, grounds the song's call to intentional faith in familiar, recognizable terms.

Its chorus names specific protective commitments, keeping daughters safe, raising sons trained in faith, watching for those who would mislead them, treating parenting itself as a spiritual responsibility rather than only a domestic one. The verse shifts to personal declaration, naming submission to Christ's kingship and describing life as no longer self-owned.

Rooted in contemporary gospel hip-hop's confessional style, the song functions as a declaration of household faith and spiritual resistance, its closing verse naming an opposing spiritual force directly and declaring it powerless, closing the song by returning to its familiar opening image as a settled refrain.
