[Intro] Yeah. Sharp lines for a dull world. They whispering in shadows, but the light's coming. Look. [Verse 1] They trading whispers like a currency, but look at the cost, A flattering mouth is just a trap where the soul is getting lost. Proverbs told us how it goes, yeah, the whisperer separates, The closest of friends at the gates, sealing up their own fates. They spark a match with the tongue, a world of iniquity, James three, it sets a fire to the whole course of history. They digging pits for my name, but they just falling right in it, They trying to stretch out the truth, but they get snapped in a minute. A lying tongue is an abomination, hated by the Creator, They eating fruit of their lips, but the poison hits later. I keep the breastplate heavy, man, the posture is straight, You throwing shade but the Son is who I anticipate. [Chorus] Gossip burns, gossip burns They talk loud, truth returns Gossip burns, gossip burns God's shield stands, it never turns In Jesus Christ, I stand secure In Jesus Christ, I stand secure [Verse 2] They out here running their mouth, but they just running in place, They painting pictures with lies, but time is cleaning the canvas. See, Psalm one hundred and one says the slanderer gets cut off, They sitting high in their pride, but at the end they gonna cough. They shooting arrows in secret, aiming straight at the blameless, But Heaven's archers are ready, making the arrogant nameless. They try to bury my spirit, forgot that I was a seed, I’m rooted deep in the Word, I got the armor I need. So let them talk to the wind, their breath is running out fast, The first is coming in last, the wicked never will last. You see the shield is unmoved, it’s unburned and it’s pure, The Rock of Ages is solid, the covenant is secure. [Bridge] When flaming lies come flying, I lift truth under the sky. The enemy keeps on trying, But faith don't break, and neither I. The faithful need not fear his aim, The faithful need not fear his aim. [Chorus] Gossip burns, gossip burns They talk loud, truth returns Gossip burns, gossip burns God's shield stands, it never turns In Jesus Christ, I stand secure In Jesus Christ, I stand secure [Outro] Yeah. From the pit to the pulpit. The word stays true. In Jesus Christ, of that I’m sure. Oooh nun nah nun na na... The shield endures. Gossip burns.
