The day after teasing its world premiere on Twitter, Kanye West dropped the music video for "Closed on Sunday," the fourth track from his latest gospel-rap album, Jesus Is King, on Thursday.

The song includes multiple references to famous fast food outlet Chick-fil-A, which is traditionally closed Sundays to observe founder Truett Cathy's Christian faith. The timing of the video release falls on Thanksgiving, a day that the chicken restaurant is also closed in observance of the holiday.

"Closed on Sunday" includes the lyrics "Closed on Sunday, you're my Chick-fil-A/ Hold the Selfies, put the 'Gram away/ Get your family, y'all hold hands and pray/ When you got daughters, always keep 'em safe."

He then opened up about the track, noting, "That's why I say the song 'Closed on Sunday' is the hardest record ever made — it's harder than an N.W.A. record, because it's talking about protecting your kids from the indoctrination of the media, the thousands and thousands of images that are fed to children by the age of 6 or 7, and within those images, there are images mixed in that we don't know about as parents that are purposely mixed in, to lower the kid's superpower and esteem so that they can be more susceptible to consumption and feel that they need to consume, and become a part of the numeric, robotic system that controls so much of the media."

Taylor is a leftard. Kanye loves Jesus and Trump. When someone tells you who they are....believe them.

When someone tells you who they are, don’t blindly believe them. Not a good way to live.
