Gen Z: Ecclesiastes 2
1I was like, "Yo, let’s vibe and see what’s lit," but lowkey, it’s all just sus.
2Laughter? It's kinda wild. Mirth? What’s the point, fr?
3I was tryna sip some wine while getting my wisdom game up, figuring out what’s good for peeps to do while living under the sun.
4I went off and built some dope places, made houses, and planted vineyards, no cap.
5I created gardens and orchards, planted all kinds of fruity trees, straight bussin.
6I made pools to keep my trees fresh and thriving, just chillin’.
7I had servants and peeps born in my crib; my squad was stacked with all kinds of livestock, way more than anyone else in Jerusalem.
8I also copped mad silver and gold, royal treasures, and had singers and instruments for days, just vibing out.
9I was living large, way more than anyone else in Jerusalem, and my wisdom was always on point.
10I didn’t hold back on anything my eyes wanted; my heart was all about the joy from my grind, and that was my whole vibe.
11I peeped all the stuff I made with my hands, and honestly, it was all just vibes and stress, no cap, nothing to gain under the sun.
12I flipped the script to check out wisdom, madness, and folly: like, what can a dude do after the king? It’s all been done, fr.
13I clocked that wisdom is way better than folly, like light totally slaps darkness.
14The wise guy sees things clear, but the fool's just wandering in the dark: and I realized that both get the same fate, periodt.
15I was like, “If the fool's got the same fate as me, why am I even trying to be wise?” So, I figured this whole thing is just vanity.
16The wise don’t get remembered more than the fool; what’s happening now will be forgotten later. And how does the wise dude die? Just like the fool.
17So, I lowkey hated life; the grind under the sun was just heavy for me: all vanity and stress, fr.
18Yeah, I hated all the work I did under the sun: I gotta leave it to whoever comes after me.
19And who even knows if he’ll be wise or a fool? He’ll rule over all my work, and I thought I was wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
20So, I tried to make my heart chill on all the work I did under the sun.
21There’s this dude who works hard for wisdom, knowledge, and fairness, but if you didn’t grind for it, you just get handed a slice. That’s lowkey sus and a major bummer.
22Like, what’s the point of all the hustle and stress if it just weighs on your heart under the sun?
23His days are just sad vibes, and he’s always stressed; his heart can’t chill at night. That’s also kinda sus.
24Honestly, the best move for a guy is to eat, drink, and vibe with the good things he’s worked for. I peeped that it’s all from God’s hand.
25Who can munch or rush to enjoy this more than me, though?
26God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to the ones He vibes with, but the sinners just get the grind, stacking up stress to hand off to the good ones. That’s also sus and just a headache.
