1Yo, listen up, everyone; all you peeps in the world, pay attention:

2Whether you're lowkey or highkey, rich or broke, we’re all in this together.

3I'm about to drop some wisdom; my heart's vibin' on understanding.

4I'm tuning in to a parable: gonna spill some deep thoughts on the harp.

5Why should I stress when times get rough, when my bad vibes are all around me?

6Those who flex their cash and brag about their stacks;

7None of them can save their homies or drop a bag to God for them:

8(Cuz saving souls is mad valuable, and it’s not happening forever:)

9So they can live forever and dodge decay.

10For they see that wise folks kick the bucket, just like the fools and the wild ones, leaving their cash to others.

11They think their cribs will last forever, naming their lands after themselves, no cap.

12But humans in honor don’t last: they’re like the beasts that fade away.

13This is their vibe, and it’s kinda sus: yet their fam still backs their words. Selah.

14They’re like sheep chilling in the grave; death’s got a feast on them; and the righteous will rule over them in the morning; their glow will fade in the grave.

15But God’s gonna save my soul from the grave’s grip: He’s got my back. Selah.

16Don’t sweat it when someone gets rich, when their crib is looking fire;

17Cuz when they die, they can’t take anything with them: their glory won’t follow.

18Even if they blessed themselves while alive, people will hype you up when you’re good to yourself.

19They’ll join their ancestors; they’ll never see the light.

20A dude in honor who doesn’t get it is just like the beasts that fade away.

1Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

2Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

3My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

4I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

5Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

6They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

8(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

9That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

10For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.

12Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

13This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

14Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

18Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.

20Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
