Gen Z: Deuteronomy 5
1Moses gathered all the homies, and was like, "Yo, Israel, listen up to the rules and vibes I’m dropping today, so you can learn 'em and live 'em."
2The Lord our God made a dope promise with us at Horeb.
3God didn’t just make this promise with our ancestors, but with us, all of us here vibing today.
4The Lord was chatting with you face to face on the mountain, right outta the fire, no cap.
5(I was standing between you and the Lord at that moment, sharing the word of the Lord, 'cause you were shook from the fire and didn’t wanna go up the mountain;) saying,
6I’m the Lord your God who brought you outta Egypt, from the land of struggle.
7You ain’t gonna have no other gods before me, periodt.
8Don’t be making any idols or replicas of anything in heaven, on earth, or in the waters below, that’s sus.
9Don’t bow down or serve them, 'cause I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the drama of the parents on the kids up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, fr.
10But I show mercy to thousands who love me and keep my commandments, that’s straight bussin.
11Don’t be using the Lord’s name like it’s a joke, 'cause He ain’t playing, no cap.
12Keep the Sabbath day chill and make it holy, just like God said, fr.
13Work hard for six days, get that grind in, you feel?
14But on the seventh day, it’s all about resting, no work allowed, periodt.
15Remember you were a servant in Egypt, and God pulled you out with mad strength; that’s why you gotta keep the Sabbath, no cap.
16Show love to your parents like God told you; it’ll make your life better in the land He’s giving you, vibes.
17No killing, that’s just savage.
18Don’t cheat, keep it real.
19No stealing, that’s sus.
20Don’t be lying about your neighbor, that’s just whack.
21Don't be trippin' over your neighbor's girl, house, or anything they got. Just chill, fam.
22God dropped some serious wisdom on all y'all at the mountain, like a straight-up fire convo, and wrote it on stone.
23When you heard that deep voice from the dark (the mountain was lit with fire), you all rolled up to me, heads of your tribes and elders.
24You were like, "Yo, our God just flexed His glory and greatness, and we heard Him from the fire. This is proof God chats with humans and is still alive."
25So, why we tryna get wrecked? This fire's gonna toast us. If we hear God again, we might just be done for.
26For real, who else has heard the living God speak from the fire and not been ghosted?
27You go close and catch all the deets from God, then tell us what He says; we’re down to listen and follow.
28God peeped your words when you talked to me, and He was like, "I heard everything this crew said, and they spoke facts."
29Wish they had hearts that truly feared me and kept my rules for good vibes for them and their kids forever!
30Go back to your tents, fam.
31Ayo, you chill here with me, and I’ll drop all the rules and vibes you gotta teach them so they can flex in the land I'm giving them.
32So, keep it 100 and do what the Lord your God says: no swerving left or right, periodt.
33Just walk in all the ways the Lord your God told you, and you’ll be vibin', living your best life, and extending your days in the land you’re about to own.
