Gen Z: John 17
1Jesus dropped some truth, looked up to the sky, and was like, "Yo, Dad, the time is now; flex your Son so I can flex you too."
2You gave him mad power over everyone, so he can hook up eternal life to all the peeps you gave him.
3This is what eternal life is all about: knowing you, the one true God, and Jesus, the one you sent.
4I’ve put you on blast here on Earth; I’ve wrapped up the mission you gave me.
5Now, Dad, give me that glory we had before the world was even a thing, no cap.
6I’ve shown your name to the squad you pulled outta the world; they were yours, and you gave them to me, and they’ve kept it real with your word.
7They know now that everything you’ve given me is straight from you.
8I dropped the words you gave me to them; they took it in and totally got that I came from you, and they believe you sent me.
9I’m praying for them; I ain't praying for the world, just for the ones you gave me, 'cause they’re yours.
10Everything I got is yours, and everything you got is mine; I’m shining through them.
11Yo, I’m not in this world anymore, but they are. Holy Father, keep them safe with your name, so they can be one, just like us.
12While I was vibin’ with them, I kept them lit in your name: everyone you gave me is safe, except for the one who’s sus; gotta fulfill the scripture, no cap.
13Now I’m coming to you; I’m saying these things so they can have my joy on full blast.
14I dropped your word on them; the world hates them ‘cause they don’t vibe with it, just like I don’t vibe with the world.
15I’m not asking you to pull them outta the world, but keep them safe from the bad stuff, fr.
16They’re not of the world, just like I’m not of the world, periodt.
17Make them holy through your truth: your word is straight-up truth.
18Just like you sent me into the world, I’m sending them out too, no cap.
19For their sake, I’m making myself holy, so they can also be holy through the truth.
20I’m not just praying for these peeps, but also for everyone who’s gonna believe in me through their word.
21They all gotta vibe as one; just like you, Father, are in me and I'm in you, they gotta be in us too: so the world can see that you sent me, no cap.
22The glory you gave me, I passed it to them; so they can be one, just like we are one, periodt.
23I'm in them, and you're in me, so they can be perfect together; then the world will know you sent me and loved them like you love me, fr.
24Father, I want the ones you gave me to be with me where I am; so they can see my glory that you gave me, 'cause you loved me before the world even popped off.
25Yo, righteous Father, the world doesn't know you, but I do, and these peeps know you sent me, no cap.
26I've told them your name and I’ll keep it real: so the love you showed me can be in them, and I can be in them too, lit.
