Gen Z: Lamentations 3

1I’m the dude who’s felt the struggle from the wrath vibes.

2He’s led me into the dark side, but not the good light, fr.

3No cap, he’s totally turned on me; it’s like he’s got his hand against me all day.

4My skin’s aged like fine wine; he’s straight-up broken my bones, savage.

5He’s built a whole wall against me, surrounding me with bitterness and struggle, periodt.

6He’s put me in dark spots, like I’m one of the dead legends from way back.

7I’m trapped, can’t escape; these chains are heavy, no cap.

8When I yell and cry out, he just ghosted my prayers, sus.

9He’s boxed me in with stone walls, and my paths are all kinds of messed up.

10He’s like a bear lurking and a lion hiding, just waiting to pounce.

11He straight up switched up my vibes and left me in shambles; now I'm feeling all alone, fr.

12He pulled back his bow and made me the target, like, no cap.

13His arrows hit me hard, it’s like they’re stuck in my feels.

14I became the joke to my crew, and they’re singing about me all day, savage.

15He filled me with mad bitterness, like I’m sipping on that wormwood, it’s rough.

16He broke my teeth with rocks, now I’m covered in ashes, what a vibe.

17You took my peace away, and now I forgot what good times feel like.

18I was like, “My strength and hope? Gone, all thanks to the Lord.”

19Thinking about my struggles and pain, it’s that wormwood and gall life.

20My soul still remembers this pain, and it’s got me feeling humbled, periodt.

21I’m vibing on this thought, so I’ve got hope, fr.

22It’s all about the Lord’s mercy that we’re still here, no cap.

23Every morning, it’s fresh blessings: God’s faithfulness is lit.

24The Lord’s got my back, so I’m hoping in Him, periodt.

25The Lord’s good to those who chill and wait for Him, for real.

26It’s a vibe to hope and just wait for the Lord’s rescue, no cap.

27It’s good for a dude to take on challenges while he’s young, fr.

28He’s sitting solo, keeping it real, ‘cause he’s dealing with it.

29He’s eating dust with his mouth, hoping for something better.

30He’s turning the other cheek and dealing with the shade, savage.

31The Lord ain't ghosting us forever, no cap.

32Even if He brings the feels, He’s still got mad compassion, like, fr.

33He doesn't just hit us with the struggle for fun or make us sad, periodt.

34He’s not about crushing all the prisoners underfoot, that’s sus.

35He ain't about twisting the truth in front of the big guy upstairs.

36God’s not down for messing with someone’s cause, that's not it.

37Who's out here saying stuff's gonna happen if the Lord ain't in it?

38Good and bad vibes don’t just come from the most High, no cap.

39Why's a living dude complaining about his sins, though? That's wild.

40Let’s vibe check ourselves and bounce back to the Lord.

41Let’s vibe with our hearts and hands up to God in the clouds.

42We totally messed up and went rogue: You didn’t let it slide.

43You got mad, and we felt the heat: You took us out, no pity.

44You threw up a cloud so our prayers can’t even get through.

45You made us like the trash in the middle of the crowd.

46Our haters are out here running their mouths at us.

47Fear and traps are on us, it’s looking desolate and wrecked.

48My eyes are leaking like rivers for the downfall of my crew.

49My eyes keep dripping, no breaks, just straight tears,

50Until the Lord looks down and checks from up above.

51My feels hit hard for all the girls in my city, fr.

52My haters were coming for me like I’m a bird, no cap.

53They straight-up locked me up and threw a stone on me, savage.

54Water was drowning me; I was like, “I’m cut off.”

55I shouted out your name, Lord, from the depths of the dungeon.

56You heard my voice: don’t ignore my cries, periodt.

57You came through when I called you: you said, “Chill, don’t stress.”

58Lord, you fought for my soul; you saved my life, goated.

59Lord, you saw my struggles: judge my case, please.

60You saw all their hate and crazy thoughts against me, for real.

61Yo, God, You heard their shade and all the drama they throw my way;

62Those haters talkin’ mad smack against me, all day, no cap.

63Check them out, chillin’ and vibin’; I’m their whole soundtrack, fr.

64Hit them back, God, for real, based on what they’ve done.

65Give them some heavy feels, like a curse hitting them hard.

66Go after them with that savage energy, like You’re the GOAT up in the sky.

KJV: Lamentations 3

1I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

2He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.

3Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.

4My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.

5He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.

6He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.

7He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.

8Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

9He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.

10He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.

11He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.

12He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.

13He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.

14I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.

15He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.

16He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.

17And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.

18And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord:

19Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

20My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

21This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

22It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

24The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

25The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

26It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.

27It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

28He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

29He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.

30He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.

31For the Lord will not cast off for ever:

32But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

33For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

34To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

35To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,

36To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.

37Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

38Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?

39Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

40Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.

41Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

42We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.

43Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.

44Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.

45Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.

46All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

47Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.

48Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,

50Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.

51Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.

52Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.

53They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.

54Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.

55I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.

56Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

57Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.

58O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

59O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.

60Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.

61Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me;

62The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.

63Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.

64Render unto them a recompence, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.

65Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.

66Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord.
