JackBoy - Protecting My Energy lyrics

[Intro] (Reece, take 'em to church) [Chorus] I feel like ni**as ain't as real as me So I'm protecting my energy I've been talked down on by family So nowadays, we don't speak like we enemies Look in my eyes, see I've been crossed before They hurt him bad, so bad he could feel it in his soul [Verse 1] Dripped in the latest, I guess that's the reason these ni**as hating I ain't never throw no shade, I grind hard and patiently waited I was gambling with my life, but I promise, I've never been to Vegas In the hood, shooting dice, clutching on a dirty .380 I'm good anywhere, I earned my stripes just like a zebra Cold world, I'm in the projects, hugging on my heater I took for me to get a million for her to see I ain't regular I moved on, I don't need you, b*tch, don't call my cellular Big gun in my Moncler, I'm not a wrestler Steppin' on ni**as, check the score, I'm way ahead of you Got crossed by a couple ni**as I ain't expect hated We had plans to ball together, but instead, the love faded [Chorus] I feel like ni**as ain't as real as me So I'm protecting my energy I've been talked down on by family So nowadays, we don't speak like we enemies Look in my eyes, see I've been crossed before They hurt him bad, so bad he could feel it in his soul [Verse 2] I was raised by the streets, it's hard to adapt to the fame Young ni**a with a old soul, look in my eyes, you see pain All these scars on my body, covered it with diamond chains Hundred K in cash, I could act an ass with Johnny Dang You know I love to spaz, I'm thumbing through the racks, I do my thing Living life fast, still can't crash, I'm in my own lane I came from the bottom, it's only right they let me touch the top And how I'm saving up this bread, you would have thought it's 'bout to rot They gave my ni**a twenty-five, he don't never watch the clock Rather beat on people's kids and do his time in the box He forgot how to feel, but he know my love real And he know I'll spend my last just to see him on a appeal [Chorus] I feel like ni**as ain't as real as me So I'm protecting my energy I've been talked down on by family So nowadays, we don't speak like we enemies Look in my eyes, see I've been crossed before They hurt him bad, so bad he could feel it in his soul
