Pa Salieu - Energy ft. Mahalia

[Verse 1: Pa Salieu]
Some brudders give in, some make it out
Some ain't got the heart and some be holdin' spirit
Some do it for the livin', most do it for clout
Some do it for the money, the dollar, the pound
Some get it on their own, leech on their own
For the love of money, seen niggas turn on their own
They told me I can't do it, that it don't sense
You switch too fast, it's either the grave or a pen
(They told me I can't do it, that it don't sense)
(You switch too fast, it's either the grave or a pen)
Yeah

[Chorus: Pa Salieu]
Why you keep wastin' your energy?
Never let them draw out the energy
They just want you fall 'cause their jealousy
Yeah, protect your energy
Why you keep wastin' your energy?
Never let them draw out the energy
They just want you fall 'cause their jealousy
Protect your energy (Yeah)
Protect your energy (Uh)
Protect the energy
They just want you fall 'cause their jealousy
Protect your energy

[Verse 2: Pa Salieu]
Crown on my head, I was born shinin'
They put us in the dirt so we keep dyin'
I died a hundred times and I keep fightin'
'Cause you doin' your people shaky and I'm still ridin'
Been anti with it and I was raised different
Never let no pussy in this world try pressure hold
Old spirit, diligent spirit
I'm onto everybody who try take 'way my spirit
(Old spirit, diligent spirit)
(Who Jah bless nobody can hold back)

[Chorus: Pa Salieu]
Why you keep wastin' your energy?
Never let them draw out the energy
They just want you fall 'cause their jealousy
Yeah, protect your energy
Why you keep wastin' your energy?
Never let them draw out the energy
They just want you fall 'cause their jealousy
Protect your energy (Yeah)
Protect your energy (Uh)
Protect the energy
They just want you fall 'cause their jealousy
Protect your energy

[Bridge: Mahlia]
Don't take too much time (Too much time)
Gotta run to the line (Line)
Yeah, you gotta run and protest if they come
They better respect, protect you
Protect your energy too, baby, I

[Chorus: Pa Salieu & Mahalia]
Why you keep wastin' your energy? (Energy)
Never let them blow out the energy (Oh, no, no, no, energy)
They just want you fall 'cause their jealousy (Jealousy, jealousy, yeah)
Yeah, protect your energy
Why you keep wastin' your energy? (Energy)
Never let them draw out the energy (Energy, oh, yeah)
They just want you fall 'cause their jealousy (Jealousy)
(They just want you fall 'cause their jealousy, yeah, yeah)
Protect your energy (Protect your energy)
Protect your energy (Protect your energy, yeah, yeah)
Protect the energy (Protect the energy)
They just want you fall 'cause their jealousy (Jealousy)
Protect your energy
