Lyrics
I'm just protecting my peace
(Yeah, yeah)
I'm just protecting my mind
(Yeah, yeah)
I'm just protecting my peace
(Yeah, yeah)
I'm just protecting my mind
(Yeah, yeah)
You just be scrolling your feed, letting time pass from your day
Trying to find common ground so that you can have something important to say
Whether you turn on the TV or log on the internet, homie you're only advancing their mission
Listen to me, if they're giving it free, then you're gonna be paying with time and attention
They be catching us slippin', promoting division to anybody that'll listen
Sipping the Kool-Aid they giving, they got us right where they want us while they're making a killing
Condemning the realest, it's a fight to the finish
I'm just protecting my mind, while you're over there up in your feelings
Everything coming at me a hundred miles a minute, I'm trying to be calm
Everyone wants something from me but I'm running out of everything I got
Protecting my peace by any means necessary is a must (yup)
I do what I please, I walk around doing whatever I want (yup)
I know how to move, I know what to say
Know when to be cool and stay out the way
And wen they're trying to run all that game
I just act like I don't know how to play
I know how to move, I know what to say
I know when to fast, I know when to feast
If you don't be hearing me talking, just know, homie
I'm just protecting my peace
(Yeah, yeah)
I'm just protecting my mind
(Yeah, yeah)
I'm just protecting my peace
(Yeah, yeah)
I'm just protecting my mind
(Yeah, yeah)
You're supposed to be peace
You're supposed to be love
You're supposed to be who I call when I be feeling like I'm giving up
You're supposed to be hope
You're supposed to be grace
Toxicity got you feeling like you got to be disrespectful to my face
Protecting my peace, drawing a boundary right at my feet
