GOOD ENERGY ONLY — 90s BOOM-BAP FLIP [INTRO — VINYL CRACKLE / SPOKEN] Yeah… SILL-E. Sometimes you gotta walk through the mud without letting the mud get in your soul. You know what I mean? I don’t hate nobody. I just protect my energy. Good energy only. [HOOK — GRITTY SOUL SAMPLE] Good energy only, keep the poison outside, I done stared at the storm with my head held high. Ain’t no room for the hate, ain’t no room for the lies, I got God in my heart and some fire in my eyes. Good energy only, let the bad vibes fade, Every scar on my soul is a debt that I paid. If you come with the love, then you welcome to stay, If you come with the darkness— Get the hell out my way. [VERSE 1] I came from the bottom where the lessons were rough, Where you learn real quick that enough is enough. Had to separate myself from the snakes in the grass, ‘Cause sometimes moving forward means you’re leaving the past. I ain’t mad at the people who abandoned the mission, Some departures are divine intervention. I was looking for answers, found ’em deep in reflection, God gave me direction when I needed correction. Now I move with intention, every step got meaning, Can’t afford bad energy when the dream still breathing. They can talk behind my back, let ‘em talk if they choose, I’m too busy making something they can never undo. See, peace ain’t weakness, it’s strength under pressure, Real wealth ain’t money, it’s knowing you’re blessed, bruh. I don’t need ten friends, I need one that’s sincere, And I’d rather walk alone than be surrounded by fear. [HOOK] Good energy only, keep the poison outside, I done stared at the storm with my head held high. Ain’t no room for the hate, ain’t no room for the lies, I got God in my heart and some fire in my eyes. Good energy only, let the bad vibes fade, Every scar on my soul is a debt that I paid. If you come with the love, then you welcome to stay, If you come with the darkness— Get the hell out my way. [VERSE 2 — GRITTY FREESTYLE / DOUBLE-TIME MOMENTS] Look— I been in the trenches with a heart full of questions, Life gave me lessons disguised as aggression. Had to learn discernment, everybody ain’t family, Some’ll shake your hand while they’re secretly damaging. I don’t need revenge, that’s a bill I won’t pay, Let karma do the driving, I’m out of her way. I got too much on my plate, too much work in my brain, Too much fire in my chest to be feeding your flame. See, negativity knocking? I don’t answer the door. I done been that person— I ain’t that anymore. Had pain in the basement, dreams on the ceiling, Turned wounds into words, now the whole room feeling. Every bar got a heartbeat, every rhyme got a scar, I was searching for the light— Found out I carried a spark. Wait— I came from the pressure, Pressure made diamonds, I came from the silence, Silence made violence— Not in my hands, But inside of my mind, Had to wrestle with myself Just to finally find That the enemy sometimes Ain’t the man outside— It’s the voice in your head Saying, “You ain’t gonna rise.” Well, rise. Ten toes down with my eyes on the prize, God gave me breath, so I’m using my time. I don’t throw dirt, I plant seeds in the ground, Let my blessings grow while the hate dies down. You can keep your drama, your gossip, your schemes, I’m protecting my peace while I’m chasing my dreams. And if you don’t understand, that’s perfectly fine— You don’t gotta walk my road… Just don’t walk mine. [BRIDGE — CHOPPED SOUL SAMPLE] I lost some people… I found myself. I lost some things… I found my faith. I lost my way… God gave me direction. Sometimes losing is how you learn what you really needed. [FINAL HOOK — BIGGER DRUMS] Good energy only, keep the poison outside, I done stared at the storm with my head held high. Ain’t no room for the hate, ain’t no room for the lies, I got God in my heart and some fire in my eyes. Good energy only, let the bad vibes fade, Every scar on my soul is a debt that I paid. If you come with the love, then you welcome to stay, If you come with the darkness— Get the hell out my way. [OUTRO — SPOKEN] Don’t confuse peace with weakness. Don’t confuse silence with fear. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do… is keep walking. SILL-E. Good energy only.
