J-A-Y!
Uh, I'm protecting my peace (Protecting my peace!)
I'm steady stepping for niggas, but they ain't stepping for me (Stepping for me!)
I keep it real with my niggas, that's how I expect them to be (Expect them to be!)
You never come through for a nigga, but still be expecting from me (Expecting from me!)
Uh, I'm protecting my peace (Protecting my peace!)
I'm always protecting my peace (Protecting my peace!)
I'll cut you off bout protecting my peace
I do not have time for these hoes (Nope!)
I'm tryna cash out on a Patek Philippe (Patek Philippe!)
You know my body, just check my physique (Check my physique!)
Niggas was watching me starve
Now these niggas gone watch how I eat (Watch how I eat)
But that shit left me scarred
I've cut off people I thought was for me (I thought was for me!)
They thought that I needed em
So fuck it, I guess down the road we'll see (I guess we gone see)
This shit get colossal like titans
I beast on these beats like I'm rocking with Zeke
I done put way too much time in this shit
For you to think you getting something for free (Nah!)
I'm the one that you want to be
That stick on me, you won't take none from me (Never!)
Nigga I'm standing on business regardless
No matter who you put in front of me (Front of me!)
Uh, I'm protecting my peace (Protecting my peace!)
I'm steady stepping for niggas, but they ain't stepping for me
(They ain't stepping for me!)
I keep it real with my niggas, that's how I expect them to be (Expect them to be!)
You never come through for a nigga
But still be expecting from me (Be expecting from me!)
Uh, I'm protecting my peace (Protecting my peace, peace)
I'm always protecting my peace (Protecting my peace!)
I'll cut you off bout protecting my peace
I do not have time for these hoes
I'm tryna cash out on a Patek Philippe (Patek Philippe!)
Hahaha

Uh-uh




Aye, aye, aye, okay!
Just like Chop said, "I'm no killer, but I'm on the brink nigga"
