Energy
Tinashe Feat. Juicy J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been running the game
Said I've been stuck on your mind
Baby, don't play
We love Saturday nights
Where they're making it rain
In the deep of the night
Storm is coming my way
Hit me up, ready to roll
Still early out, we're still good to go
Feeling right, I'm feeling right
Come here tonight, come here tonight
Baby, hit me like lightning
Feel my body flowing into me
Gonna feel it inside me
Light me up, you give me energy
I'm feeling right, come here tonight
Let your mind fly
Taking this shit how I like
It's been a sweet, sweet life
Gonna never let you go
Never wanna see you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
I'll never believe a thing you say
But you know I like it anyway
Hit me up, ready to roll
Still early out, we're still good to go
Feeling right, I'm feeling right
Come here tonight, come here tonight
Baby, hit me like lightning
Feel my body flowing into me
Gonna feel it inside me
Light me up, you give me energy
I'm feeling right, come here tonight
She showed up in a trench coat
With nothing on underneath that
I cut her up like a chainsaw
And lay that wood like a lumberjack
That grade A, keep you coming back
She 'bout that action, didn't come to chat
When the lights go out, we go back to back
Sweating like we've been running laps
We doing jumping jacks, we doing yoga
She exercise, she eat yogurt
She read books and watch Oprah
I let her ride me, I'm her chauffeur
She wine fine, she classy
She rock designer clothes, drive foreign cars
My private movie star
She put on a show and we record it all
And ain't nobody gotta know our business
Tell them haters go mind they own
We stay shining on 'em, no rhinestone
We ride private jets and switch timezones
Your friends jealous, don't get it twisted
Ain't no secret, they in their feelings
But I bet they'd give up both kidneys
If they could be in your position
Hit me up, ready to roll
Still early out, we're still good to go
Feeling right, I'm feeling right
Come here tonight, come here tonight
Baby, hit me like lightning
Feel my body flowing into me
Gonna feel it inside me
Light me up, you give me energy
I'm feeling right, come here tonight
In "Energy," Tinashe sings about a night out with her lover. She acknowledges that she has been hesitant and shy, while her partner has been the one taking control of the situation. The lyrics suggest that they have been thinking about each other a lot and are finally ready to be together. Tinashe describes their ideal night out, where they go to a club and get lost in the music, surrounded by a storm of energy. The chorus emphasizes the electrifying effect that her lover has on her, likening it to a bolt of lightning and giving her the energy to feel alive.
One interesting aspect of the song is the interlude from Juicy J, which adds a different perspective to the love story. He raps about his own experience with his girlfriend, describing her as classy and capable of doing rigorous activities like yoga and exercise. He also hints at their hedonistic pursuits, recording their intimate moments and keeping their private life a secret from others. This interlude provides a contrast to the vulnerable nature of Tinashe's verses, hinting at a more adventurous and daring side to the love they share.

I've been playing so shy
I've been acting timid and holding back
You've been running the game
You've been in control and making the moves
Said I've been stuck on your mind
You've been thinking about me a lot
Baby, don't play
Don't tease or act nonchalant
We love Saturday nights
We enjoy going out on weekends
Where they're making it rain
Where money is being thrown and spent extravagantly
In the deep of the night
Late at night
Storm is coming my way
Something intense or thrilling is about to happen for me
Hit me up, ready to roll
Contact me and let's go out and have a good time
Still early out, we're still good to go
It's not too late, we still have time to hang out
Feeling right, I'm feeling right
I'm feeling good and in the right state of mind
Come here tonight, come here tonight
Meet up with me and spend the night together
Baby, hit me like lightning
Excite me intensely
Feel my body flowing into me
Feel my body moving and reacting to your energy
Gonna feel it inside me
Experience a physical and emotional sensation
Light me up, you give me energy
You invigorate and excite me
Let your mind fly
Free your thoughts and explore your desires
Taking this shit how I like
Living life on my own terms
It's been a sweet, sweet life
Life has been good to me
Gonna never let you go
I never want to lose you
Never wanna see you cry
I don't want you to feel upset or hurt
Never gonna say goodbye
I never want to end our relationship
I'll never believe a thing you say
I know you may say things you don't mean or exaggerate
But you know I like it anyway
I enjoy the excitement and intensity of our relationship
She showed up in a trench coat
A woman arrived dressed in a provocative manner
With nothing on underneath that
She wasn't wearing any clothes underneath her coat
I cut her up like a chainsaw
I had intense and rough sex with her
And lay that wood like a lumberjack
I had vigorous and hard sex with her
That grade A, keep you coming back
She is of high quality and desirable
She 'bout that action, didn't come to chat
She's not here for conversation, she's here for physical activity
When the lights go out, we go back to back
When it's dark, we engage in sexual activity
Sweating like we've been running laps
We're exerting ourselves physically and intensely
We doing jumping jacks, we doing yoga
We're engaging in various kinds of exercise
She exercise, she eat yogurt
She takes care of her body by exercising and eating healthily
She read books and watch Oprah
She's intelligent and enjoys reading and watching TV shows
I let her ride me, I'm her chauffeur
I allow her to assume control during sex
She wine fine, she classy
She has refined taste and is sophisticated
She rock designer clothes, drive foreign cars
She has expensive taste and shows it off
My private movie star
She's like a celebrity to me
She put on a show and we record it all
We engage in sexual activity while filming it
And ain't nobody gotta know our business
Our intimate activities are private and nobody needs to be informed
Tell them haters go mind they own
Enemies should focus on their own business and not ours
We stay shining on 'em, no rhinestone
We're successful and thriving without any fake or low-quality items
We ride private jets and switch timezones
We travel in luxury and frequently change our location
Your friends jealous, don't get it twisted
Your friends are envious of what we have, but they shouldn't misunderstand our relationship
Ain't no secret, they in their feelings
It's no surprise that they feel the way they do
But I bet they'd give up both kidneys
They would go to great lengths to have what we have
If they could be in your position
If they could experience the same things you do
