Same Energy reflects on Che’s frustration of being previously ignored by artists and producers he wished to collaborate with, only to have them changing their tune once they see him gaining momentum and reaching success.
The song was recently used in the 2019 Netflix Series “Top Boy” (Season 4) and...
Nah, nah, nah
Keep that same energy
(No worries, no worries bro
Cool cool, keep that same energy)
[Chorus]
Didn’t wanna mess with me then
But it's different now
Didn’t ever check the DM
Didn’t listen out
Sleep on me?
Cool bro, keep that same energy
I been on my grind, did it all man, I been about
Took a little time 'cause they didn’t see the vision, wow
Now you wanna work?
Nah, nah, nah
Keep that same energy
Didn’t wanna mess with me then
But it's different now
Didn’t ever check the DM
Didn’t listen out
Sleep on me?
Cool bro, keep that same energy
Cause I been on my grind, did it all man, I been about
Took a little time 'cah they didn’t see the vision, wow
Now you wanna work?
Nah, nah, nah
Keep that same energy
[Verse 1]
Treat my emails like my WhatsApp
Before my blue ticks, they never got back
Blasting links and they would block man
I just kept persevering through the knock-backs
Now I’m on a different level (No breaks)
I handle the bars, I never miss a peddle (Show face)
Stand at the bar and they would sip and heckle
Now they call me 1, 2 watch like I can’t pick a bezel
Driven I ain't in a rental
Thought it was a joke but now they can’t laugh
Still it's funny how the half-hearts wanna transplant
Oh you wanna help? Really that's cool, but your energy smell fishy
True I got the sauce, likkle tartar, (Mwah)
Me throwing shade, what?
Woof, nah darg
I ain't got a clue, what tree you're tryna bark up
And the money ain't everything
But I got a memory like an elephant
The book ain't just for the bars blood
Nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah
[Chorus]
Cah, they didn’t wanna mess with me then
But it's different now
Didn’t ever check the DM
Didn’t listen out
Sleep on me?
Cool bro, keep that same energy (Keep it, keep it!)
I been on my grind, did it all man, I been about
Took a little time 'cah they didn’t see the vision, wow
Now you wanna work?
Nah, nah, nah
Keep that same energy
Didn’t wanna mess with me then
But it's different now
Didn’t ever check the DM
Didn’t listen out
Sleep on me?
Cool bro, keep that same energy
Cause I been on my grind, did it all man, I been about
Took a little time 'cah they didn’t see the vision, wow
Now you wanna work?
Nah, nah, nah
Keep that same energy
[Verse 2]
I grew up on the lane, now I’m in one
The girls never turned on, 'til you switch up
How you on your insta serving up looks like a full course meal?
But you wanna treat a nigga like dim-sum?
Cool
You lose some, you win some
Just don’t cross that line when the win(d) comes
Had a couple real ones saying
(Yo Che you're gonna blow, put a jacket on quick cuz)
I ain't giving no one the cold shoulder
Man I’m just bowled over by the audacity of these individuals
How you gonna treat me different 'cause of my social position
Or try and alienate me just 'cause I’m lyrical
I ain't gonna ever plateau
(Or hit my pinnacle)
Chocolate, I’m forever gateau
(You know a n*gga smooth)
I ain't even bitter dude
I just know who I’m prioritising when it's time
And the clocks been ticking you
[Chorus]
(Didn’t wanna mess with me then
But it's different now)
Didn’t ever check the DM
Didn’t listen out
Sleep on me?
Cool bro, keep that same energy
Cause I been on my grind, did it all man, I been about
Took a little time 'cah they didn’t see the vision, wow
Now you wanna work?
Nah, nah, nah
Keep that same energy
