Protect My Peace

(album: Church Clothes 4 - 2022)

[Lecrae:]
Yeah, I get my peace under my belt
I keep my Bible up on the shelf
All of my rivals hate my wealth
They want me to hate myself
I can't sleep, up at night
When I'm on ten, I don't do right
When I see twelve, I panic
I got a kill old habits
Yeah, so why would I give you my time?
I don't know what's on the line, gotta get mind right
2020 that's hindsight, I don't mean to go missing
I got vision, if I had to choose 'tween you and my peace, easy decision
Eyes closed, just sitting by this pool, far from the trenches
Not too long ago we was on trees hanging on lynches
So don't blame me if I choose to be free
Don't get mad if my phone's on DND

[Jordan L'Oreal:]
Protecting my peace, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Don't you dare hit my line
Protecting my peace, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
I won't pay you no mind
Protecting my peace
Protecting my peace
Protecting my peace

[Lecrae:]
My secret weapon, I gotta protect it
They off in my mentions, I feel disrespected
I used to get at them, but now I neglect it
They speak on my name, but I'm so unaffected
My likes and my mentions may slow up
New music may never blow up
But I feel the peace in my soul
Tell the devil he ain't got no control
He told me I should take my life and rest in peace
God said, "Follow Jesus, live in peace and rest in Me"
So I don't mean to go missing
I'm on mission
I choose between my likes and love, easy decision
Eyes closed, meditating, my garden for the stillness
Not too long ago we were stressed out they was gon' kill us
So don't blame me if I choose to be free
Don't get mad at me when I leave you on seen, ye

[Jordan L'Oreal:]
Protecting my peace, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Don't you dare hit my line
Protecting my peace, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
I won't pay you no mind
Protecting my peace
Protecting my peace
Protecting my peace
