Picky

Being “picky” isn’t about acting better than people, it’s about protecting the peace you fought hard to build. What’s one thing you’ve become more careful with: your energy, your time, your trust, or your heart?

What line hit you the hardest in “Picky”? Mine is: “Peace like this? It’s hard to find.”

If you’ve ever rebuilt yourself and started guarding your peace differently after that, this song was written for you. Drop a 🖤 if you feel it.

picky

[Instrumental intro]

Ooh, yeah, yeah

I’m just picky, yeah

[Verse]

If you knew what it took to build my peace

You’d understand why I’m careful who I let in these streets

Brick by brick, I rebuilt from the ground

Now I’m standing tall, not looking around

It took time, took strength, took everything I had

Through the highs and the lows, the good and the bad

Now I guard my space, protect what’s mine

'Cause peace like this? It’s hard to find

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m picky ‘bout my energy, picky ‘bout my crew

Only let the real ones through

I’m picky with the vibes I keep

Cause not everyone deserves a seat

[Chorus]

I’m picky, yeah, gotta guard my heart

Only let in love, keep out the dark

I’m picky, yeah, careful with my time

My peace is golden, don’t cross that line

[Break]

[Verse 2]

It took years to heal, to find my way

Now I’m shining bright, no more cloudy days

I’m stronger now, I know my worth

Not just anyone can share my turf

I’ve been through storms, I’ve seen it all

But I stood my ground, refused to fall

So now I’m cautious, yeah, I take my time

Protecting my peace, that’s my only crime

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m picky ‘bout my energy, picky ‘bout my crew

Only let the real ones through

I’m picky with the vibes I keep

'Cause not everyone deserves a seat

[Chorus]

I’m picky, yeah, gotta guard my heart

Only let in love, keep out the dark

I’m picky, yeah, careful with my time

My peace is golden, don’t cross that line

[Post-Chorus]

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I’m picky, I’m picky, yeah

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]

I’ve come too far to let just anyone stay

You gotta bring light if you wanna stay

I won’t settle, no, I know what I need

Peace and happiness, that’s how I lead

I’m not being cold, I’m just protecting my soul

Gotta keep it safe, that’s my ultimate goal

If you understand, then you know why

I’m picky ‘bout who gets to ride or die

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m picky ‘bout my energy, picky ‘bout my crew

Only let the real ones through

I’m picky with the vibes I keep

'Cause not everyone deserves a seat

[Chorus]

I’m picky, yeah, gotta guard my heart

Only let in love, keep out the dark

I’m picky, yeah, careful with my time

My peace is golden, don’t cross that line

[Outro]

I’m picky, yeah, that’s just who I am

Building my peace, stickin’ to the plan

I’m picky, yeah, I’m holding tight

To everything that makes my life feel right

[Refrain]

I’m picky, I’m picky, yeah

[End]
