Do you know the word "frenemy"?

It's a combination of "friend" and "enemy."
A frenemy is someone who acts like your friend but doesn't truly want to see you succeed.
The first time I saw people on social media saying, "Watch out for frenemies," I wondered what they meant.
But then I realized it's a word that's commonly used in places like the U.S. and Jamaica, where reggae culture runs deep. And when I looked around at my own life, I started to understand it.

Have you ever had someone who called themselves your friend, but something just didn't feel right?

Maybe they smiled at you, but deep down, you could feel they weren't really rooting for you.

They may never say it out loud, but sometimes you can sense that energy.

That's exactly what inspired these lyrics.

Maybe there's a frenemy in your life, too.

Protect your energy.
