When you tell someone to "keep that same energy" or "KTSE" It means keep that vibe/momentum you coming at someone with. To tell someone to act the way you acting when you see the person again. To tell someone to view you the same way as you did to begin with.

Keep that same energy or KTSE essentially means that you would like for another individual to continue to act (in terms of attitude, in relation to actions) the way they were acting during a previous encounter.
Jimmy *talking to Steve*: Bro, if I fuckin' see Tommy near my girl again, he's getting his ass beat.
*Steve is a snitch ass bitch and tells Tommy of this encounter he had with Jimmy*
Tommy *talking to Jimmy*: Jimmy, keep that same energy you had when you were talking to Steve. I'll see you when class gets out.
If Jimmy were to engage in a physical altercation with Tommy, he would have kept the same energy. If Jimmy bitched out (the more likely of the two options, his name is Jimmy), he would not have kept the same energy.

An Ozark verb meaning to be cautious. Conservative. Modest. Taken from a phrase used while skinny dipping in a willow bordered creek.
