[Verse 1]
They loved me when I was down bad,
Clappin’ for me when I had no bag.
But now I’m risin’ like the sun at dawn,
They throwin’ shade ‘cause I’m movin' on.
Used to say “you got potential, bro,”
Now it’s cold stares when I start to grow.
Same ones who prayed that I'd win,
Are hopin’ now that I fold again.
[Pre-Chorus]
I see through the fake cheers,
Smiles hidein’ deep fears.
Truth is heavy, but I wear it well,
Not everybody wanna see you excel.
[Chorus]
Not everybody can handle your next level,
Some only love you when you're under the pressure.
Soon as you rise, they switch like the weather,
Enemies in disguise, now they movin' clever.
They don’t want peace, they want control,
Can’t take it when you got a brighter soul.
But I’m gone keep climbin', I won't settle—
Not everybody can handle your next level.
[Verse 2]
I thought we was fam, now I see the truth,
You ain't clappin’ now that I got proof.
Jealousy louder than a scream,
Silent when I chase the dream.
They loved me when I needed help,
But hate it when I help myself.
Some people love you 'cause you're under them,
But if you pass ‘em, you can’t be friends.
[Bridge]
They want you boxed in, small and tame,
You grow too big, now you the one to blame.
Their love was a leash, now you off the chain,
They don’t clap for growth, just your pain.
[Chorus]
Not everybody can handle your next level,
Some only love you when you're under the pressure.
Soon as you rise, they switch like the weather,
Enemies in disguise, now they movin' clever.
They don’t want peace, they want control,
Can’t take it when you got a brighter soul.
But I’m gone keep climbin', I won't settle—
Not everybody can handle your next level.
[Outro]
So I move in silence, vision loud,
Don’t need approval from the crowd.
Let ‘em hate, I know my worth,
They fear the fire ‘cause they see the rebirth.
[Male Vocal]
