Lyrics
Why must haters always do the most? (ooh)
Expressing frustration with the exaggerated actions of haters.
It be the ones you least expect can't handle ya shine up close (yeah yeah, yeah)
Noticing that those least expected are unable to handle the success or brightness of the individual.
Silly haters always doing extra
Labeling haters as foolish for their unnecessary actions.
They only throw shade when they can't handle ya shine
Stating that haters throw shade when they cannot cope with the person's success or brilliance.
They only throw shade when they can't handle ya shine
Reiteration of the idea that shade is thrown when others can't handle the person's success.
Always knew I'd have this life one day when I grow up
Expressing a belief in achieving a successful life in the future.
As a youngin' ain't have nothing, had to get my glow up
Reflecting on a challenging past and the need to improve oneself.
Mama gotta see her son rise, it dawned on me, then I rose up
Highlighting the realization of the importance of personal growth for the sake of family.
I gotta be the guiding light cause mine ain't ever show up
Taking on the responsibility of being a positive influence due to the absence of guidance.
Aye, tunnel vision, angels watching me from through the gates
Emphasizing a focused approach with the belief in spiritual protection.
Dark decisions come to light and show me who was fake
Acknowledging that difficult choices reveal true intentions of others.
Through hearsay, you hear shade til your ears ache
Describing the experience of hearing negative comments until it becomes painful.
And then it's all on the next move you make
Linking the impact of shade to the decisions one makes in response.
Fuck a fake friend, your facade see through (aye)
Rejecting insincere friends, recognizing their false appearances.
When we eye to eye, you'll probably lie to me too (ugh)
Distrust in face-to-face interactions due to the expectation of lies.
I was blinded til the curtains let me peek through
Overcoming ignorance and gaining insight into the truth.
Now I'm reminded to double check even when it seems true
Stressing the importance of verification even in seemingly true situations.
Turn on my brights through the gloomy days
Metaphorically using car lights to navigate through difficult times.
Heard he threw the shade cause he too scared to remove the hate
Suggesting that haters throw shade out of fear and an inability to remove negativity.
And communicate, so there's really nothing to debate
Asserting that communication is hindered by the hater's reluctance to address issues.
You hallucinating thinking that we can rejuvenate
Dismissing the possibility of revitalizing a strained relationship with a hater.
You's a snake
Directly labeling someone as deceitful and untrustworthy.
Why must haters always do the most? (ooh)
Reiteration of frustration with exaggerated actions of haters.
It be the ones you least expect can't handle ya shine up close (yeah yeah, yeah)
Repeating the idea that unexpected individuals struggle with the success of others.
Silly haters always doing extra
Reiterating the perception of haters engaging in unnecessary actions.
They only throw shade when they can't handle ya shine
Restating that shade is thrown when someone can't handle the person's success.
They only throw shade when they can't handle ya shine
Final repetition of the notion that shade is thrown when others cannot handle one's success.
