Enemies Lyrics – Offset

Enemies Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Producer tag letting us know C.N.O.T.E made the beat.

[Chorus]
Here Offset is flexing his success. He’s saying he buys his cars outright, no rentals, and rocks flawless diamonds. People keep trying to grab a piece of his shine because they see his wins. He admits life dealt him some tough hands, but he played them smart. The real threat isn’t enemies—he can handle those—it’s fake friends he’s worried about.

[Verse 1]
Offset paints a picture of living rich while dealing with fake energy around him. He spends big on cologne and other luxuries but points out how he knows there’s jealousy and betrayal in the air. He compares relationships and cars, showing he has options in both, and calls out others who self-destruct while he stays sharp and successful. His V12 engine, iced-out watches, and designer lifestyle show his elevated status. Still, he’s open about his vices, like pills, and how they mix with his fast life. He describes a woman who matches his taste for luxury and how he spoils her without caring about the cost. Then, he flips back to his grind, reminding us he built wealth from his city and represents being hood rich. He’s determined to make people feel his presence, prepared to protect what’s his, and doesn’t plan on letting anything stop him. The bright lights of fame might tempt him, but he’s aware of it, ready to take control if the world doesn’t hand it to him.

[Verse 2]
Offset keeps showing how fast his success came. One night he’s wearing a luxury AP watch, the next he’s sipping expensive drinks, partying, and living in excess. He talks about drügs, women, and constant attention, showing both the thrill and chaos of his lifestyle. His wealth is so huge that even at the bank, he’s on a first-name basis. He’s too fresh to settle for anything basic and stays ahead with both new and old money. The production, handled by C.N.O.T.E, hits hard like crack in the ’80s, making his music feel addictive. He knows people want to be him, some even laugh, but it doesn’t matter—he’s way ahead, putting his wins right in their faces. Cruising in a Maybach, he makes it clear he’s on another level. To top it off, he reminds everyone that even women vouch for his greatness, underlining the respect he commands in his world.

[Chorus]
Offset doubles down on his lifestyle again—buying cars outright, rocking perfect diamonds, and standing strong while everyone wants a piece of what he has. He reminds us that he didn’t cheat the system; he simply worked with the hand life gave him and still came out on top. What he really prays for is protection from fake friends, not enemies.

[Outro]
The closing lines hit like a warning. Offset keeps repeating that enemies are easy to handle—it’s the friends that can secretly harm you. By asking for protection from those close to him, he’s pointing out that betrayal hurts more when it comes from people you trust. The outro circles back to his biggest theme: wealth and fame bring snakes disguised as friends.
