Enemies (feat. DaBaby)

Post Malone's 'Enemies' featuring DaBaby is a candid reflection on the changes in personal relationships that often accompany fame and success. The song delves into the theme of betrayal and the transformation of friends into enemies. Post Malone expresses a sense of loss and disappointment as those he once considered close have turned against him, likely due to jealousy or a change in his financial status. The repeated line 'Used to have friends, now I got enemies' underscores the central message of the song: the impact of success on personal relationships and the isolation that can result.

The lyrics also touch on the fickleness of those around him, suggesting that his rise to fame has revealed the true colors of people he once trusted. The mention of 'Money tend to show all they tendencies' implies that financial gain can lead to the exposure of people's true intentions, often leading to the realization that those intentions are self-serving. Post Malone's tone is one of resignation but also empowerment, as he acknowledges the negative aspects of his journey while also reveling in his achievements, as seen in lines like 'Laughin’ to the bank like ha ha ha.'

DaBaby's verse adds another layer to the song, emphasizing the theme of betrayal and the need for 'better energy.' His lyrics speak to the experience of being let down by those he's tried to support, and the realization that success can bring out the worst in people. The metaphor 'Friends are like the autumn, every year they leavin'' vividly illustrates the seasonal and temporary nature of these relationships. Overall, 'Enemies' is a raw portrayal of the darker side of fame, where success can lead to isolation and the need to reevaluate one's circle of trust.
