Karma is running around (around it)
Taking shots all around (around it)
You hate you drown (drown)
You swim you drown (drown)
Karma is running around (around it)
Taking shots all around (around it)

I be ballin like a laker
If your girl comes umma take her
I don't know where to place her
Why you being such a hater

Im reloaded like a shot gun
My bars take shots like one
I spit faster than a python
Make hits call me Mike Tyson

Umma be drippin in silence
Niggas are drippin in violence
Umma be better than better
Putting niggas under pressure
Enter the game with pleasure
Cause you know I'm better

And I drip and I flip and I dip and I whip
And I sauce, whats the cost
Umma boss never loss
Drip with voss

Why you gotta be so irrelevant?
Everybody wanna get it for the benefit
Tryna get a nigga run with evidence
I am the element
I am the sediment
I am the president
I am the resident
CAUSE...

Swim (swim) drown (drown)
Hate (hate) drown (drown)
Spill lean on the ground
Swim Drown (drown)
Hate (hate) drown aye
Swim aye drown

You hate you drown (drown)

Karma is running around (around it)
Taking shots all around (around it)
You hate you drown (drown)
You swim you drown (drown)
Karma is running around (around it)
Taking shots all around (around it)

I'm the real goon call me Tyson
Pick the mic up n I ball (baller)
Heard you mad cause I exist
Got discovered (Why you mad sis?)
Hits are ruthless, don't dispute this
Like the world in 38, these bitches drowning
Now they hating, cause they be clowning
And I be counting
LEVELS!

Never thought I had it
But I had to go and get it
Now I'm tryna make it
Why you tryna take it
But they couldn't do it
Cause they never had it

See that addict
Causing conflict
Oh nah she just got a convict
That's a system addict
Dick buying hoes
If I had one you be topping it

My lane aint made for everybody
Sidewalks for these roaches
Bone these niggas with expensive taste
My swag is like Versace
And I'm feasting like a lion
I'm elevated
(Bitch you drowning)
I'm elevated
(Bitch you drowning)
I'm elevated
(Bitch you drowning)

Swim (swim) drown (drown)
Hate (hate) drown (drown)
Spill lean on the ground
Swim Drown (drown)

You swim you drown (drown)
Karma is running around (around it)
Taking shots all around (around it)
You hate you drown (drown)
You swim you drown (drown)




Karma is running around (around it)
Taking shots all around (around it)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of I.N.D.'s song "The Next Level" may seem repetitive at first glance, but they carry a powerful message about the consequences of hate and karma. The chorus repeats the lines "Swim drown, hate drown" to emphasize that both positivity and negativity can have a lasting impact on a person's life. The verses touch on themes of success, envy, and the importance of staying true to oneself.


In the first verse, I.N.D. boasts about his skills as a rapper and his ability to attract attention from women. He taunts those who hate him, implying that their jealousy only drives them to their own demise. The second verse continues this theme with metaphors comparing I.N.D.'s rapping to a shotgun and a python, which serve to emphasize his own power and superiority over his foes.


The repetition of "Swim drown, hate drown" in the chorus and bridge serves as a warning to listeners about the importance of keeping their priorities straight. Karma is a force to be reckoned with, and those who focus on hate and negativity may ultimately drown in their own negative energy. Overall, I.N.D.'s lyrics are a call to focus on positivity and success, rather than dwelling on envy and hatred.

SM bought this song and remake it and turn into Aespa's song. Maybe that's why I felt familiar when I hear to Aespa's Next Level. I actually heard it from Fast and Furious 😑
