[Intro]

(whisper…)
They only climb…
when you hold the ladder up…
(cloud drift…)
But Jesus held me…
when nobody showed up…
(hmmm…)

⸻

[Verse 1]

I was stuck in the glow of a pill,
heart numb, vision still,
devils in my bloodstream just tryna get a meal.
People said brother but they used me for the climb,
had their foot on my shoulders while they smiled in my eyes.

Told me it was Jesus but they lied with they chest,
it was all self-praise, they just hid it in a vest.
Took my pain, used my story like a key to they fame,
but when I fell off, they were first to say my name.

Rumors like weed smoke when the wind hit quick,
mocked me in private, made jokes real slick.
Said I was the one broken… but look at ’em now —
they need someone beneath just to feel that crown.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

I was holdin’ up ladders for people who never cared,
while my soul was collapsing, they just stood there and stared.
But the One who redeemed me never lifted a blade —
He lifted me, even when I couldn’t lift my own name.
(hush…)

⸻

[Chorus]

Läddërs…
Everybody climbin’ when they see your back strong…
Läddërs…
They don’t want to grow — they just want you to hold on.
Läddërs…
They talk about love, but the actions all wrong…
Läddërs…
But Jesus never switched, He been solid all along.

(cloud drift…)
I ain’t fallin’, I ain’t foldin’, I ain’t breakin’ no more…
Läddërs…
God carried me higher when they pushed me to the floor.

⸻

[Verse 2]

They kicked me out the cult, called it “saving my soul,”
but it really was fear — they’d lose control.
Took my pain to the pulpit, preached it like a joke,
while inside they were rotting from the lies they spoke.

I was drowning, but Jesus never let me sink,
washed my eyes with the truth I was scared to think.
Now my faith real strong, heart clean like dawn,
I’m closer to the Lord than I’ve ever been on.

People like them never rise on their own,
they stand on your spine just to sit on a throne.
But I crawled from the rubble, wiped the dust off my sleeve,
now it’s Holy Ghost breath every time that I breathe.

⸻

[Bridge]

(soft echo…)
They said I’d never change… (never…)
They said I’d never heal… (never…)
But I’m living proof of the grace that’s real…
And the ones that mocked
can’t touch what He sealed.
(still…)

⸻

[Chorus]

Läddërs…
Everybody climbin’ when they see your back strong…
Läddërs…
They don’t want to grow — they just want you to hold on.
Läddërs…
They talk about love, but the actions all wrong…
Läddërs…
But Jesus never switched, He been solid all along.

I ain’t fallin’, I ain’t foldin’, I ain’t breakin’ no more…
Läddërs…
God carried me higher when they pushed me to the floor.

⸻

[Outro]

So let ’em climb somewhere else…
I’m not your platform, I’m His vessel.
No more ladders on my back…
just the wings He gave me.
(quiet…)
Läddërs fade…
but Jesus stays.
