I feel like she's trying to say when she succeeded herself (possibly going against what other people told her or believed she could do) and some people naturally got jealous/envious and didn't hide it well, and now she feels vindicated & figures hey if they're mad me at for succeeding, that's not cool, I'll bust out this rhyme about it... But I also get the sense she doesn't really wanna play that game anymore.
So all in all, its a song. Sometimes its easier to express certain things through music/writing/art... stuff that words don't quite do just or for stuff want to keep to yourself or veiled in someway. It can help soften the blow.
