Yeah, ayy, yeah, ayy, yeah, ayy, ayy
Yeah, ayy, yeah, ayy, yeah, ayy, ayy
Yeah, ayy, yeah, ayy, yeah, ayy, ayy
Yeah, ayy, pulled up to the concert, in the moshpit, they be ripping my tee
Yeah, if you in the moshpit, you better punch everything you see
She say she never took a pill, she say she want some ecstasy
And I'm geeked, geeked, geeked
I got weed, pills, and lean
Poured a four, popped a bean
Bitch, I′m high, I'm off three
And I rolled up some weed
Metro Bloomin got me geeked
Your weed came with some seeds
I'm the young nigga that′s fly as fuck
I′m the young nigga that's high as fuck
I′m the young nigga with all the drugs
Yeah, I don't need a plug
Your bitch on my dick, she say she need a hug
I fucked the bitch, I ain′t teasing her
I showed her them racks and now she leaving you
That broke shit wasn't pleasing her
Ha, ha, ha, ha
I just laugh at these hoes
Ho, ho, ho, ho
′Cause I know they on go
Go, go, go, go
All you need is some dough
Dough, dough, dough, dough
Dough, dough, dough, dough
Yeah, ayy, pulled up to the concert, in the moshpit, they be ripping my tee
Yeah, if you in the moshpit you better punch everything you see
She say she never took a pill, she say she want some ecstasy
Remember I couldn't afford a meal, now I got all these racks on me, me, me
And I'm geeked, geeked, geeked
I got weed, pills, and lean
Poured a four, popped a bean
Bitch, I′m high, I′m off three
And I rolled up some weed
Metro Bloomin got me geeked
Your weed came with some seeds
Ken Car$on's song "Teenager Rager" is an intense snapshot of a young person's life full of drugs, parties, and wild concerts. The opening lines repeat a hypnotic chant with the repetition of "ayy" as if to signal that we're entering a headspace of excess and abandon. The first verse tells us that the singer has arrived at a concert and is in the moshpit. The visceral image of others tearing his t-shirt only adds to the sense of chaos and danger. The second line of the verse seems to encourage violence in the moshpit, a reckless and alarming sentiment. The next few lines describe a girl who wants to try ecstasy, and the singer's amazement at his newfound wealth. The chorus reinforces the message that the singer is quite literally high on a variety of substances.
The second verse continues to describe the singer's life full of drugs and women. The lines "I'm the young nigga that's fly as fuck/I'm the young nigga that's high as fuck" reinforce his extreme sense of self-confidence and the importance of being on top (literally and figuratively). He also mentions how he doesn't need a drug dealer, as he has all the drugs he needs. The reference to doing drugs with Metro Bloomin, a well-known producer, suggests that the singer is mingling with music industry insiders. The final lines reinforce his disdain for women who value money over love and his desire to remain wealthy.
Overall, "Teenager Rager" is a grim and unapologetic picture of a young person's life engulfed in drug addiction, excess, and debauchery. The lyrics don't appear to glorify these actions, but rather invite us to experience the consequences of such a lifestyle. It is a cautionary tale of the dangers of losing oneself to addiction and the emptiness that can result.
