Ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy
Yeah, uh, ayy, uh, ayy, uh, ayy
Party like itβ²s Project X
Got weed, got pills, got lean, got sex
She say, "Ken, boy, you fuck me the best"
And her best friend like, "Do me next"
Right to my dawg like we playinβ² fetch
I ain't worried 'bout a bitch β²cause Iβ²m the catch
After fuckin' with me, then bitch, who next?
Who next? Yeah
Who next? Yeah
Who next? Yeah
Who next? Yeah
Who you fuckinβ² with next after fuckin' with me?
According to you, Iβ²m the B-E-S-T
Oops, I mean, according to me
Accordin' to me, Iβ²m at my best off a bean
I'm rollin' up weed, Iβ²m pouring up lean
I get high as fuck, Iβ²m on cloud 13
If I spot a opp, I'm shootinβ² the scene
Bitch, I got good aim, I don't need a beam
And I make it rain, bullets on your team
I donβ²t miss shit, boy, I hit everything
I hit your bitch, boy, I make that ho sing
Know you a bitch, boy, you ain't on nothing
Yeah, I know you a bitch and you ainβ²t gon' do shit
If she ain't fuckinβ² with me, then who she fuckinβ² with?
Shit, I don't know, I ainβ²t worried 'bout it
I pull up to the party, they like, "Who is this?"
Party like itβ²s Project X
Got weed, got pills, got lean, got sex
She say, "Ken, boy, you fuck me the best"
And her best friend like, "Do me next"
But no, I'ma pass that ho like a test
Right to my dawg like we playinβ² fetch
I ain't worried 'bout a bitch β²cause Iβ²m the catch
After fuckin' with me, then bitch, who next?
Who next? Yeah
Who next? Yeah
Who next? Yeah
Who next? Yeah
In Ken Car$on's song "Who's Next," the lyrics depict a wild party atmosphere reminiscent of the movie "Project X." The singer describes the various substances and activities present at the party, including weed, pills, lean (a drink containing codeine and promethazine), and sex. A girl approaches the singer, stating that he is the best she has ever had, and her friend expresses interest in being with him next. However, the singer rejects the offer, passing the girl to his friend as if he were throwing a ball. The singer emphasizes that he is not concerned about other girls because he believes he is the best catch. He questions who the girl will be with next now that she is done with him.
The lyrics portray a sense of hedonism and detachment from emotional attachments. The singer views himself as superior, boasting about his skills and dismissing other men. He mentions being under the influence of drugs, like rolling up weed and pouring up lean, which suggests that his behavior may be influenced by intoxication. The lyrics also imply a willingness to engage in violence, with lines about shooting and not missing targets.
Overall, "Who's Next" depicts a party scene filled with substance use, casual sexual encounters, and a sense of arrogance and disinterest in long-term relationships. The singer's inflated self-perception creates a theme of competition and the question of who will be the next person to experience his charms.
