Ginger
Riton feat. Kah-Lo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who has the ginger?

I woke up one day and planned to get reckless
Felt myself and put on my best necklace
Posted in the group chat, who wants to faaji?
They were only down for the after party
Hmmn, my body is ready
And it's sweeting me like I have jedi jedi
Who else would be hype?
Who has the ginger?
Only this guy that I know through my sister
So I hit him up and told him let's roll
And he told me he'll pioneer the parole
Now it's a movement
The night can't waste
So I got some henny out the stash for a taste
Went out for pre-drinks, squad was chill
But as the time passed, shit got real
I mentioned the movement they said they'll come through
Now them too were ready to do the do

The whole squad turnt and the music is flames
And we don't even know anybody here's names
Can't even front, I have no ragrets
Lowkey one of my best nights yet
Oooh I'm on a big wave
Everyone around me prolly feels same
Nothing can phase me now

Who has the ginger?

Who has the ginger?

Dzammmn
What am I gonna do
I only have a three man crew plus two
A crew regardless, oya let's move
We can find a spot in the city for the groove
Get to the zone and bredda it's lit
Never seen a crowd get wild like this
The babes don't care and the guys are fit
Reckless mission is now accomplished
The whole squad turnt and the music is flames
And we don't even know anybody here's names
Can't even front, I have no ragrets
Lowkey one of my best nights yet
Oooh I'm on a big wave
Everyone around me prolly feels same
Nothing can phase me now

Who has the ginger?

Ginger, ginger, ginger, ginger....

Who has the ginger?

Who has the ginger?

Who has the ginger?





Who has the ginger?

Overall Meaning

In Riton feat. Kah-Lo's song "Ginger," the lyrics depict a fun and reckless night out with friends. The singer wakes up with the intentions of having a good time and puts on their best jewelry before reaching out to their friends in a group chat. They only find one person, a guy who they know through their sister, who has the "ginger," which is presumably the party vibes and energy needed for a great night out. As they head out for pre-drinks, more friends join in on the fun, and they all head to a party where they dance to great music and meet new people. The singer is unfazed by anything and is having the time of their life.


The song's lyrics make use of Nigerian Pidgin language, a widely spoken Creole language based on English used in West Africa. The term "faaji" in the lyrics means to party, and "bredda" is a slang term for brother. The song's catchy beat is attributed to its unique blend of electronic and afro-pop music, which draws inspiration from African musical traditions. The song's lyrics and themes of partying and having fun reflect the vibrant and lively culture of West Africa.

Yo. Y'all should hold up. 'Ginger' as used in Nigeria (Kah-Lo is Nigerian) loosely means liveliness. So when she asks who has the ginger she's actually seeking the person with the 'turn up' not a ginger person.

@stck6315

Hold up! This ain't the same song anymore :D

@user-ll9ky4tm5b

I watched her talk about this song and she described it as who is down to party/ go out and drink.

For more simplified meaning.

@cheekybird6560

Ok that makes alot of sense thank you kind sir❤️

@DePirre

That's good to know. 😮 But as a ginger I'm going to keep it as if she were singing about gingers (hair color) 😝

@knoooby5607
