The first single from Cee's sophomore album "Relentless", "I Got Next" is a trappy, atmospheric neck snapper with a catchy, melodic hook and searing double-time bars from Cee, Myer Clarity and Notion, solidifying why they most certainly "got next".
lyrics
Verse (Cee):
In a lab coat with this stop watch, I've been that close but then cock blocked,
But the man focused, no off shots, and the track's potent, this onslaught,
Of real shit never really quit, really kid, I mean the catalogue is really thick, it really is,
And the team is looking really big, I really spit, so the future feeling really sick, we really did,
Get it in over soul beats, been getting no sleep, bruh I barely left the crib for a whole week,
So we putting in the work when the cold peak, so much fire we never considered to hold heat,
Yeah, and the whole squad gon' eat, I put that on my grandmama, I done told T,
We didn't dip for empty pockets and some cold tea, hoe please, homie we grinding 'til I got no teeth,
Fuck a broke steez, tryina live life smooth, cocoa butter on both knees, the man's gone,
On a limb for the clique 'til we living like we kings and we all up in this bitch like a tampon,
I got next, and I ain't tryina stop until we got cheques,
Seven figures so the whip is with a Dot S, holy shit and man, these rappers is a hot mess, just quit bruh
Hook (Myer Clarity):
Ooooohhhhh rolling through the city with the windows down,
(rolling with the windows down)
Ain’t nobody gonna take my crown,
I’ma kill this shit right now
Who want next? (Let’s roll!)
Ain’t nobody gonna take my crown,
I’ma kill this shit right now
Who want next? (Let’s roll!)
Right now?
Who want next?
Kill it right now
Verse (Myer Clarity):
All y’all yelling how you got next, how long any of us got left?
I don’t see any type of promise, everybody’s head up on the chop block, bickering on who be getting chopped next,
Everybody stop it! Time we get together and acknowledge, only ever be some independent artists,
Industry took every single dollar, but I can’t get a penny when my song spin?
Grew up on Eminem, palms sweaty in a large hoodie, vomit on it in the wash of a small kitchen,
Underground, promising Mama, when the song spinning, I’ma buy us both real windows with a yard in ‘em,
Time gon’ make a liar out of all of us, praying all the trauma was a part of it
Word to the Paul Bearers, be a waste if the drama never inspired words to turn ‘em into songs for us,
I’m all up for toppling all of it down and just starting from scratch,
Call in a bomb threat to parliament conferenced with satellite radio called in I’m next,
I give em shit to quote, be the first to admit that we missed the boat,
What you fishing for? Shit, sink or float, be the big fish next on that fishing pole, all of y’all fish sticks, bro
Hook (Myer Clarity):
Ooooohhhhh rolling through the city with the windows down,
(rolling with the windows down)
Ain’t nobody gonna take my crown,
I’ma kill this shit right now
Who want next? (Let’s roll!)
Right now
Who want next? (Let’s roll!)
Right now?
Who want next?
Kill it right now
Verse (Notion):
Yo I don't think you understand this, just seein' how we movin', how we planned it,
Non-stop people don't know how we manage, we relentless, you knowin' what the brand is,
TMF, got next ‘coz we built the steps, cats tuning in now givin' real respect,
Yo it don't even matter how you praise the set, just make a big pause, let it take effect,
I been makin' soul beats, brought back the old heat, now we in the stu’ with Cee the whole week,
I'm out murderin' wax, paid a pertinent tax, and right now, dog, we on the attack
And yo, we been on the up and up, know what the fuck is up, 30 plus, real fresh with a button up,
See the fire inside, like a murderous vibe, real life like a permanent high,
I'm outta fucks to give, had enough of this, wore my Heart On My Sleeve, y'all loved the shit,
Gotta trust the kid, goin' nuts for this, and the team breakin' backs, real lumbar shit,
And yeah dog, we wanna thank you, ‘coz you helped the crew doin' what you ain't do,
Real slick how we workin' with the angles, damn, dog, don't ya know we got an angel, We got next
Hook (Myer Clarity):
Ooooohhhhh rolling through the city with the windows down,
(rolling with the windows down)
Ain’t nobody gonna take my crown,
I’ma kill this shit right now,
Who want next? (Let’s roll!)
Right now
Who want next? (Let’s roll!)
Right now?
Who want next?
Kill it right now
