[Chorus] Been on my way for a while now I took steps Ooh And I know you've waited a long time But don't fret We got next We got next Ooh We got- [Verse] Next, we got now Don't ask how, just ask when Take a bow, for the ones who came before us Cause we ain't them I spit a hymn Straight at yo brim Nasty as phlegm Then I eat euro I don't pretend, when I get a pen It's worth some m's, i'm talkin' plural They don't know what to do with me Every defender, need a eulogy I give my heart in perpetuity To all the stars from my community That ain't never got to shine and glisten But still can analyze my diction I murder every single rhyme i'm spittin' I teach you how to eat like dieticians Gimme a beat Nell If my feet swell Don't trip, that mean i'm walking on it If i'm derailed, I should be hailed As the one with bars like a swab of cotton For yo ears to remove the sludge I persevered through all kinds of mud I have no fears I shed tears for years and then I appeared On those out of touch With what a goat look like, and i'm the ewu I float a good height above what they use To set the bar for masters who have mastered How to manufacture Classic chapters meant to capture Those who hope to lie in pastures Dipped in castor oil No more play, word to Pastor Troy And I said all that to furthermore Explain that I've [Chorus] Been on my way for a while now I took steps Ooh And I know you've waited a long time But don't fret We got next We got next Ooh We got Next

Meaning of "WE GOT NEXT" by Tobe Nwigwe
The lyrics to "WE GOT NEXT" burst with a triumphant declaration of arrival. After a long grind, the speaker asserts their moment has come, promising a powerful new era. It's a confident, almost defiant statement of readiness and earned success. This track navigates the tension between honoring those who paved the way and boldly carving out a unique space. The narrator acknowledges predecessors with a respectful "Take a bow," but quickly distinguishes themselves, stating "Cause we ain't them." This suggests an evolution, a new standard being set after years of unseen effort and struggle, as implied by "shed tears for years and then I appeared." The lyrical craft here is particularly striking in its raw, visceral imagery. The speaker describes their delivery as "Nasty as phlegm" yet also a "hymn," a powerful, almost spiritual outpouring. This aggressive, cleansing force is further emphasized by the claim of having "bars like a swab of cotton / For yo ears to remove the sludge," positioning their music as both potent and purifying, clearing away inferior sounds. Ultimately, these lyrics resonate because they blend unshakeable self-belief with a deep sense of purpose. The declaration of being "the ewu" (goat) isn't just bravado; it's grounded in a commitment to community, honoring "all the stars from my community / That ain't never got to shine." This makes the triumphant "We got next" feel not just like a personal victory, but a collective ascent.
