THE LIST Lyrics – Kanye West, Ye, King Combs

THE LIST Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus: King Combs]
This part is King Combs talking about casual hook-ups with no strings attached. He’s hyping up a wild, s*xual lifestyle where he’s constantly adding and removing women from a mental list of conquests. When he says “get butt naked” and other graphic lines, he’s being very explicit about what he expects from these encounters. The phrase “scratched another name off my thot list” means he just had another fling and is done with her now. The chorus repeats this to emphasize how casual and emotionless these experiences are for him. It’s all about living fast, having fun, and not catching feelings. There’s also a bragging tone in the way he delivers it, like he’s proud of it.

[Verse: King Combs]
Here, King Combs is talking about continuing his fast-paced lifestyle. He’s planning to add more women to his list, showing that this is a regular thing for him. He notices a new luxury car and considers buying it, showing off his wealth. Then he mentions attending a Knicks game in the VIP section and having women around him trying to get intimate. The weed and “hot boxes” add to the party vibe. Basically, he’s saying if you’re looking for him, he’s always where the wild party scene and women are.

[Chorus: King Combs]
This section just repeats the main message again—he’s having another quick hook-up, adding someone to his list, and moving on. It keeps the focus on fun, s*x, and no commitment, making it clear that’s the theme.

[Outro]
He might mess around, but he still has a main person or place he considers “home.”
