Toxic Lyrics – Ken Carson

Toxic Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus:]
In the chorus of “Toxic” by Ken Carson, he exudes a confident and assertive demeanor, reflecting his unapologetic approach to life and relationships. When Carson asserts that he “puts a b!tch up like a cheerleader,” he’s not just talking about lifting someone’s status; it suggests he elevates those around him, possibly through his influence or by making them feel special in his world. Describing someone as a “top tier b!tch” implies they are highly desirable and capable, while labeling them “toxic” hints at a potentially negative or dangerous influence they may have.

References to “Gen5, G-Lock, real heater” and pouring “a four in a two liter” likely allude to firearms and mixing lean (a combination of prescription-strength cough syrup and soda), portraying a lifestyle marked by luxury and excess. Carson’s declaration of being an “animal” in need of a “zookeeper” underscores his wild and uncontrollable nature, suggesting he operates on his own terms and thrives in chaos.

When Carson mentions making a movie with someone, it suggests he creates memorable and possibly dramatic experiences, both in real life and metaphorically within relationships or endeavors. His rhetorical question about what someone would do if they went broke, contrasted with his own confidence in bouncing back rich in just two weeks, underscores his financial resilience and success.

By referencing New York and mentioning Sheck Wes, Carson ties himself to the city’s vibrant culture and hip-hop scene, asserting his influence and presence in the industry while drawing parallels to other prominent figures.

[Verse:]
In the verse, Ken Carson continues to flaunt his wealth and lifestyle with unapologetic swagger. He starts by boasting about carrying “twenty five racks” (a slang term for thousands of dollars) and his ability to stack enough money to build a house. Critiquing those who have strayed from their paths, Carson emphasizes that even if he were to face financial setbacks, he would still possess enough wealth to recover quickly.

Metaphorically claiming he doesn’t need a kitchen because he’s “cooking” in other ways likely refers to making money through less conventional means or creative pursuits. Carson’s reference to intimate relations with someone from his past (“fu*king my old ho, she vintage”) demonstrates his disregard for conventional relationship norms and his tendency to embrace a lifestyle of casual encounters.

Comparing himself to a menace like Dennis the Menace, Carson portrays himself as someone not to be trifled with, underscoring his readiness to confront challenges head-on. He dismisses the need to project toughness because his actions speak louder than words, cautioning others to be mindful of their actions as consequences inevitably come to light.

Maintaining his stance of authenticity, Carson notes that while he doesn’t adhere to religious beliefs, he remains true to himself and his values. He acknowledges his s*xual desires and the jewelry he wears, recognizing the inherent risks associated with his lifestyle while acknowledging and showing appreciation for his supporters and associates.
