The lyrics highlight the perception that innocent and marginalized individuals are often unfairly punished and targeted. The opening lines, "3, 2, 1, guess who's back? / Sierra Tango Oscar Mike Yankee / Amer is the cursed sect / Like the Predator, I only come out at night..." set a tone of defiance and resistance. Guizmo rejects the authority and control exerted by the police and compares them to a cursed sect. The chorus, "Who will be the next one? / Souleymane, Fofana, Mamadou Dio / Zyed and Bouna, [...] " refers to real-life incidents of police violence, referencing victims such as Zyed and Bouna who tragically died in a chase with the police. Guizmo emphasizes the names of these victims to show the repetitive nature of police brutality and the toll it takes on communities.

He mentions the frustration of marginalized communities who feel oppressed and unheard.

The song ends with the line, "How many mothers crying for their sons / How many sisters crying for their brothers / Victims of police abuse, soon civilian war will be..." This implies a warning that the continuous oppression and mistreatment will eventually lead to a violent revolt or uprising if nothing changes. Overall, "Qui Sera Le Prochain?" reflects the anger and despair felt by many individuals who experience the consequences of police violence and systemic injustice. It calls for an end to the cycle of oppression and demands accountability for those responsible.
