- Pop Life Lyrics / with translationsWhat's the matter with your life
Is the poverty bringing u down?
Is the mailman jerking u round?
Did he put your million dollar check
In someone elses box?
Tell me, what's the matter with your world
Was it a boy when u wanted a girl? (boy when u wanted a girl)
Don't u know straight hair aint got no curl (no curl)
Life it aint real funky
Unless it's got that pop
Dig it
Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space 2 fill
Pop life
Everybody can't be on top
But life it aint real funky
Unless it's got that pop
Dig it
Tell me, what's that underneath your hair?
Is there anybody living there? (anybody living there)
U can't get over, if u say u just don't care (don't care)
Show me a boy who stays in school
And I'll show u a boy aware!
Dig it
Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space 2 fill
Pop life
Everybody can't be on top
But life it aint real funky
Unless it's got that pop
Dig it
What u putting in your nose?
Is that where all your money goes (is that where your money goes)
The river of addiction flows
U think it's hot, but there wont be no water
When the fire blows
Dig it
Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space 2 fill
Pop life
Everybody wants to be on top
But life it aint real funky
Unless it's got that pop
Dig it
Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space 2 fill

He points to the flaws in the system of valuing one's life through the materials that one owns, through being like everyone else, and through being addicted to things. On the other hand, he points out the necessity of being real and self-aware in a world that promotes an easy path to success and a ready reward over hard work and waiting. The lyrics of "Pop Life" reflect mostly on the socio-political situation, partying, joy, and celebration.
