[Verse 1]
What's the matter with your life?
Is the poverty bringin' you down?
Is the mailman jerkin' you round?
Did he put your million dollar check in someone else's box?
Tell me, what's the matter with your world?
Was it boy when you wanted a girl?
Don't you know straight hair ain't got no curl?
Life, it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop, dig it
[Chorus]
Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space to fill
Pop life
Everybody can't be on top
But life, it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop, dig it
[Verse 2]
Tell me, what's that underneath your hair?
Is there anybody livin' there? (Anybody livin' there?)
Can't get over if you say you just don't care (Don't care)
Show me a boy who stays in school
And I'll show you a boy aware, dig it
[Chorus]
Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space to fill
Pop life
Everybody can't be on top
Life, it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop, dig it
[Verse 3]
What you puttin' in your nose?
Is that where all your money goes? (Is that where your money goes?)
The river of addiction flows
You think it's hot, but there won't be no water
When the fire blows, sing it
[Bridge]
Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space to fill
Pop life
Everybody wants to be on top
Life, it ain't real funky
Unless it's got that pop
[Outro]
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space to fill
Pop life
Everybody can't be on top
Life, it ain't real funky, baby
Unless it's got that pop
