Pop Style
Drake/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah

Dropped outta school now we dumb rich, dumb rich
This sound like some forty-three-oh-one shit, one shit
All my niggas wanna do is pop style, pop style
Turn my birthday into a lifestyle, lifestyle

Tell my mom I love her if I do not make it
Got so many chains they call me Chaining Tatum, they do
And I like to finish what you think you started
Man you boys just got to Hollywood
You boys just started
You don't know what you just started
All I do is hang with the young and heartless
All this is for my family, man, I try my hardest
It's all I ever did and look where it got him
Yeah, you've been on my mind lately
You've still got my number, girl you need to call me
I feel like they wanna see me learn the hard way
But you know I always handle that one my way
Girl let me rock, rock, rock, rock, rock your body
Justin Timberlake and then I hit the highway
I can't trust no fuckin' body
They still out to get me cause they never got me

They still out to get me, they don't get it
I can not be gotten, that's a given
They like Pablo why are all the windows tinted in your Tahoe?
Why do you know every single bitch that I know?
Why can't you just shut your mouth and take the high road?
Fuck if I know, that's that Chicago, aye
South, south, side, that's the motto, aye
Cop a crib and spend ten million on remodel
Take the devils out my life and preach the gospel, cause I know
We went way, way past the line of scrimmage, aye
Throne is back up in it, aye
In the field like Emmitt, aye, y'all get so offended, aye
I be blacking out, I ain't backing out
Jay about his business, and I'mma let you finish but I
I just, I just, I just, I just wanna rock your body
Take you to the garage and do some karate
Chop it, chop it, chop it, chop it sipping sake
Throw a thick bitch on a Kawasaki
(Perfect)

Dropped outta school now we dumb rich, dumb rich
This sound like some forty-three-oh-one shit, one shit




All my niggas wanna do is pop style, pop style
Turn my birthday into a lifestyle, lifestyle

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Drake’s “Pop Style” are about how he and his crew have become successful and rich despite dropping out of school. The song also showcases Drake’s luxurious lifestyle as he talks about his many chains, calling himself “Chaining Tatum.” The chorus repeats the line “All my n****s wanna do is pop style” which can be interpreted as them wanting to live a life of luxury and excess. Additionally, Drake mentions his family and how he tries his hardest for them, which is the only thing he has ever done.


In the second verse, Drake talks about how people are still trying to bring him down despite his success, maybe even in a jealous manner. He mentions that he can’t trust anyone and that people are still out to get him. The reference to Pablo could possibly be a nod to Kanye West or a play on the character Pablo Escobar. There is also a mention of “Chicago” which could be a nod to the city where Kanye West and Jay-Z are from.

Throwin' dirt on my old name
Only gets worse when you know things
You don't see the perks of this whole thing
But you get real on a pill and I like it
You just like my psychic, I just wanna buy
Fulfill all your desires
Keep you in the front, never in the back
And never on the side, yeah
You a real ass woman and I like it
I don't wanna fight it
Look, you know I'm a rider, nothin' left to hide
Your other nigga tired
Talk about you like you'll never leave his side
But I don't really buy it
Me I'm movin' quiet, all the things we're tryin'
Let's just keep it private
Tell me should I cut these other girls right out of my life?
'Cause we never decided
Tell me how you feel inside
You a real ass woman and I like it
Dedicate to you
I need you inspired, I need you excited
I don't wanna fight it
I figure out you, you figure out me
We both a different breed
I'm followin' your lead, I ask you what you need
You say it's guaranteed
I mean you say that like it's easy
You never believe me
Told you I got Zs for these other girls sleepin' on him
Girl I'm sleepy
Sometimes I'm so indecisive
But you a real ass woman and I like it
I don't wanna fight it
I give you my fortune
I dedicate, I dedicate, woah yeah
I dedicate, I dedicate
I dedicate, baby, dedicate
I dedicate to you
I dedicate, I dedicate
This song's for you
I dedicate, I dedicate
I give you my all
I give you my voice
This song's for you

2016 always be one of the best years of my life. I was 21 years old and had just asked one of my good friends of five years if she would go out with me. She said yes, we played Views all summer and literally dedicated this song to each other. Seven years later, we have built our family together and couldn’t be happier. This song and the summer of 2016 will always hold a special place in my heart.
