Pop Style
Drake 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

In Drake's song Pop Style from his 2016 album Views, the rapper reflects on his success and the changes it has brought into his life. Drake starts off the song by proudly boasting of his wealth and the empire he has built from the ground up after dropping out of school. He's aware of the popularity of his music, comparing his style to some of the most notable hip-hop and rap acts, including Jay-Z and Kanye West. However, despite his success, Drake admits that he often feels targeted by those who are trying to bring him down.


The second verse is more introspective, where Drake talks about his insecurity caused by the people trying to bring him down. He addresses the changes he needs to make in his life to protect himself and his career. He wants to take the high road, even acknowledging how people often dislike everything about him. Through inventive wordplay, Drake raps about his lavish lifestyle while directly confronting critics who didn't believe in him from the beginning.
