Popcorn
M&H Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop

Top of the mornin to ya, top of the morn'
Niggas been sleep, now yawn new born
To the break of dawn, we be Kausin' Mad Drama
Like hot butter on (popcorn mama)
I'ma, mindbender, I love tender skins gender
Realer than the eagle seal
On your legal tender i'm the spender
Of every red cent 'til I'm stomped
Rock for the Kause
It's no comp cause we deep like a swamp
Zev Love a brother I never budges
I hold everything from mics to like grudges
I won't let a bygone be a bygone
Back to play the bitch niggas like a fly horn
I'm controllin all you snakes with
Hookin up the cakes with hot butter
The same like your grandmother bake up
Butt naked, take it from the Riddler, Batman
Who be the oddball, Jake or the Fatman?
Pass the gat man
The God fin' to make it go pop
A lot like the kid I used to break with
Way back when like eighty-four
At my last look
He's lookin to get his ass whupped
And his cash took
That and a old school flavor like a bomber
Like hot butter on (popcorn mama)

Yeah (popcorn mama, popcorn mama, popcorn mama, popcorn mama)

I won't funk fake, so let your toast go
Hip-Hop break, for the boast shit
Quick to make a cherry
Make 'em feel like Mary
In hot butter (Sub word to your mother)
So big shit, well dig it I rock shit
I wig it I cock shit, I drink it
To lick off the wicked
Weak ones, deep in the club with sneak guns
And boogie with the fly freak unique hons
You got the runs
Well we be runnin shit on the underrated list
I'm never played, and so we're Constipated
But so, what? I'm runnin shit in my pajamas
Like hot butter on (popcorn mama)

Yeah (popcorn mama, popcorn mama, popcorn mama, popcorn mama)

Like hot butter, you can't see this
Cause I'm the realest
On your breakfast toast yo
CM, on your breakfast toast
Constipated Mind, on your breakfast toast




(popcorn mama)
On your breakfast toast ad libs to fade

@TemploSonico

Here's another version of this video aired on tv
https://youtu.be/B0WBlAd-_-E

@szczepan900

In my opinion this version is THE BEST :)

@Cyberbrickmaster1986

I agree. This is my favourite rendition of the popcorn song and it isn't even the original.

@adinichifor5871

It is.

@ProMonarchyGenius

This masterpiece of a video must be the work of a Commodore Amiga computer.

@bluewing26

Nope

@scotthuish67

In all fairness, the song was originally written in 1969, so the Commodore Amiga would be light years ahead compared to that.

@HayTatsuko

My thoughts exactly. I'd love to know what system and software were actually used to put this together. It's primitive and charming all at once.

@theblenderfiddler4434

Made in 1987, it would be appropriate for them to use an amiga at least partially to make it
Seems like a combination between cell animation, stop-motion animtation, live action, and computer animation. The computer animations might very well have been done in deluxe paint for the amiga lol

@HayTatsuko

@@theblenderfiddler4434 This strikes me as being done on an Amiga -- not just from the time it was made, but from the general look of the digital art in it. The resolution looks like something approaching 640 x 400, which very much jibes with what an Amiga could produce at the time.
