Baba treesha (oh)

Fishbowl, send shots, bend blocks, send 'em back (yeah)
Earthquakes and ceiling cracks, all my niggas into that
You send a shot, we send it back, all facts, no cap (none)
Put my hat to the back (back), a hunnid thousand in the bag
Look, eleven dollars a hour ain't enough to live (nah)
So I'ma go in every store and I'ma swipe this shit (yeah, yeah)
They tryna lock a nigga up and I'm like, "Fuck a bid" (yeah)
'Cause either way, mommy gon' still love her kid (she gon' love me)
I just took twenty from the city they like, "Who is you?" (Who that? Woo)
A lotta niggas talkin' shit that they don't really do (ah, yeah)
I'm 'bout to turn my Air Force 1's into a Gucci shoe (yeah, yeah)
I'm 'bout to turn my Timberlands into a Yeezy boot (oh)
My president black, bandana is blue (you know what I'm sayin'?)
Diamonds hittin', got me glistenin' like I came out the pool
I'm so exotic like I came out the zoo (no)
But I shot out the coupe (no)
I got a scope with a clear eye view, woo (yeah)
I'm flirtin' with your baba treesha (treesha)
Shorty said she like my demeanor (demeanor)
And she look like a eater (eater)
I'm off the Perky geekin' (yeah)
I'm flirtin' with your baba treesha (treesha)

Wait, wait
Oh, wait (my demeanor is meaner than yours)
Ooh

Female alpha
And I practice what I preach, I devour
Tell me, can you take the heat?
You can touch with your eyes only
I know you like what you see
That "Je ne sais quoi" energy
Baby, get on your knees
You can't say Pop without Smoke
So fill up with your lungs
My diamonds will make you choke
You like the way I move
My demeanor is meaner than yours
So clap for the encore
You can't say Pop without Smoke
So fill up with your lungs
My diamonds will make you choke
You like the way I move
My demeanor is meaner than yours
So clap for the encore

The song "Demeanor" by Pop Smoke and Dua Lipa starts with a repetitive hook that uses the phrase "Baba treesha," which is a Jamaican Patois expression that means attractive woman. The lyrics are about Pop Smoke flirting with different women and enjoying his success. He is under the influence of drugs, specifically Perky, which is a slang term for Percocet, and he feels confident and invincible. Pop Smoke talks about his lifestyle of making money, stealing, and living on the edge. He even mentions the low wage rates that make him resort to theft. However, he also mentions his love for his mother, who accepts him no matter what.
The second verse is Pop Smoke's rap, where he talks about his success, his expensive jewelry, and his style. He likens his stylish footwear to brands such as Gucci and Yeezy. He asserts his dominance as an alpha male and brags about his unique features that make him stand out, such as his exotic look. Pop Smoke concludes the third verse with a warning to his enemies that he has sharp vision and a sniper's aim.
The song then transitions back to the chorus that repeats the idea of Pop Smoke flirting with attractive women, all while being high on drugs. The song's underlying message is one of living life to the fullest, being confident and proud of oneself, and enjoying the rewards of success.
