Hello
Pop Smoke Lyrics

Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah (Uh?)
Acknowledging someone else in the studio and asking for confirmation or validation of the beat they're working on.

Mentioning a specific luxury brand (Audemars Piguet) that the artist is wearing as a prominent flex.

I like my bitches redbone, ass fat, Jell-O
I prefer women who are either light-skinned with a curvy (preferably big) behind, or with a skin color that resembles red Jell-O, which is a play on words for a reddish hue in their complexion.

Lightskin, yellow, iced out, hello
The women he's attracted to either have light skin, yellow or potentially platinum hair color, and wear lots of ice (bling) that shine brightly enough so that they scream ‘hello’ in a crowd.

I'm the king of New York, Melo
The rapper believes he's the top artist in New York City, worthy of comparison to NBA Player Carmelo Anthony, who played for the New York Knicks at one point in time.

Black hair by the Regis and Pello
The artist prefers dark-haired women and mentions two popular hair care products (Regis and Pello) that women might use for their hair care needs.

Ask around, niggas know me
There's no need to explain who he is to anyone in his area. All the locals already know him and his reputation which speaks for itself.

I'm a Euro boy, Ginóbili
He's saying he’s like Ginóbili, who's a retired NBA player from Argentina. Ginóbili is a Euro-style baller with impressive passing and timing skills on the court, which Pop relates to with his European vibe or style of rapping.

I been so gone, I like redbones
I've been gone for a while, but I still like women who match the same skin complexion as Jell-O.

My type light skin, ass fat, Jell-O (huh?)
The kind of women he likes: light-skinned, curvy body shape with red Jell-O complexion, and he's looking for confirmation or validation from his partner or those around him.

But bitches be switchin' sides nowadays on the regular
Women are changing their minds and preferences frequently more than ever before. They're likely to change partners spontaneously at any time without warning, which he’s not fond of.

And I never respected it
He hates the way women are starting to dump partners more frequently without showing any sign of remorse or respect towards them.

Money over bitches, I know that's everything
He values financial success over any romantic relationship and knows it's everything because it’s what makes him popular, famous, and respected.

Money over bitches, I know that's hot
The same line from earlier but repeated as a reminder and a way to demonstrate his strong beliefs around power and money.

Rockin' VVS by Elliot wedding bands
The artist is wearing wedding bands by Elliot that sparkle and shine because of their exquisite diamonds, which are VVS quality.

I will never ever give her no wedding ring
He's not interested in long-term romantic relationships or marriage and would never get involved in it in the future.

.45 on my hip, I ain't fightin' 'em
The artist is armed with a .45 caliber handgun that he keeps on his side, and he will not fight anyone who approaches him or calls out his name.

Chewin' on an Aderall like a vitamin
He is taking prescription drugs such as Aderall, which he chews on like vitamins to help him focus and be more productive during studio or performance sessions.

Niggas pockets be on E
Many people in his neighborhood are poor or broke and have almost no money in their pockets.

Somethin' they already know but I'm droppin' a T
It's “tea” (another word for gossip) time, and he has some information to share that his followers and those in his area may already know (or suspect) but he’ll try his best to drop something new.

They makin' up rumors and lies, okay, I'm sick and I'm tired
People who live around him or listen to him are spreading malicious rumors and lies that are starting to wear him down emotionally as it must be overwhelming to be the center of attention all the time.

I'm mighty fatigued, none of my bitches be mine
He's exhausted because none of the women he's attracted too want to be tied to him romantically or as a significant other.

They coulda been one of yours, but they out of your league
The women he's with or he’s attracted to are much more beautiful, elegant, or sophisticated compared to women in other people's groups or circles, who likely can’t attract the same caliber of women, so he feels superior to them in that way.

I'ma just call up Fatima, nah, that ain't really her name
He'll call a woman named Fatima (although, it’s not actually her real name) to join him for a romantic night out or in, which is regular for him and his score of romantic conquests.

But she for the team
The woman named Fatima is just someone who's down for the team, meaning she’s someone he can rely on to be available whenever he needs her romantically or sexually.

I get fly as a bitch, like I looted up
He's got a lot of money, and when he steps out, he's looking fresh with new clothes, shoes, and other accessories which could arouse suspicion if someone were to know he had recently come into some money (like looting).

All this money you talkin' ain't new to us (woo)
He knows he's got a lot of money and has had it for a while now, so when people talk about money or try to impress him by saying that they have a lot of money, it's not newsworthy to him.

I'm the king of New York and on God
I am the top dog in New York City in terms of my music career, and I'll say this on God to back up my claims.

If Pop was alive there would have been two of us
The late rapper Pop Smoke and he would have been an unbeatable duo together, synonymous with other legendary duos in the music industry.

Pull up like Ace from the cleaners, Ace and el fiends
The artist is arriving at a location in a recognizable way that resembles how someone named Ace from a cleaner's shop might drive up or enter a scene. Also mentioning ‘el fiends’ which could either be short for ‘fiendish’, a nod to his customers being addicted to his music, or a reference to his supporters/party members.

Pop making movies, sell out arenas
Pop Smoke is making great music and selling out arenas when it comes to shows and performances.

She off the white, talkin' Demi Lovato
He’s seen a woman who has indulged in drugs, 'the white', which is a slang term for cocaine, and is now high and talking about Demi Lovato, a famous celebrity who's been open about her drug abuse addiction.

AP Audemars wet, Aquafina

Dior on my body, sneakers got no creases

They limited, baby, tell me if you've seen 'em
These sneakers he's wearing are from a limited collection and are hard to find. He's asking his fans if they’ve seen similar sneakers before or would recognize them.

My diamonds dancin', paint her face like Marilyn Manson (Marilyn Manson)
The diamonds in his jewelry are sparkling and shining in a way that makes them dance and gives them motion, and are shining that brightly that they could leave an impression on someone's face like a temporary tattoo. He’s pulling out a rap move by repeating the name 'Marilyn Manson' (who is an American rock singer, songwriter, and notorious musician) to emphasize the image of the face painting analogy.

Then roll up that Woo, Runtz straight from Cali'
He's rolled up his woo (weed), a popular cannabis strain, and mentions it's Runtz from California, which is known for producing some of the best strains of weed in the United States.

You ain't get fucked, 'cause your ass ain't fat enough
He's trying to clown someone or people who aren't getting lucky with hooking up with the kinds of women he likes because they're not curvy enough, specifically around the derrière area.

If you talk crazy, get batted up, yeah
If someone talks nonsense or gets out of line, they're going to receive a severe punishment, such as getting hit or beaten up by the artist or one of his associates.
