Hotel Lobby
Pop Smoke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was chillin' in my hotel lobby (lobby)
When I got a call that niggas tryna find me
I don't really wanna catch a body (body)
But I got a feelin' niggas tryna line me (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I was chillin' in my hotel lobby (lobby)
When I got a call that niggas tryna find me (find me)
I don't really wanna catch a body (body)
But I got a feelin' niggas tryna line me

If I can't do it, homie, it can't be done
I'ma let the champagne bottle pop
I'ma take it to the top
Show you how my niggas rock
092

My dawgs (dawgs) stay with it (stay with it)
Big apes (apes) in the cave with it (cave with it)
Free Melly G'z, he in the cage with it
Pop Smoke (uh), yeah, I stay with it
Summertime, spicy
Got my weight up, now, they like me
You want your bread back? (uh), come and fight me (fight me)
Check that (check that), Nike (Nike)
I done came a long way from the street shit (street shit)
I done knocked lotta niggas out, G shit (G shit)
I remember when they said I ain't gon' be shit (nah)
Well, I'ma be shit (uh), uh, look (look)
And I did fifteen on my check-ins
Stashed, then you can check it
Christian Loubin', I'm steppin'
At the teller, she like, "Hol' up a second"
All eyes on me when I step in
Pieces kickin' like Tekken (grr)
And I dumped a few slips through the mobile (yeah)
You can call if they hold 'em
Got the gold back like Trojan
Mansa Musa get used to
Rip my shirt off like Hogan
D's be sweatin' me
Kicked down my door, findin' guns and more, guns galore

I was chillin' in my hotel lobby (lobby)
When I got a call that niggas tryna find me
I don't really wanna catch a body (body)
But I got a feelin' niggas tryna line me (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I was chillin' in my hotel lobby (lobby)
When I got a call that niggas tryna find me (find me)
I don't really wanna catch a body (body)
But I got a feelin' niggas tryna line me

If I can't do it, homie, it can't be done
I'ma let the champagne bottle pop
I'ma take it to the top
Show you how my niggas rock
092

I was chillin' in my hotel lobby (lobby)
When I got a call that niggas tryna find me (find me)




I don't really wanna catch a body (body)
But I got a feelin' niggas tryna line me (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Overall Meaning

In Pop Smoke's song "Hotel Lobby," the lyricist describes his state of mind as he receives a threatening phone call while he chills in the hotel lobby. He expresses his reluctance to engage in violence and catch a body, but he also senses that others are out to get him, which means that he must protect himself. He recognizes that he has come a long way from his earlier days on the street, but he also acknowledges that he still faces significant threats. Despite his ongoing worries, the rapper asserts his success and ambition, vowing to "take it to the top" and prove to his fans how his crew rocks.


The song speaks to the violence that often permeates hip-hop culture, particularly with regard to the dangers that rappers face and the alternatives they must consider. On the one hand, it celebrates success and self-motivation as essential elements for survival, while on the other, it emphasizes the danger that artists continue to encounter in their line of work. The song ultimately highlights the uncertainty and insecurity that often characterizes the lives of successful hip-hop artists.

He tried to "Aim for the moon"
But only " For the night"
Even though he was " Armed and Dangerous"
He was also " Something Special"
He started a " War"
With "44 Bulldogs"
He hanged out with "Gangstas"
But suffered from "PTSD"
He also loved "Dior"
And told us to "Enjoy yourself"
He even "Shaked the room"
And he was from "Zoo York"
He loved "West coast shit"
And loved to "Make it rain"
He even had "Tunnel Vison"
And was "Invincible"
He was an "Element"
But also a " Creature"
He had a " Bad bitch from Toyko"
And asked her "What you know love"
But she told him to " Get Back"
Even though he had " Mood swings"
He will always be known as " The woo"
Rest in peace Pop Smoke
