Poppin
R. Kelly feat. OJ Da Juiceman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo what up man?
Send me that instrumental real quick
Which one?
"What's Poppin'"
Alright got you right now
Yessir, let's go

What's poppin'?
Just fucked my ex, I rawed it
Two X in the mushroom chocolate
Two X on neck, I'm frostbit
Stay dressin', no balsamic
Got commas Comme des Garcon'd it
Cup got ice cubes like Compton
Chef Nobu, cook me raw fish

Long beards but the squad's not Amish
Just bosses, dropouts and convicts
Wallets bigger than Chris Wallace
Dead presidents inside, it's haunted
Yellow tape where I'm from, stay cautious
Made mixtapes wearin' shirts with the horses
It's been a minute since I gave a fuck about a critic's
Opinion but they keep forgettin' where the bars went
Old timers, damn, y'all got Alzheimer's?
Can't say what your subconscious think
Be honest y'all hate that I switch genres
Fuck models, switch condoms
Eat beef like McDonald's
Eat rappers, Jeff Dahmer
Top five of the young rhymers
Been sick, no virus
I'm an OG now, I do not pay homage

Look, I'm a Cleveland Cavalier
Drivin' foreign engineer
At the Fashion Week in Paris
Cinderella on my terrace
Glass slipper on the stairs
Ass fatter than Shakira's
I saw her live at the Super Bowl
I was in town for a movie role
Toosie Slide in the booty hole
Smokin' woods, eatin' tuna roll
Playing cards like its Yu-Gi-Oh!
And I was only in the studio

I wake up, I'm moody, I roll up some fruity
That have more colors than a Coogi coat
I'm not a rapper that talk 'bout designer
But this is from Virgil and Louis though
Inside my closet's a million options
I put on all black like a funeral
I hop out the plane in pajamas
I do this shit daily, I don't even plan it, whoa

What's poppin'?
Just fucked my ex, I rawed it
Two X in the mushroom chocolate
Two X on neck, I'm frostbit
Two eggs with cheese and sausage
On the bed, she fed me topless

Three X's next to the names
Of the three last hoes on my missed call list, yeah yeah
Red eyes I can't see clear, whoa whoa
My bricks so white, they glow, damn damn
She made an OnlyFans, ugh ugh
Can write my life in books
I'm back to my old ways, I been





Alright, fuck it I'm good

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Poppin" by R. Kelly feat. OJ Da Juiceman may be controversial, but they are clear in their meaning. The song is about the lifestyle of a rich and famous person who has everything, but still needs more. It's about the rapper's obsession with drugs, women, and money. He talks about his sexual experiences, his extravagant fashion choices, and his luxurious lifestyle. The rapper brags about his wealth and status, mentioning that he has "got commas" and that his "wallets bigger than Chris Wallace." He also mentions his disgust towards critics and how they tend to forget where the "bars went." The rapper is clearly not paying tribute to those from the past and appears to be too preoccupied with his own success.


The first verse talks about the rapper's sexual experiences with his ex-girlfriend. He mentions using condoms and then compares his frosted chain to the mushroom chocolate he took before having sex. He also talks about his balsamic-free dressing but has a comma of fresh clothing from Comme des Garcon. The song then transitions to the rapper boasting about how much money he has and how it has grown since the beginning of his career. The rapper even talks about his luxury taste in sushi by saying "Chef Nobu, cook me raw fish."


In verse two, the rapper states that his squad is made up of "bosses, dropouts, and convicts." He then discusses his wealth again and how he has "dead presidents" in his wallet, which is a term for U.S. dollar bills with former U.S. presidents on them. The term "dead" is used to describe them because the presidents are no longer living. The song mentions yellow tape, a reference to caution, as well as mixtapes that the rapper and his friends made while wearing shirts with horses on them. In the bridge, the song talks about smoking, playing cards, and daily routines, all while doing things like eating tuna rolls and watching Asian anime.
