Poppin
TPL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Stack some racks (Gwalla)
Then cop you a pocket rocket (Cop it)
As long as bro is around
I don't think that the violence stoppin'
(Stoppin') six in the spin for shoppin'
Which opp pack we coppin'? (Which one?)
She rates me 'cause I'm poppin'
The undies got eyes on gang
They wanna know more 'bout DC Lane (Intel)
Injecting skin cause pain, do him
Masked up like Bruce Wayne
Ride out with paintball pellets
This ain't a game, that's way too lame
(Haha) five in a four door dinger
Plus the driver can't make no mistakes
(Skrrt) what a lame
Does your fave rapper do what he says?
(Bitch) said it once and I'll say it again:
Tap it, tap it, slap it, slap it
On the back roads with bro, if you
See a Farm hat then nap him, nap him
(Ayy, grab him) grab that pack and slang it
Fill up the ting, get 'round and bang it
(Baow) it ain't safe around Manston Flats
These red bottles leave more than a scratch
(Ouch) hop out and slap, hop out, hop out
See the ting don't jam (No way)
Still do road in my 97's
Just run when you see these weapons
Nothin' like Dez, real corn, no pellets
Watch that car over there, no patience
Get 'round and wreck it (Wreck it)
DC Lane, that's us, no patience
Get 'round and rep it
Stack some racks (Gwalla)
Then cop you a pocket rocket (Cop it)
As long as bro is around
I don't think that the violence stoppin'
(Stoppin') six in the spin for shoppin'
Which opp pack we coppin'? (Which one?)
Might as well buy your coffins
She rates me 'cause I'm poppin'
Ayy, K, let's go crash that
Couple drills were done so bait
No time to go change them plates
And I know it's a rookie mistake (Oh well)
But we didn't get grabbed that day
So I had to thank God that day (Thank God)
Came back to the block, all smiling
Outed the pack, then called it a day
When it comes to the trap, I'm cray
Beatin' unlimited shots all day
Young boy, go make some cake
Then I might just grab us a cake
Sixteen two and a Q's in a cake
Made more than two and a blue in a day
Pull up on opps, see them running away
(Why you runnin'?)
They don't know between real or fake
Hold 'em to the sky, let me see who's fake
(Who's fake?) ten bands if I
Can't do it like me, what a shame
All that money from rap
You would think that they got real waps
(Mm-mm) they give us chat on snap
He got bunned and lost his chat
(What happened?)
Get 'round there in Manston Flats
GB bussin' off them straps (Baow)
We slap it at your cap
In the booth, I do not cap (No cap)
In the field I do not lack
Bad man from the TP batch (Bad man)
I got love for my akh
Tell him "Stand back" when I go tap tap
(Baow) all I know is trap and stack
Why's he watchin' me like that?
Does he know that SA slaps?
Does he know that SA slaps? (Slap it)
Stack some racks (Gwalla)
Then cop you a pocket rocket (Cop it)
As long as bro is around
I don't think that the violence stoppin'
(Stoppin') six in the spin for shoppin'
Which opp pack we coppin'? (Which one?)
Might as well buy your coffins
She rates me 'cause I'm poppin' (O oh)
Stack some racks (Gwalla)
Then cop you a pocket rocket (Cop it)
As long as bro is around
I don't think that the violence stoppin'
(Stoppin') six in the spin for shoppin'
Which opp pack we coppin'? (Which one?)
Might as well buy your coffins
She rates me 'cause I'm poppin' (O oh)
KF Beats ayy, Rocky, this is wavy
