Pops
They. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Used to kick the wisdom while he sipped up on his Brandy
He pushed a Plymouth but that nigga used to whip it like a Caddie
Never saw the method to his madness
Some days I would scream, "I can't stand you"
And then he slip up say he wished he never had me
I closed the distance once a nigga moved to Cali'
I wish I never moved to Cali'
Tough love den made me grow up
City full of niggas that I really don't trust
Lonely and I'm drunk so I think I'll call him up and say
He used to pray for them better days 'til they came 'round
Hate where I'm headed but I can't slow down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey
Been tryna make a change, I don't know how
Maybe I was meant to take the long way 'round?
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey
Pray that I feel the same when I come down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down
Finally on my own, see me on the road
Been a minute since I visit, hate to see you getting old
And I wished I never blamed you for the things you didn't know
Sometimes I wish I still had you to keep me on my toes
How it feel pops?
To see your young boy getting money, got that deal pops
Put a little back up in your pocket
Here pops, I can pay you back for college now for real pops
Finally living like you live
He used to pray for them better days 'til they came 'round
Hate where I'm headed but I can't slow down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey
Been tryna make a change, I don't know how
Maybe I was meant to take the long way 'round?
Pray that I feel the same when I come down
The song "Pops" by They. is an introspective piece that delves into the artist's relationship with his father. The opening lines "I get my drinking from my daddy, used to kick the wisdom while he sipped up on his Brandy" introduce the central theme of the song. The artist is upfront about his father's imperfections, but he also acknowledges the lessons he learned from him. As the song progresses, the artist reflects on his own life and the choices he's made, including his decision to move away from home.
The song reaches its emotional climax in the third verse, where the artist admits to feeling regret over things he said to his father in the past. He also expresses a desire to make up for lost time now that he's become successful. The chorus "He used to pray for them better days 'til they came 'round, hate where I'm headed but I can't slow down" reflects the artist's struggle to reconcile his upbringing with his current lifestyle.
In summary, "Pops" is a moving tribute to the complexities of father-son relationships, a meditation on growing up and the realization that sometimes it's too late to make amends.

[Verse 1]
I get my drinking from my daddy
Used to kick the wisdom while he sipped up on his Brandy
He pushed a plymouth but that nigga used to whip it like a caddie
Never saw the method to his madness
Some days I would scream, "I can't stand you"
And then he slip up say he wished he never had me
I closed the distance once a nigga moved to Cali'
I wish I never moved to Cali'
I can't even hold a grudge no more
Tough love den made me grow up
City full of niggas that I really don't trust
Lonely and I'm drunk so I think I'll call him up and say
[Chorus]
He used to pray for them better days 'til they came 'round
Hate where I'm headed but I can't slow down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey
Been tryna make a change, I don't know how
Maybe I was meant to take the long way 'round?
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey
[Post-Chorus]
Pray that I feel the same when I come down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down
[Verse 2]
Finally on my own, see me on the road
Been a minute since I visit, hate to see you getting old
And I wished I never blamed you for the things you didn't know
Sometimes I wish I still had you to keep me on my toes
How it feel pops?
To see your young boy getting money, got that deal pops, put a little back up in your pocket
Here pops, I can pay you back for college now for real pops
Finally living like you live
[Chorus]
He used to pray for them better days 'til they came 'round
Hate where I'm headed but I can't slow down
Pray that I feel the same when I come down, hey
Been tryna make a change, I don't know how
Maybe I was meant to take the long way 'round?
Pray that I feel the same when I come down
