What's the matter with your life?
Is the poverty bringing you down?
Is the mailman jerking you 'round?
Did he put your million dollar check in someone else's box?

Tell me, what's the matter with your world?
Was it a boy when you wanted a girl?
Don't you know straight hair ain't got no curl?
Life it ain't real funky unless it's got that pop, dig it

Pop life, everybody needs a thrill
Pop life, we all got a space to fill
Pop life, everybody can't be on top
But life it ain't real funky unless it's got that pop, dig it

Tell me, what's that underneath your hair?
Is there anybody living there?
You can't get over, if you say you just don't care
Show me a boy who stays in school and I'll show you a boy aware, dig it

Pop life, everybody needs a thrill
Pop life, we all got a space to fill
Pop life, everybody can't be on top
Life it ain't real funky unless it's got that pop, dig it

What you putting in your nose?
Is that where all your money goes?
The river of addiction flows, you think it's hot
But there won't be no water when the fire blows, dig it

Pop life, everybody needs a thrill
Pop life, we all got a space to fill
Pop life, everybody wants to be on top
Life it ain't real funky unless it's got that pop

Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life, we all got a space to fill
Pop life, everybody can't be on top
Life it ain't real funky baby unless it's got that pop, dig it
