What's the matter with ur life?
Is the poverty bringin' u down?
Is the mailman jerkin' u 'round?
Did he put ur million dollar check in someone else's box?

Tell me, what's the matter with ur world
Was it a boy when u wanted a girl? (Was it a boy when u wanted a girl?)
Don't u know straight hair ain't got no curl (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 2 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 ur hair?
Is there anybody livin' there? (anybody livin' there?)
U can't get over if u say u just don't care (don't care)
Show me a boy who stays in school
And I'll show u a boy aware!
Dig it

Pop life
Everybody can't be on top
But life it ain't real funky

What u putting in ur nose?
Is that where all ur money goes? (Is that where all ur money goes?)
The river of addiction flows
U think it's hot, but there won't be no water
When the fire blows
Dig it
