What's Popin?*
The story that goes untold
politicians are bought and sold
At least one would sell their soul
for cash-new bills or old
So tell me what's pop-in
these gangs we're not stop-in
kids like flies dead are drop-in
ain't even safe go shop-in
these rappers using Words of Mass Distortion
blowing things out of portion
how much more will it take
before the people will awake
So tell me what's pop-in
these gangs we're not stop-in
kids like flies dead are drop-in
ain't even safe to go shop-in
