Demeanor Lyrics
[Intro: Pop Smoke]
Oh, oh!
Oh (Baba treesha)
Oh!
[Chorus: Pop Smoke]
I'm flirting with your baba treesha
Shorty say she like my demeanor (Demeanor)
And she look like a eater (A eater)
I'm off the Perky geeking (Geeking)
I'm flirting with your baba treesha
Shorty said she like my demeanor (Demeanor)
And she look like a eater (A eater)
I'm off the Perky geeking (Geeking)
[Post-Chorus: Pop Smoke]
Wait, wait, oh, wait
Oh, oh
[Verse 1: Pop Smoke]
Fishbowl, send shots, bend blocks in the back (Yeah)
Earthquakes and selling cracks (No way), all my n!ggas into that
You send a shot, we send it back, all facts, no cap (None)
Put my hat to the back (Back), a hundred thousand in the bag
Look, eleven dollars a hour ain't enough to live (No)
So I'ma go in every store and I'ma swipe this sh!t (Yeah, yeah)
They try to lock a n!gga up and I'm like, "F**k a bid" (F**k a bid)
'Cause either way, mommy still gone love her kid (She gone love him)
I just took a twenty from the city, they like, "Who is you?" (Who the hell?)
A lot of n!ggas talking sh!t that they don't really do (Ah, yeah)
I'm 'bout to turn my Air Force 1's into a Gucci shoe (Yeah, yeah)
I'm 'bout to turn my Timberlands into a Yeezy Boost (Oh)
My president black, bandana is blue (You know what I'm saying?)
Diamonds dripping, got me glistening like I came out the pool
I'm so exotic like I came out the zoo (No)
But I shot out the coupe (No)
I got a scope with a clear eye view, woo (Yeah)
[Chorus: Pop Smoke]
I'm flirting with your baba treesha
Shorty said she like my demeanor (Demeanor)
And she look like a eater (A eater)
I'm off the Perky geeking (Geeking)
I'm flirting with your baba treesha
Shorty said she like my demeanor (Demeanor)
And she look like a eater (A eater)
I'm off the Perky geeking (Geeking)
[Post-Chorus: Pop Smoke & Dua Lipa]
Wait, wait, oh, wait (My demeanor is meaner than yours)
Oh, oh
[Verse 2: Dua Lipa]
Female alpha
And I practice what I preach
I devour
Tell me, can you take the heat?
You can touch with your eyes only
I know you like what you see
That "Je ne sais quoi" energy
Baby, get on your knees
You can't say Pop without Smoke
So fill up your lungs, my diamonds'll make you choke
You like the way I move, my demeanor is meaner than yours
So clap for the encore
You can't say Pop without Smoke
So fill up your lungs, my diamonds'll make you choke
You like the way I move, my demeanor is meaner than yours
So clap for the encore
[Chorus: Pop Smoke]
I'm flirting with your baba treesha
Shorty said she like my demeanor (Demeanor)
And she look like a eater (A eater)
I'm off the Perky geeking (Geeking)
I'm flirting with your baba treesha
Shorty said she like my demeanor (Demeanor)
And she look like a eater (A eater)
I'm off the Perky geeking (Geeking)
[Post-Chorus: Pop Smoke & Dua Lipa]
Wait, wait, oh, wait (My demeanor is meaner than yours)
Oh, oh
Demeanor Lyrics Meaning
"Demeanor" by Pop Smoke featuring Dua Lipa is a song that explores themes of attraction, confidence, lifestyle, and individuality. Pop Smoke's verses reflect his experiences and outlook on life, while Dua Lipa adds a bold and assertive perspective in her verse. The chorus and post-chorus sections emphasize the attraction and chemistry between the two artists. Let's break down the meaning of each paragraph.
[Intro]
The song starts with an energetic and catchy intro where Pop Smoke exclaims "Oh!" multiple times, creating anticipation for the rest of the track. "Baba treesha" is a term that's likely used for rhyming and rhythmic purposes, but it doesn't have a specific meaning in this context.
[Chorus]
In the chorus, Pop Smoke raps about flirting with someone's "baba treesha," suggesting he's attracted to this person. The term "baba treesha" is likely a slang or playful way of referring to someone, possibly a woman, although its exact meaning is open to interpretation. He mentions that the person is interested in his demeanor, which suggests that his confident and charismatic attitude is attractive to them. The reference to being "off the Perky geekin'" suggests he might be under the influence of drugs, enhancing his confidence and boldness.
[Post-Chorus]
This section of the song serves as a transition between the chorus and the first verse. It's more of a musical interlude, creating a sense of anticipation for what's to come.
[Verse 1]
In this verse, Pop Smoke touches on several topics. He mentions engaging in criminal activities such as selling drugs and retaliating when provoked with violence. He emphasizes the harsh reality of needing to make money, even if it means resorting to illegal means. The lines "eleven dollars a hour ain't enough to live" highlight the struggle to make ends meet through legal employment. He also talks about shoplifting and evading the consequences of his actions. Pop Smoke's lyrics often depict the gritty side of street life.
The verse also contains references to fashion, where he plans to turn his Air Force 1 sneakers into a Gucci shoe and his Timberlands into Yeezy Boosts. This indicates his desire for luxury and status symbols.
The mention of "my president black" likely alludes to Barack Obama, the first Black president of the United States, and the pride associated with his presidency.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the theme of Pop Smoke flirting with someone and highlights the person's attraction to his demeanor and appearance. Again, the mention of being "off the Perky geekin'" suggests an altered state of mind.
[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus repeats the word "Wait" for emphasis and rhythm.
[Verse 2]
Dua Lipa takes over the second verse and adds a female perspective to the song. She asserts her confidence and dominance, referring to herself as a "female alpha." She's not afraid to be assertive and take control, contrasting Pop Smoke's confident demeanor.
Dua Lipa also plays with themes of attraction and seduction. She implies that her presence and energy are irresistible, encouraging someone to get on their knees as a sign of submission. The line "You can't say Pop without Smoke" is a clever reference to Pop Smoke's stage name, suggesting that their collaboration is a perfect match.
The verse ends with an invitation to applaud for an encore, indicating that she's putting on a captivating show or performance.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the themes of attraction, demeanor, and the effects of drugs, maintaining the song's overall vibe.
[Post-Chorus]
The final post-chorus section repeats the earlier post-chorus, emphasizing the contrast between Pop Smoke's demeanor and Dua Lipa's meaner, more assertive attitude.
Overall, "Demeanor" is a song that exudes confidence, swagger, and sensuality. It explores themes of attraction, criminal lifestyle, and self-assuredness, with Dua Lipa's verse adding a unique perspective to the track. The catchy chorus and energetic beat make it a compelling addition to Pop Smoke's discography.
