It's a Prince song. I like it because many lines have personal meaning for me.
For all who are un-Princed:
Poplife
What's the matter with your life?
Is the poverty bringing U down?
Is the mailman jerking U 'round?
Did he put your million dollar check in someone else's box?
Tell me
Mm, what's the matter with your world?
Was it a boy when U wanted a girl?
Don't U know straight hair ain't got no curl
Life - it ain't real funky unless it's got that pop
Tell me, what's that underneath your hair?
Is there anybody living there?
Can't get over if U say U just don't care Show me a boy who stays in school
And I'll show U a boy aware
What cha puttin' in your nose?
Is that where all your money goes?
The river of addiction flows
U think it's hot, but there won't be no water when the fire blows
Pop life - Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life - We all got a space 2 fill
Pop life - Everybody wants 2 be on top
Life - it ain't real funky unless it's got that pop
