Sell her soul to be popular
Popular just to be popular (Uh-uh)
Everybody scream 'cause she popular
She mainstream 'cause she popular
Never be free 'cause she popular"
"Implorando de joelhos para ser popular
Esse é o sonho dela ser popular
Matar qualquer um para ser popular
Vender sua alma para ser popular
Popular apenas para ser popular (Uh-uh)
Todo mundo grita porque ela é popular
Ela é sucesso porque é popular
Nunca está livre porque ela é popular"

"Popular"
I've seen the devil
Down sunset in every place, in every face
Yeah, yeah
Tell me, do you see her? She's livin' her life (Yeah)
Even if she acts like she don't want the limelight (Uh)
But if you knew her (Yeah), she lives a lie
She calls the paparazzi then she acts surprised
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, I know what she needs (Oh-oh)
She just want the fame, I know what she fiends (Oh-oh)
Giv? her a little taste, running back to m? (Oh-oh)
Put it in her veins, pray her soul to keep
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Every night (Every night) she prays to the sky
Flashing lights is all she ever wants to see
Begging on your knees to be popular
That's her dream to be popular
Kill anyone to be popular
Sell her soul to be popular
Popular, just to be popular
Everybody scream 'cause she popular
She mainstream 'cause she popular
Never be free 'cause she popular
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh-uh)
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh-uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular
(Uh-uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular
(Uh-uh)
I know that you see me, time's gone by
Spent my whole life runnin' from your flashin' lights
Try to own it, but I'm alright
You can't take my soul without a fucking fight
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, I know what she needs (Oh-oh)
She just want the fame, I know what she fiends (Oh-oh)
Give her a little taste, running back to me (Oh-oh)
Put it in her veins, pray her soul to keep,
ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Every night (Every night) she prays to the sky
Flashing lights is all she ever wants to see
Begging on her knees to be popular
That's her dream to be popular
Kill anyone to be popular
Sell her soul to be popular
Popular, just to be popular (Uh-uh)
Everybody scream 'cause she popular
She mainstream 'cause she popular
Never be free 'cause she popular
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh-uh)
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh-uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular
(Uh-uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular
(Uh-uh)
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh-uh)
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh-uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular
(Uh-uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular
I'm gettin' money and I'm keepin' it
I'm gettin' cash and I'm keepin' it
Money on top of me, money on top of her
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular
Pop-popular, born to be popular
She in debt, twenty mill', but she run it up
She can never be broke 'cause she popular
Turn the webcam on for the followers
Begging on her knees to be popular
That's her dream to be popular
Kill anyone to be popular
Sell her soul to be popular
Popular just to be popular (Uh-uh)
Everybody scream 'cause she popular
She mainstream 'cause she popular
Never be free 'cause she popular
"Popular"
