Original lyrics
ENI don't like labels
I wore them too long
They tried to name me
But I stayed strong
I was born this way
No costume to hide
They point, they whisper
I keep my pride
They want a story
They want a scene
They make me into
Something obscene
But I know better
I know my name
I walk these streets
Still feeling the same
I'm Pop, yes, I am
I'm Pop, yes, I am
I wish it were different
I wish it were true
Pop for my talent
Not talk in a room
I'm Pop, yes, I am
Just me, and that's you
This little town
Knows my face too well
They trade their stories
Like a hollow spell
Few know my past
Few know my truth
They want the rumor
More than the proof
They judge, then laugh
Then turn away
But I won't bend
I won't betray
They want a story
They want a scene
They make me into
Something obscene
But I know better
I know my name
I walk these streets
Still feeling the same
I'm Pop, yes, I am
I'm Pop, yes, I am
I wish it were different
I wish it were true
Pop for my talent
Not talk in a room
I'm Pop, yes, I am
Just me, and that's you
Let them be bitter
Let them look hard
Jealousy stains
Every broken card
I don't need their praise
I don't need their scheme
I only need room
To live my dream
I'm Pop, yes, I am
I'm Pop, yes, I am
I wish it were different
I wish it were true
Pop for my talent
Not talk in a room
I'm Pop, yes, I am
Just me, and that's you
