Swagger and Survival: The Duality of 'Demeanor' by Pop Smoke and Dua Lipa

Pop Smoke's 'Demeanor,' featuring Dua Lipa, is a vibrant blend of swagger, street life, and self-assuredness. The song opens with Pop Smoke's signature deep voice, setting a tone of confidence and bravado. The term 'baba treesha' is slang for a promiscuous woman, and Pop Smoke's flirtation with her underscores his charismatic and dominant personality. The repeated line 'Shorty said she like my demeanor' highlights how his confident attitude is attractive to others. The mention of being 'off the perky geekin'' refers to the influence of Percocet, a nod to the party lifestyle often depicted in hip-hop culture.

The second verse delves deeper into Pop Smoke's life experiences and the harsh realities of his environment. Lines like 'eleven dollars an hour ain't enough to live' and 'I'ma go in every store and I'ma swipe this shit' reflect the economic struggles and the lengths one might go to survive. The imagery of turning Air Force 1's into Gucci shoes and Timberlands into Yeezy boosts symbolizes a transformation from humble beginnings to a more luxurious lifestyle. This verse also touches on themes of loyalty and resilience, with references to his friends and the challenges they face together.

Dua Lipa's contribution adds a layer of female empowerment and allure. Her lines 'Female alpha and I practice what I preach, I devour' and 'You can touch with your eyes only' emphasize her dominant and confident demeanor. The phrase 'je ne sais quoi energy' suggests an indescribable charm that captivates those around her. The collaboration between Pop Smoke and Dua Lipa creates a dynamic interplay of masculine and feminine energies, each asserting their dominance and charisma. The repeated refrain 'My demeanor is meaner than yours' serves as a bold declaration of their self-assuredness and unique presence.
