About

“Popped a Molly, I’m Sweatin” is a lyric from the 2012 rap single “All Gold Everything” by Trinidad James, indicating that the speaker has taken a dose of MDMA and is beginning to feel the effects. The line is typically used to caption images in which the subject appears to be perspiring or dancing to music.

Origin

"All Gold Everything" was released on Trinidad James' debut album Don't Be S.A.F.E. on October 16th, 2012. On the following day, the music video was uploaded by YouTuber TheTrilllMusic, which received over 5 million views and 11,500 comments over the next four months.



Etymology

"Molly" is a slang term for a powder or crystal form of the drug methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA), which implies a higher level of purity to the pressed pill form known as ecstasy. On December 18th, 2003, Urban Dictionary[4] user Eckstahsee submitted an entry for "MDMA," which used the word "molly" describing pure MDMA in capsule form.
