Situation
Don Toliver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Ayy, Donnie, can I ride wit' you?" Dependin' on your playlist
I'm only hittin' her if she bad, it gotta be a A-List
I'm tryna stop but I can't relax, I'm warming up to face it
Two-stepped in that party
Backstage, Jeff Hardy, put her in that choke hold, Worldstar
Sound like a new car when I bought it
Now that I got mine, I sit back and reminisce
Please don't judge me, I pop pills like M&M's
Better stack my M&M's, smoke weed with my kin and them
No joke, Rakim and them, and I like my denim ripped
And I just arrived and dined in LA, R.I.P. to Nip
So I had to pour a four, R.I.P. to Pimp
I know y'all want my chips, but I still got all my dip
Remember that .38 was still here on my hip
Only God know how I live
Only God know how I live (yeah)
I'm in this situation, I'ma hit that boy with the spaces
"Ayy, Donnie, can I ride wit' you?" Dependin' on your playlist
I'm only hittin' her if she bad, it gotta be a A-List
I'm tryna stop but I can't relax, I'm warming up to face it
Two-stepped in that party
Backstage, Jeff Hardy, put her in that choke hold, Worldstar
Sound like a new car when I bought it
I always dreamed 'bout this lifestyle and happiness
Now that I got mine, I sit back and reminisce
I'm in this situation, I'ma hit that boy with the spaces
"Ayy, Donnie, can I ride wit' you?" Dependin' on your playlist
I'm only hittin' her if she bad, it gotta be a A-List
I'm tryna stop but I can't relax, I'm warming up to face it
Two-stepped in that party
Backstage, Jeff Hardy, put her in that choke hold, Worldstar
Sound like a new car when I bought it
I always dreamed 'bout this lifestyle and happiness
Now that I got mine, I sit back and reminisce
The lyrics to Don Toliver's song Situation tell the story of a man who is living his best life but is struggling to overcome his vices. He is in a situation where he feels the need to defend himself with violence, as indicated by the line "I'ma hit that boy with the spaces". He also references his love for music and his tendency to only be interested in women who are considered to be A-List. He is trying to stop indulging in his negative habits, but he feels powerless against them, hence the line "I'm tryna stop but I can't relax, I'm warming up to face it".
The second verse starts with a reference to a party where he two-stepped and got backstage. He then references Jeff Hardy, a professional wrestler, and putting a woman in a chokehold, which was eventually posted on Worldstar. He then talks about buying a new car and achieving the lifestyle and happiness that he had always dreamed of. The bridge references his use of drugs, his love for music, and his fashion sense of liking ripped denim. He also pays homage to the late rapper Nipsey Hussle and Pimp C. The song ends with Don expressing his gratitude for everything he has accomplished but acknowledging that only God knows how he lives.
