chorus:

Situation lookin' critical, everybody lookin pittiful,
it ain't what you say or when you dissin, it's the principle,
some people say I'm crazy, I ain't crazy, I'm just ignant,
and I don't get the props that I deserve because I'm local.

Verse 1:

No mo procrastination, this time I rock the nation,
from bustaz depression, to fli-zy inflation,
so peep the situation, its havoc corruption,
you bustaz should have straightened up, before self-destruction,
these lesson that I'm learnin, don't keep my body from burnin,
it ain't bout Fly pri-zops or bout finacial earnins,
this love up in my hez-art gonna shine bright like a sti-zar,
and just because I'm local, don't mean I can't go fi-zar,
and this is on the bi-zar, put ignorant wit ramus,
this left Fly to the t and Ill be damned if I ain't famous,
grandma may think Ill ludicrous she say I'm full of foolishness,
I'm lazy, and crazy but won't lose points of coolness,
mo macho than savage and livin so lavish,
the cream of the cri-zop this rap game Fly grabs it,
comin so tragic, take measures that drastic,
to victor each battle, until I reach my casket.

(CHOURUS)

Verse 2:

I went from little boy crawlin straight to big boy ballin,
and coach another hustla as seem this was my callin,
you lookin full of pitty, and hurtin like this city,
no jackball is stallin, Fly get to the nity-grity,
while you just sit and wonder, Fly take this nation under,
with Mafia Many Mi-zade, with much time to punder,
with skills of a hunter, and flawless like nazerin,
not flogg-o like tardo, cause Flizy just ain't havin it,
we need some reconstruction, foundations full of lovin
from fathers and granmas to aunties and cousins,
and still lil IBN thuggin and drugin ain't gonna help this,
my private invitation, to take my mind from conflict,
I'm fruitful like sunkist, dismiss you like a schoolhouse,
no treason is needed, before we take you izout,
this here without a di-zout, I pity the situation,
condition is critical, you headed for damnation.

(CHOURUS)

My life was kinda heckted, nobody would respect me,
Flys pockets had an echo, lil vadaz always check me,
my kinfolks movin getty, and boomin out the chevy,
the young is where we hi-zung, they felt Fly wasn't ready,
but hagnin down in sodas, so quick my mind grew older,
I started pushin products, stayed higher than the rollers,
with much love for dojah, witch took all my profits
from ass in to ass out, yo ass off I knocked it,
I dodged all the floggers, and stayed bout my dollars,
this mobbin ain't starvin but damn sure want to holler,
Fly bizness I'm gonna handle, and wear you like sandle,
and buck like alexander, and light you like a candle,
I spread my p like wildflower, and try to tear yo soul up,
like 16 century holdup, before Fly make you fold up,
Fly got me pimpin sold up, but bustaz don't accept it,
you need to drop my pri-zops, you locol jokaz critics.

(CHORUS)

Too many double faces, in unexpected places,
who ran they mouth to mi-zuch, prepare for body braces,
with no one here to save ya, except the one who made ya,
you wit then don't test us, I say you rather prey bra,
you must know no betta, you playa hate so cleva,
you lemons reach my level not ni-zow not neva,
I wrote lil Fly a letter, and read it to his fizace,
and let that Many Mizade, you local vocal nutcase,
complete this integration, and max irratication,
of those who try to block me, from Fli-zy destinaion,
a modern day plantation, is where them crackers trapped us,
them bustaz took our culture, them bloody Dego bastards,
but Flizy in rebelous, with rightoeusness to tell ya,
you take this lit and run wit it, or sit and be a failier,




and Fly refuse to answer, to iligetiment bastards,
them G.O.D and Flizy, gonna bring natural disaster.

Overall Meaning

The song "Situation" by Fly is a commentary on the state of society and the struggles of being a local artist. The chorus emphasizes the criticality of the situation and how everyone looks pitiful. Fly asserts that it's not about what you say or when you diss someone, but it's about the principle of the matter. He also notes that people may think he's crazy, but he's just ignorant and doesn't get the recognition he deserves because he's a local artist.


In the first verse, Fly discusses how he's learned from his mistakes and is determined to make a difference. He acknowledges the corruption and self-destruction in society and encourages others to straighten up. Fly is motivated by the love in his heart, which he believes can shine brightly like a star.

The second verse touches upon the struggles Fly faced growing up, including a lack of respect and money. He talks about how he started selling products to make money but was hindered by his love for marijuana. Fly faced many obstacles but managed to avoid trouble and stay focused on his business. He encourages others to drop their negative criticism and join him in maximizing their potential. Fly warns those who try to block him from reaching his destination that he and G.O.D will bring about natural disaster.
