Ibn (at the age of 13) was already known in his neighborhood for being one of the youngest dope dealers on the block, after being giving three years to selling rocks, he finally gave it up to try his hand in rap. Ibn not only viewed rap as a less hazardous occupation, but as a way of self expression & communicating his thoughts. Under the title Lil' Fly, Ibn began his career at the age of 16, testing the waters with Don’t Never Test His Pimpin[1] as a start. He eventually became affiliated with DJ Paul & Juicy J of the Triple 6 Mafia & under the wing of the up & coming producers, Slangin' Rocks was produced. Known for his hook, beat, & Fly's dope game tales (which he wrote while he was still a dope dealer), Slangin' Rocks was an instance success. He was featured on Gangsta Blac's underground hit album, Breakin Da Law, & the Three 6 Mafia's first main stream album, Mystic Stylez. He even had his first album release on their label (which was at that time, Prophet Entertainment), Out Da Darkness Of Da Kut in 1994. After leaving the group a year later, Fly put out his diss album, Triple Bitch Mafia, then changed his title to Playa Fly & was featured on Tommy Wright III's On The Run before signing with Super Sigg Records.
In 1996, Playa Fly released his first album with Super Sigg, Fly Shit. The album had songs such as Nappy Hair & Gold Teeth, Da Show, "Crownin' Me", "Flizy Comin' (Triple Bitch Mafia pt.2)" and "Work To Do". It included other artists such as Gangsta Blac, Bill Chill, Criminal Manne, Icy K, D-A-V, Tay-Dog and Playa Posse. This album was also where Fly began his association with producer Blackout.
In 1998, Movin' On was released. Movin On had such tracks as "Situation", "Start Runnin", "Nobody", "Funk-N-Bonk" and "Write Sum Bump". It also featured Gangsta Blac, Bill Chill, Minnie Mae Mafia, and Cool B. Movin' On is generally considered Fly's greatest album. Unfortunately, Bill Chill, Playa Fly's father died shortly before this album's completion.
Just Gettin' It On, a re-release of his underground solo CD (with a bonus track), was released by Diamond in March of 1999. Da Game Owe Me was released in November of the same year, the last album to be released by Super Sigg Records, as Van Siggers was incarcerated and his three album contract expired. Just Gettin' It On had songs like "Gettin' It On", "Just Awaken Shaken", "Triple Bitch Mafia" and "Fuck A Wanna Be". Just Gettin' It On included the Minnie Mae Mafia, Terror, Lil' Yo, Gangsta Blac and the late Bill Chill. Just Gettin' It On was much darker and more violent that Fly's other albums; he spoke about killing, murder and homicide to the remaining members of Three 6. Also, the bonus track, "Fuck A Wanna Be", had a video made to it (under the title "Just A Wanna Be") and is Playa Fly's only music video [2].
Da Game Owe Me is, along with Movin' On, considered Playa Fly's best album. It had such songs as "Ghetto Eyes", "Talkin' Cash", "Damn What Another Say", "Breakin' Da Law", "Get'Em", "Feel Me", "Send For Me" and "N God We Trust". Da Game Owe Me featured Gangsta Blac, Thaistik, Blackout and Terror.

Ohhh, we movin' on
Hey now playa whacha waitin' on
Come on playa we movin' on
Ha-tah get that hatin' gon
Yeah
[Playa Fly]
A mellow level big and better still I'm all in ya face
It is a must that I clutch me so much of this P
And spread it out through Minnie Mae cause that's who runnin' with me
We movin' up and stayin' down maan that all that we know
We walk the top of bean stalks
While hatin jackers below
And if I felt that a step taker sat in my place
I'm takin two and droppin' you and Flizy do it so haste
Maan! You and Reg we was down here so young
And Mr Mark from SPL
2nd graders we hung
As years past, I thought I knew what birthdays meant
But never knew until I recalled all the time that I spent
People think they thankin' bankin' but they only maintain
Before they know they bout to blow it and they losin' the game
Ain't nothin' change but the days and the dollars I make
And shit I take but playa fly gon' keep ahold of some faith
[CHORUS]
[Playa Fly]
2nd round more down than I was before
And like BP I'm on the move because I stay on the go
And got a mean lookin team on the side of my hip
To put some smiles on our face you need to toss us some grip
It's playa ship take a trip all around the world
With me and frost tossin' crowns to the ones that deserve
Full of herb, so superb, and Fly ain waitin' no mo'
I have no patience but you won't playa face in the blow
Cause wastin' time is a crime and it ain't on my mind
Rollin' gold and I'm prized til the day that I'm dyin'
I ain't lyin' cause I got a back and boy that's tuff
I mean they ruffer than the soldiers in the persian gulf
And when we buck you out of luck
Cause it's time to drop
Once we commense it gets intense until the time that we stop
So understand in ya brain
I know the rules to the game
And when a playa say its ova
You'll be feelin' some pain
[CHORUS]
[Playa Fly]
Yeah it's number three and Ibn hopin' that you rollin' with me
As a matter of fact a playa know it cause you show it to P
And all this love for the Fly I'm trappin' deep inside
To motivate and pick me up
When I'm choosin' to glide
As I go from coast to coast again proposin' a toast
But this one here is to my baby that be lovin' me most
So watch me roll across the globe until ya eyes get tired
And I might slow it down when my child retires
I know it's real but it's just a lil mess that I made
Super trill so I'm movin' on perfectin' a trade
And Flizy raised any which a way I'm choosin' to flow
Droppin' bows to the floe' with they face in the snow
So don't oppose or uphold any grudges with me
Fly gon' bring a tone and bone and knock you flat off your feet
When Minnie Mae get in ya face
We ain't comin' to play
We gettin' it on and movin' on and that the way it'a stay
[CHORUS] - 2X
In Playa Fly's song "Movin' On," he talks about leveling up and moving forward with his life, career, and team. He raps about the importance of staying loyal to those who have been with him throughout his journey and how he is constantly on the move, taking risks and building his empire. He emphasizes the need to stay focused on the goal and avoid getting distracted by petty things, such as jealousy or hate. Playa Fly's lyrics can be interpreted as a motivational message to his listeners to stay determined, work hard, and push through the obstacles to reach success.
The chorus of the song, "Ohhh, we movin' on, Hey now playa whacha waitin' on, Come on playa we movin' on, Ha-tah get that hatin' gon, Yeah," is catchy and memorable. The beat is smooth, and the lyrics are relatable, making the song a classic in Southern hip-hop.

As years past, I thought I knew what birthdays meant
As time went on, I thought I understood the significance of birthdays
But never knew until I recalled all the time that I spent
It wasn't until I reminisced about the time I spent with important people in my life that I truly understood
People think they thankin' bankin' but they only maintain
People believe they are making progress, but in reality they are just holding steady
Before they know they bout to blow it and they losin' the game
Before they realize it, they will lose their money and fail
Ain't nothin' change but the days and the dollars I make
Nothing has really changed except for how much money I earn
And shit I take but playa fly gon' keep ahold of some faith
I may face hardships, but I will hold onto my faith
2nd round more down than I was before
I may have fallen down, but I will rise again
And like BP I'm on the move because I stay on the go
Like BP (an oil company), I am always moving and active
And got a mean lookin team on the side of my hip
I have a tough team supporting me
To put some smiles on our face you need to toss us some grip
If you give us some money, we will be happy
It's playa ship take a trip all around the world
It's my journey, come with me as we travel the world
With me and frost tossin' crowns to the ones that deserve
My friend Frost and I will reward and recognize those who deserve it
Full of herb, so superb, and Fly ain waitin' no mo'
We are filled with weed and confidence, and I am not waiting any longer
I have no patience but you won't playa face in the blow
I am impatient but I will not let my emotions cause problems
Cause wastin' time is a crime and it ain't on my mind
I consider wasting time to be bad, and it's not something I focus on
Rollin' gold and I'm prized til the day that I'm dyin'
I am rich and will be valuable until the end of my days
I ain't lyin' cause I got a back and boy that's tuff
I'm not lying, I have a strong support system
I mean they ruffer than the soldiers in the persian gulf
My team is tougher than soldiers in war
And when we buck you out of luck
When we get into an altercation, you'll lose
Cause it's time to drop Once we commense it gets intense until the time that we stop
When we fight, it becomes intense until it stops
So understand in ya brain
Understand in your mind
I know the rules to the game
I understand how to succeed in life
And when a playa say its ova You'll be feelin' some pain
If I say it's over, you will experience pain
Yeah it's number three and Ibn hopin' that you rollin' with me
This is the third song, and I hope you are still supporting me
As a matter of fact a playa know it cause you show it to P
I know that you support me because you show it to me
And all this love for the Fly I'm trappin' deep inside
I am deeply grateful for all the love and support I receive
To motivate and pick me up When I'm choosin' to glide
To motivate and encourage me when I am struggling
As I go from coast to coast again proposin' a toast
As I travel around the country, I will give toasts
But this one here is to my baby that be lovin' me most
This toast is in honor of the person who loves me the most
So watch me roll across the globe until ya eyes get tired
Watch as I travel the world until you get tired of seeing me do it
And I might slow it down when my child retires
I may slow down when I retire from music
I know it's real but it's just a lil mess that I made
I know my success is real, but it's just a small part of my life
Super trill so I'm movin' on perfectin' a trade
I am moving on and improving my craft
And Flizy raised any which a way I'm choosin' to flow
Flizy has supported me in any way possible, and I am following my own path
Droppin' bows to the floe' with they face in the snow
I am throwing punches at my enemies, knocking them to the ground
So don't oppose or uphold any grudges with me
Do not hold a grudge against me or try to fight me
Fly gon' bring a tone and bone and knock you flat off your feet
I will knock you down if we fight
When Minnie Mae get in ya face We ain't comin' to play
When my team is in your face, we mean business
We gettin' it on and movin' on and that the way it'a stay
We are fighting and moving forward, and that's how it's going to be
