Overall Meaning

The opening line of Popcaan's "Fry Yiy" sets the tone for a raucous, aggressive dancehall song. "Ah di whole place ah say fry yiy!" he declares, meaning that everyone is declaring "fry yiy," a Jamaican slang term that can be taken to mean "nonsense" or "rubbish." From there, Popcaan launches into a series of macho declarations and taunts, bragging about his skills as a lyricist ("Some bwoy fi write some hit song and stop cry"), top gun ("If yuh diss Mobay ah di rifle yuh dead by"), and ladies' man ("Ah me ah tek off yuh girlfriend thong dem"). Throughout the song, he shows no fear, declaring that he doesn't need friends ("Me nuh beg friend"), and that anyone who crosses him will suffer the consequences ("Send fi me gun now/Inna sec it ah reach").


When Popcaan says "Gaza run di planet me no tell lie," he is referring to Vybz Kartel's Portmore Empire crew, of which Popcaan was once a member. "Gaza" is a reference to Vybz Kartel's nickname, and "Portmore Empire" was the collective name for his crew which included artists like Popcaan, Jah Vinci, and Gaza Slim. While there are some reports that the song is aimed at another Jamaican artist, Aidonia, there is no definitive evidence one way or the other. It's possible that Popcaan's goal was simply to create an energetic track that would get dancers moving and speakers shaking.
