"If I'm Lyin, I'm Flyin" is a song by American rapper Kodak Black. It was released on September 28, 2018 as the lead single from his second studio album Dying to Live (2018).[1][2]

Composition[]

The song finds Kodak Black rapping about his life from being on the streets and in jail to becoming a successful rapper ("I can't let these niggas knock me off my pimpin' / God sat me down and talked to me I listened"), and "ruminates on his fallen homies" as well.[2][3][4]

Critical reception[]

Patrick Montes of Hypebeast wrote that the song "pairs his unique, charismatic flows with syrupy, bass-heavy melodies."[2]

Music video[]

An accompanying music video was released with the single. Directed by Spencer Hord, the video shows Kodak Black enjoying his freedom after his release from jail, flying on a private jet and reuniting with family.[3][4]
