about

Epic Mr. Eric (CIRE) approached me with this collab saying that other rappers had told him they weren't able to write on the beat. I tried... and we did "Fluttercity".

One thing that was funny about it was he was OUT of the country when the song hit EQD, so he couldn't really respond to comments at the time, so I tried to field questions and downloads (which is why Fluttercity ended up on my EQBeats page)

Another interesting thing was, there was a Korean fan who decided to translate the song into well.. Korean. That was kind of fantastic.

lyrics

Gotta cautionary tale that you wanna hear.
Bout a filly really shy pretty filled with fear.

Put up in a pretty tough situation.
Made to take trip that caused rough hesitation.

Anyone could've done it with without much work.
But then again, ANYONE WASN'T JUST HER.

To MUSTER the courage, more-than-enough SIR.
to even THINK to do it, yo she was UNSURE.

But then again it's a family affair.
And if she - didn't attend, there'd be nobody there.

So Long story short, the result wasn't pretty.
Imma tell you 'bout Fluttershy in the city.



Started with a letter from a distant relative.
and that this elderly mare, had little to live.

With no heirs to care, she had little to give.
But remembered all the kindness Fluttershy did.

In a bid to commend her for all her kind work.
She invited the filly to stand beside her.

A MINOR request, at best many kind words.
But guess what? Fluttershy'd rather DIE FIRST.

Don't get it twisted, she loved the old mare.
But at the time she helped, she was just-not-there.

And by there, I mean the big city.
The noise, and the buildings, & the people moving quickly.

And strictly-speaking, Flutter's a country girl.
In a way Canterlot is like Disneyworld.

And Not a dizzy world, spinning like Manehattan.
Where if you play the game wrong, anything can happen.

And happen, things DID to her.
After stepping out the Cab, she clipped the curb.

And ran into a vendor, sending his wares tumbling.
Too scared to say she's sorry, she's just mumbling.

She got lost, then ac-costed by a Diamond Dog.
Who was -tryna pawn -watch that he lied he 'bought'.

And he GOT 20 bits out of Flutter.
He thanked her for time, as the watch starts to sputter.

So she tried to spread her wings and just fly away.
Then Police said today wasn't flying day.

She'd pay a fine if she flew out of order.
But if she wants, she could take a cab to the border.

And this sordid affair only got worse.
The gift that she brought she had dropped in her purse.

She forgot. So she didn't have it, ~ she was getting frantic
Now emphatically manic, she was having panic attacks.

DAMN...

What's a girl to do.

Lost in a city you feel's spitting on you.
And the truth is - any other Pony would give up now.

But beneath Fluttershy is a tough gal.

So she cried, then she dried her eyes.
And she asked for directions from the nearest guy.

And Rhyme Flow took her straight to the Mare's Front door.
It's anti-climactic but then why would you want more?
