Cam'ron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uhh Wave your hands man Yo I'm looking for a hoe
Found a hoe and the hoe ended up being a hoe
My mans Zeek always told me a hoe's gon' be a hoe let a hoe fly
Let the birds fucking fly let 'em, fly right Zeek

Fly away

Yo Holla Yo
I need a girl that can sing like Selena, ass like Trina
Tits like Janet, get beat like Tina (Have you seen her)
I mean cake like Oprah chauffeur
Keep the toaster and a Holster (Tell me have you seen her)
I did yeah I found one a little brown one
And she down son Plus she pushed a Beamer
I should've knew something was up from the jump
When I passed ma da blunt da bitch was a Steamer

I ain't care I had weed to blow
I ain't feed da hoe We took a trip to Argentina
I don't know why a guy would pause
I went raw inside the whore, I thought she would be cleaner
The dirty bitch burnt me that concerned
Now I'm thirsty I'm looking for her with the Nina
I'm a kill her when I see her so
Tell me have you seen her, tell me have you seen her

[Chorus: x 2]
It be them girls with the pretty face and the pretty rides
Pretty thighs but what about they insides
And that bitch is a liar and Dyke
I took the condom off now its on fire tonight

[Verse 2]
It's like treat her like a prostitute (prostitute)
Don't treat no girly good don't ever show her yo loot
Girly see you ridin' want to roll in da Coupe
See you a ice cream want you to throw her a scoop
I don't get mad tell her to blow on my flute
Before the I-E you got to throw in da group groupie

Sad I read it ooh wee I'm glad you did it
Sue me what you mad I said it
Put front, back side to side
Never let a broke ass female ride

I learned that down south, niggas in Texas
Before I tricked her I buy bigger Biggatses
Imagine me get a biggatses get her a Lexus
You figuring reckless maybe I'm sexist
So back up let me strap up
Before you give Cam that clap up I'm gone have to clack up

[Talking]

It be them girls with the pretty face and the pretty rides
Pretty thighs but what about they insides [Repeat: x 4]





[Chorus: x 2]

Overall Meaning

The song "On Fire Tonight" by Cam'ron is a commentary on the lifestyle of a rapper who seeks out promiscuous women for sex without care for the consequences. The opening lines of the song describe the artist's search for a woman who ultimately turns out to be unfaithful or "a hoe" in his eyes. The lyrics continue to describe a desire for a woman who possesses certain physical attributes, such as "ass like Trina" and "tits like Janet," but ultimately objectifies and dehumanizes her by likening her to a toaster or a firearm.


The chorus repeats the warning that attractive women with pretty faces and outward appearances may not necessarily have virtuous personalities or intentions, and that the singer is potentially risking physical or emotional harm by engaging with them. The second verse continues in this vein, urging men to treat women like prostitutes and to never let broke or financially unstable women into their lives. The lyrics depict a cynical and cavalier attitude towards sex that contrasts with the romantic overtones often presented in popular music.
