Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lil Wayne's song "On Fire" contain references to a woman who is described as being "on fire" and needing to be "put out." The repeated phrase "Mama bad, Mama mean" suggests that this woman is powerful and dangerous, while the comparisons to gasoline and kerosene imply that she is highly combustible. The verses that follow describe the singer's desire for this woman, as well as his awareness of her destructive potential. The lines "I got on my knees and asked my Lord to keep me clear from the devil cause my girl, she's on fire" suggest a conflict between the singer's desire and his need for self-protection, while the references to "back shots" and "rubbing this stick" are clearly sexual in nature.


The chorus of the song, which repeats the lines "She's on fire, put her out / As a matter of fact, take her out / 'Cause she's on fire," reinforces the idea that this woman is both alluring and dangerous. The references to firemen and Hells Angels in the lyrics suggest that the singer is both attracted to and intimidated by this woman's power. The final lines of the song, which again repeat the phrase "She's on fire," suggest that the singer has given in to his desire despite the risks involved.


Overall, the lyrics to "On Fire" suggest a conflicted and dangerous relationship between the singer and a woman who is described as being both irresistible and explosive. The repeated references to fire and heat reinforce the idea that this woman is both intense and uncontrollable, and the singer's explicit descriptions of his desire for her contrast sharply with his awareness of the risks involved.

Rebirth was slept on because people weren’t ready for a rapper to do a rock album. It’s a classic

@sirbigpappy

At least this song and prom queen anyway

@DuckDodgers345

Wayne wasn't the first rapper to do a rock album.

This a fact when I say absolutely no hiphop artist will ever be as good as Wayne was in his prime. We will never see this again and i’m so honored to have seen it from the beginning. His music created memories for my teen years.
