Lloyd Banks feat. 50 Cent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fire!

I make it hotter
friction turns to fire
You're what I desire
I'm coming to get you, girl

That's right, that's right, it's on tonight
You're just my type, you're what I like
I bring that heat, you heard me right
Everywhere I go, go, let's go!

Something new, it's another episode
Music bumping, sweat dripping on the danceflo'
I like it when shorty get to backing it back
When she do it like that, I don't know how to act

Now work it, go ahead grind it on me, that's perfect
I'll pay to play if it's worth it
My phone when you want me you can chirp it
Now get to work it

Let me take these bricks and break 'em down
If you want I can serve 'em by the pound
Shorty know she's got what I wanna flip
Baby girl tell me you can handle it

Well, if you want it let's go
I got that fire (So hot I burn it down)
Act like you already know
I got that fire ('Cause I'm the flyest chick around)
You want it, it's fire, I got it, that fire
So I might ignite ya, it's fire, it's fire

I burn it down on stage, I make it hot
'Til the Fire Marshalls come shut down the spot
I have the club jam packed every time I rock
These other niggas ain't got the style I got
I go back to the basics and break it all the way all the way down
You can hate it but face it B.I.G. and 2Pac just ain't around
Everywhere you go, there I go, I'm 50 Cent
Ghetto star by the bar I get you bent
You wanna party, let's party, you wanna freak be a freak
You wanna creep, we can creep tell me where should we meet so you can

take these bricks and break 'em down
If you want I can serve 'em by the pound
Shorty know she's got what I wanna flip
Baby girl tell me you can handle it

Well, if you want it let's go
I got that fire (So hot I burn it down)
Act like you already know
I got that fire ('Cause I'm the flyest chick around)
You want it, it's fire, I got it, that fire
So I might ignite ya, it's fire, it's fire

Now are you really ready
I said, are you really ready
I make the temperature rise, now don't be surprised
I have the ice on, stuntin' heavy
I got a helluva flow, you should already know
Sold over 30 million records already
It's the third time around, you know how I get down
I'm hands down, pound for pound, the best around

Now work it, go ahead grind it on me, that's perfect
I'll pay to play if it's worth it




My phone when you want me you can chirp it
Now get to work it

Overall Meaning

The song "On Fire" is a captivating invitation into a steamy, club scene where the heat is tangible, and the dance floor is blazing. Lloyd Banks, featuring 50 Cent, masterfully describes the atmosphere that is created by the seductive mix of music, movement, and bodies. He presents himself as the ultimate party starter who takes pride not only in his lyrical prowess but in his ability to bring the heat, the fire that causes friction and raises the temperature in the room. The song's chorus is a declaration of this, "I got that fire, so hot I burn it down, ' cause I'm the flyest chick around," a claim that sets him apart from anyone else on the dance floor.


The song's verses are a testament to the rapper's creative genius, as he describes in vivid detail how he makes the club go wild, how he breaks down bricks, and serves them by the pound while urging the girls to grind and back it up. The song's irresistible beat and Lloyd Banks' flow allow the listener to envision the club's ambiance, the flashing lights, the drink's flowing, and the tantalizing movement of the bodies.
