His first recorded performance was on Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz album Kings of Crunk in 2002, after which he released his debut album, M.I.A.M.I., in 2004. He has since released 2006's El Mariel, 2007's The Boatlift and 2009's Rebelution, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200.
Pitbull's breakout hit was the Lil Jon collabo "Culo" produced by Lil Jon & The Diaz Brothers. In addition, Pitbull has also released several mixtapes, the most recent being Unleashed Volume 6, which are mostly composed of freestyles and remixes of popular rap music. Both thematically and musically, the 25-year-old is seen as a modern-day equivalent of earlier Miami rappers such as the 2 Live Crew and Afro-Rican. It was in fact former 2 Live Crew leader Luther Campbell who gave the up and coming rapper his first chance to shine. Apart from Crunk, his album shows clear influences from both Miami bass and freestyle. In addition to his musical work, Pitbull has also been featured in The Source expressing his stance on freedom fighter revolutionary leader Fidel Castro and he was also part of their Unsigned Hype Section. He contributed to an essay published in the New York Post that criticized freedom fighter revolutionary Che Guevara's iconization in clothing and other areas. In video games, Pitbull's hit single "Dammit Man" produced by Jim Jonsin is featured in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, and he also plays himself in the upcoming video game based on the 1980's Scarface. His super hit "Toma" is featured in WWE Day of Reckoning 2. Also, an album cut, "Back Up" produced by The Diaz Brothers, is featured on the EA game Fight Night: Round 2. In late 2005 he re-released "M.I.A.M.I." as a separate charting entry, whilst his "Welcome to the 305" mixtape was released. In January 2006 he guest-starred in UPN's South Beach. Also in 2006 he recorded "Nuestro Himno" in collaboration with Wyclef Jean, Carlos Ponce, and Olga Tañón.
The first single from El Mariel has been released, entitled "Bojangles". The album, slated for an October 31st release, will feature guest artists Lil Jon, Ken-Y of Rakim y Ken-Y, Rick Ross, Bun B and the Ying Yang Twins. El Mariel will lead up to Pitbull's 2007 release of an all-Spanish album entitled "Armando", which will have an Afro-Cuban feel[1]

Pitbull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know the roof on fire
We gon' boogie oogie oggi, jiggle, wiggle and dance
Like the roof on fire
We gon' drink drinks and take shots until we fall out
Like the roof on fire
Now baby give a booty naked, take off all your clothes
And light the roof on fire
I'm on fire
I tell her baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I'm a fireball
Fireball
I saw, I came, I conquered
Or should I say, I saw, I conquered, I came?
They say the Chico on fire and he no liar
While y'all slippin' he runnin' the game
Now big bang boogie
Get that kitty little noogie
In a nice nice little shade
I gave Suzie a little pat up on the booty
And she turned around and said
Walk this way
I was born in a flame
Mama said that everyone would know my name
I'm the best you've ever had
If you think I'm burning out, I'm never am
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Fireball
Fireball
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But I don't care what y'all say
'Cause as the world turns, y'all boys gon' learn
That Chico right here don't play
That boy's from the bottom, bottom of the map
M.I.A U.S.A
I gave Suzie a little pat up on the booty
And she turned around and said
Walk this way
I was born in a flame
Mama said that everyone would know my name
I'm the best you've ever had
If you think I'm burning out, I'm never am
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire

In Pitbull's song Fireball, the lyrics describe a party atmosphere, where the energy is high and everyone is dancing and drinking until they fall out. The first verse of the song indicates that the party is so hot that it feels like the roof is on fire. Pitbull encourages people to let loose and enjoy the moment by taking shots and dancing. In the chorus, he emphasizes that he is on fire and compares himself to a fireball.
In the second verse, Pitbull describes his rise to fame, referring to himself as Chico, and says that he is running the game while others are slipping. He mentions giving a girl a little pat on the booty and her responding by saying, "walk this way." This is likely a reference to the classic Aerosmith song of the same name, which is about a woman who hears music and follows it, much like how the girl in Fireball is following Pitbull's lead.
The bridge of the song repeats the phrase "I'm on fire" several times, emphasizing the energy and excitement of the party. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and Pitbull declaring himself a fireball.
Line by Line Meaning
Mr. Worldwide to infinity
I am Pitbull, and I am the king of the world
You know the roof on fire
The atmosphere is sizzling, and the energy is explosive
We gon' boogie oogie oggi, jiggle, wiggle and dance
We will dance and shake our bodies with enthusiasm and passion
Like the roof on fire
We will move our bodies to the rhythm as if the atmosphere is on fire
We gon' drink drink and take shots until we fall out
We will consume alcohol in copious amounts until we are unable to carry on with our revelries
Now baby give a booty naked, take off all your clothes, and light the roof on fire
Now I ask that you strip naked and light up the moment with the same zeal as the atmosphere
Tell her baby baby baby baby I'm in fire
Convey to that special someone that my energy is contagious and my passion is unbridled
I tell her baby baby baby I'm a fireball
I notify that special someone that I am a force to be reckoned with, with uncontainable fiery passion
I saw, I came, I conquered
I approached, I succeeded, and I triumphed
Or should I say, I saw I conquered, I came
Or perhaps, I observed, I achieved success, and I arrived at my victory
They say the Chico on fire and he no liar
People say that I am ablaze and nothing short of the truth
While y'all slippin' he runnin' the game
While others are falling behind, I am staying ahead of the game
Now big bang boogie
Now let's dance in a big, explosive way
Get that kitty little noogie
Treat that special someone's private parts with the delicate passion they deserve
In a nice nice little shade
Let's enjoy a moment of relaxation in a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere
I gave Suzie a little pat up on the booty
I touched Suzie's buttocks gently to show my admiration for her beauty
And she turned around and said Walk this way
She expressed her interest in me by reciprocating my act of affection and inviting me to follow her
Sticks and stones may break my bones
While physical harm may affect my body, my spirit remains unshakable
But I don't care what y'all say
But I remain unfazed and unaffected by any criticism or negativity
'Cause as the world turns, y'all boys gonna learn
As time passes, those who doubt me will come to realize my ability
That Chico right here don't play
Make no mistake, I am not someone to be taken lightly
That boy's from the bottom, bottom of the map
I come from a place of humble beginnings, but my talents have taken me to great heights
M.I.A U.S.A
I am from Miami, Florida in the United States
We're taking it, we're taking it, we're taking it down
We are bringing the energy level down gradually toward a calmer, more relaxed tone
Now we're bring it, we're bring it, we're bring it back
Now we are gradually increasing the momentum and bringing back the excitement to the event
