Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You remind me of something
I just can't think of what it is

Girl, please
Let me stick my key in your ignition, babe
So I can get this thing started and get rollin', babe
See I'll be doin' about 80 on your freeway
Girl, I won't stop until I drive you crazy
So buckle up, 'cause this could get bumpy, babe
Now hit the lights and check out all my functions, babe
Girl, back that thing up so I can watch it, baby
Honey, we gon' mess around and get a ticket, babe

'Cause we off up in this Jeep
We foggin' up the windows
We got the radio up
We all up in the back
We got this shit bouncin'
We goin' up and down
And we smokin' and we drinkin'
Just a thuggin' it out

Jump up, down once I hit them switches, babe
And I'm about to take it where you wanna go, babe
Guarantee you I'm about to get some mileage, babe
And it won't be no runnin' out of gas, babe
It's like, ooh ooh ooh, pull over babe
And let me put this lovin' off in your trunk, babe
So buckle up, 'cause this could get bumpy, babe
Girl, we gon' mess around and get a ticket, babe

'Cause we off up in this Jeep
We foggin' up the windows
We got the radio up
We all up in the back
We got this shit bouncin'
We goin' up and down
And we smokin' and we drinkin'
Just a thuggin' it out

Now, hold on tight 'cause I'm about to go faster, babe
Girl, you're dealin' with a pro behind this wheel, babe
So tell me, have you ever driven a stick, babe?
You'll be screamin' every time we shift them gears, babe
So brace yourself while I'm hittin' them corners, babe
And when it's over, put that Kells on your license plates
Now buckle up 'cause this could get bumpy, babe
Girl, we gon' mess around and get a ticket, babe

'Cause we off up in this Jeep
We foggin' up the windows (yeah)
We got the radio up (uh)
We all up in the back
We got this shit bouncin'
We goin' up and down
And we smokin' and we drinkin'
Just a thuggin' it out

When I hear you say (green light)
I'ma go (yellow light)
Do it slow (red light)
I'ma stop

When I hear you say (switch lanes)
Hit the signal (let' stop)
Take a break
Hit the hazards when we park

When you say (green light)
I'ma go (yellow light)
Do it slow (red light)
I'ma stop

When you say (switch lanes)
Hit my signal (let' stop)
Take a break
Because we're 'bout to go real far

'Cause we off up in this Jeep (off up in this Jeep)
We foggin' up the windows (baby you and me)
We got the radio up (got the radio)
We all up in the back (all up in the back)
We got this shit bouncin' (got this baby bouncin')
We goin' up and down (goin' up and down)
And we smokin' and we drinkin' (smokin', just a thuggin' it out)

Now let me see you bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
Now let me see you bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce





Now let me see you

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of R. Kelly's song, Ignition, convey hesitation: “Now usually, I don’t do this but uh/Go ‘head and break ‘em off wit a lil’ preview of the remix.” The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the popular demand for remixes of his songs and is aware of the expectations of his listeners, yet he still has reservations about his approach. He goes on to express his attraction to a girl and her actions, and his desire to take her to a hotel. The lyrics highlight the singer's confidence and also his ability to read people's character such as the girl being like a football coach, and also his love for cars. The chorus indicates that the remix is hot and fresh out the kitchen, repeated twice to emphasize the freshness and the extraordinary nature of the remix. The lyrics also mention other activities and things such as drinking coke and rum and driving in a jeep while being intoxicated.

I normally wouldn't do this, but let me give you a sneak peek of the remix


Now I'm not tryin' to be rude, But hey pretty girl I'm feelin' you The way you do the things you do Remind me of my Lexus coup That's why I'm all up in yo grill Tryna get you to a hotel You must be a football coach The way you got me playin' the field

Girl we off in this Jeep Foggin' windows up Blastin' the radio In the back of my truck Bouncin' up and down Stroke it 'round and 'round To the remix We just thuggin' it out
We're in the Jeep with windows fogged up, and the radio blasting. We're bouncing up and down and stroking each other to the beat of the music. We're just living our best life together, being sweet and gangsta all at once.
