Ignition
R Kelly ft Fat Joe Lyrics

You remind me of somethin', I just can't think of what it is
The singer finds the listener familiar but cannot place the reason why.

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
The singer is using a metaphor of a car to talk about sexual activity. He wants to start quickly and keep going until the listener is satisfied.

So buckle up cause this can get bumpy, babe Now hit the lights and check out all my functions, Babe Girl, back that thing up so I can wax it, baby Honey, we gon' mess around and get a ticket, babe
The singer is warning the listener that things might get rough, but wants to impress her with his skills. He wants her to move in a certain way and is warning that they might get into trouble but is willing to take the risk.

[Chorus] 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 the shit bouncin' We goin' up and down And we smokin' and we drinkin' Just thuggin' it out
The artists are partying in a car and enjoying each other's company while getting high, drunk, and listening to music.

Jump up, down once I hit them switches, babe And I'm about to take it where you want to go, babe Guarantee you I'm about to get some knowledge, babe And it won't be no runnin' out of gas, babe
The artist is talking about changing the car's suspension and going to a specific location with the listener, promising to give her a pleasure she has never experienced before, and stating that he is confident he will finish the act without issue.

It's like woo, pull over, baby And let me put this love van off in your trunk, babe So buckle up cause this can get bumpy, babe Girl, we gon' mess around and get a ticket, babe
The singer is using another sexual metaphor to talk about parking the car and starting the act. He is using a play on words with 'love van' instead of 'love gun' while offering another warning about how risky it is.

[Chorus] 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 shiftin' gears, babe
The singer is prepared to go faster and is stating that he is experienced in what he is about to do. He is using another car metaphor, namely shifting gears. He wants to know if the listener has similar experience and is promising to make it an exciting experience for her.

So brace yourself while I'm hittin' them corners, babe And when it's over put that tails on your license Plate Now buckle up cause this can get bumpy, baby Girl, we gon' mess around and get a ticket, babe
The artist is getting ready to turn while driving and is warning the listener to brace herself. After they finish, he is telling her to put something on her car's license plate to remember this experience, and repeating his previous warning.

[Chorus] When I hear you say {Green light} I'mma go {Yellow light} Do it slow {Red light} I'mma stop When I hear you say {Switch lanes} hit the signal {Rest stop} Take a break, hit the hazards when we park
The artist is using traffic lights and driving instructions as a metaphor for sexual communication. He is telling the listener to guide him with these signals of when to go faster or when to stop, when to change positions or when to take a break.

Now usually I don't do this, but, uh Go 'head on bring 'em off with little previews of the Remix
The artist is acknowledging the audience's expectations of him to make various versions of his songs while suggesting he usually doesn't follow through but would do it now.

Now I'm not tryin' to be boo But hey, pretty girl, I'm feelin' you The way you do the things you do Reminds me of my Lexus, cool That's why I'm all up in your grill Tryin' to get you to a hotel You must be a football coach The way you got me playin' the field
The singer is flirting with the listener and trying to charm her. He is saying that the way she moves and acts reminds him of his car, which he finds cool. He explains that his persistence is because he finds her desirable, and compliments her skill in getting him to engage with her, using the metaphor of playing on the field.
