Fire Burning Lyrics

[Intro]
Somebody call 9-1-1
Shawty fire burning on the dance floor, whoa
(Fire burning, fire burning) What a guann?
Kingston, let's go, hey (Hey, hey)
RedOne (Hey)
Hey, hey (Hey)

[Verse 1]
Shawty got that super thang
Hotter than the sun of the South of Spain
Got me soon as I walked through the door, oh
My pocket started tickling
The way she dropped it low, that thang
Got me wanna spend my money on her, her

[Pre-Chorus]
She get it, pop it, lock it, drop it, that birthday cake
Got a candle, need to blow that crazy flame away
Now take my red, black card and my jewelry
Shawty is cool like the fire, cool like fire

[Chorus]
Somebody call 9-1-1
Shawty fire burning on the dance floor, whoa
I gotta cool her down
She gon' bring the roof to ground on the dance floor, whoa
[Post-Chorus]
She's fire burning, fire burning on the dance floor
That little shawty's fire burning on the dance floor
She's fire burning, fire burning on the dance floor
That little shawty's fire burning on the dance floor
(Fire burning, fire burning)

[Verse 2]
That body is a masterpiece
The order is one in every hundred years
But ain't no doubt I'm takin' it home, home
I'm afraid we'll blow them legs
Little mama game is about to change
She'll be on covers over the world, world

[Pre-Chorus]
She get it, pop it, lock it, drop it, that birthday cake
Got a candle, need to blow that crazy flame away
Now take my red, black card and my jewelry
Shawty is cool like the fire, cool like fire

[Chorus]
Somebody call 9-1-1
Shawty fire burning on the dance floor, whoa
I gotta cool her down
She will bring the roof to ground on the dance floor, whoa
[Post-Chorus]
She's fire burning, fire burning on the dance floor
That little shawty's fire burning on the dance floor
She's fire burning, fire burning on the dance floor
That little shawty's fire burning on the dance floor
(Fire burning, fire burning)

[Bridge]
She got that fire in her dance
That make them fellas run around (Hey)
No exit from the dance floor
So them boys want more (Hey)
She got that fire in her dance (Fire burning, fire burning)
That make them fellas run around
(My day, get out my way, everybody, sing now)
No exit from the dance floor so them boys want more
(What that boy? Let's go, my day, let's go)

[Pre-Chorus]
She get it, pop it, lock it, drop it, that birthday cake
Got a candle, need to blow that crazy flame away
Now take my red, black card and my jewelry
Shawty is cool like the fire, cool like fire

[Chorus]
Somebody call 9-1-1
Shawty fire burning on the dance floor, whoa
I gotta cool her down
She will bring the roof to ground on the dance floor, whoa
[Post-Chorus]
She's fire burning, fire burning on the dance floor
That little shawty's fire burning on the dance floor
She's fire burning, fire burning on the dance floor
That little shawty's fire burning on the dance floor

[Outro]
Somebody call 9-1-1

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The Sean Kingston song “Fire Burning” gained popularity due to it’s catchy tune and the song lyrics. It is a great representation of the music industry in the year of release, as a a lot of hip hop and RnB became mainstream.

This song mainly talks about this one girl that Sean finds extremely mesmerising, as she is one with a perfect and desirable body shape.

The term “hot” is a common word that most people use to describe attractive people. Sean goes a step ahead by calling the girl fire. When she comes to the dance floor, she literally creates a fire. Thus leads Sean to call for help from the fire department which comes under the emergency services provided by 911.

Even though it seems like the girl is out of Sean’s league, Sean is going to end up in bed with her either way, and that’s because Sean Kingston is a badass.
