Now, um, usually I don't do this but uh...
Go head' on and break em off wit a lil' preview of the remix...
No I'm not trying to be rude,
But hey pretty girl I'm feeling you
The way you do the things you do
Reminds me of my Lexus coupe
That's why I'm all up in yo grill
Tryina get you to a hotel
You must be a football coach
The way you got me playing the field
So baby gimme that toot toot
Lemme give you that beep beep
Running her hands through my 'fro
Bouncing on 24's
While they say on the radio...
It's the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rolling that body
Got every man in here wishing
Sipping on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freaking weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun
Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce
Bounce Bounce Bounce
Now it's like murder she wrote
Once I get you out them clothes
Privacy is on the door
Still they can hear you screaming more
Girl I'm feeling what you feeling
No more hoping and wishing
I'm bout to take my key and
Stick it in the ignition
So baby gimme that toot toot
Lemme give you that beep beep
Running her hands through my 'fro
Bouncing on 24's
While they say on the radio...
It's the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rolling that body
Got every man in here wishing
Sipping on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freaking weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun
Cristal popping in the stretch Navigator
We got food everywhere
As if the party was catered
We got fellas to my left
Hunnies on my right
We bring em both together we got junking all night
Then after the show it's the (after party)
And after the party its the (hotel lobby)
And round about 4 you gotta (clear the lobby)
Then head take it to the room and freak somebody
Can I get a toot toot
Can I get a beep beep
Running her hands through my 'fro
Bouncing on 24's
While they say on the radio...
It's the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rolling that body
Got every man in here wishing
Sipping on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freaking weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun
It's the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rolling that body
Got every man in here wishing
Sipping on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freaking weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun
Girl we off in this jeep
Fogging windows up
Blasting the radio
In the back of my truck
Bouncing up and down
Stroke it round and round
To the remix
We just thuggin it out...
About This Song
"Ignition" is R. Kelly's masterfully crafted double entendre that uses automotive metaphors to explore themes of seduction, sexual chemistry, and the intoxicating rush of physical attraction. The song operates on two distinct levels - surface references to cars and driving mask deeper explorations of intimate desire and sexual prowess, with Kelly positioning himself as someone who can provide an exhilarating, transformative experience for his partner. Musically, the track showcases Kelly's signature blend of smooth R&B vocals over a mid-tempo groove with crisp percussion and subtle synthesizer work that creates an atmosphere of controlled sensuality. The production builds tension through its steady rhythm while Kelly's confident delivery suggests both playful charm and underlying intensity. The automotive imagery serves as an extended metaphor for sexual performance and satisfaction, with references to speed, control, and the ability to "drive someone crazy" functioning as coded language for physical intimacy. What made the song resonate was Kelly's ability to craft lyrics that were simultaneously clever and suggestive without being explicitly vulgar, allowing listeners to engage with the metaphor on whatever level they chose. The track exemplifies Kelly's talent for creating songs that work as both radio-friendly R&B and more adult-oriented material, demonstrating his understanding of how to balance commercial appeal with mature themes. "Ignition" became a staple of early 2000s R&B because it captured the era's preference for smooth, confident expressions of desire wrapped in sophisticated wordplay.
