I think this is my favorite song of 2009. The lyrics are clever, slightly bitter, but oh so effing real. The vocal performance is commanding and sincere. The production is off da chain and this is simply a great pop/rock song. There is great movement in the melody, lots of tension and the proper release and a strong bridge. This is the kind of joint that makes me miss writing and producing music. Let me find out Rihanna may get me back in the studio!!!!

By the way, the entire Rated R CD is truly a well produced and performed album. Great songwriting, strong performances and an artist not afraid to grow. I'm pleasantly surprised at how capable Rihanna has turned out to be at working the gifts bestowed upon her.

Press play, read the lyrics while you listen and have a great day.

Firebomb
(J. Fauntleroy II, B. Kennedy, R. Fenty) Produced by Brian Kennedy for Team BK

Gunfire left a hole in the tank, losing gasoline
Fire is on my trail and he's after me
Hope it don't get here before I get where I'm going
I gotta get where I'm going
Take off my mask to breathe
You could've been a part of a masterpiece
Fluid in the breaks was the last to leak
That's the thing

Where I'm going, I don't need my brakes
Can't wait to see your face
When your front windows break
And I come crashing through

The lovers need to clear the road
Oh, oh, oh
Cause this thing is ready to blow
Oh, oh, oh

I just wanna set you on fire
So I won't have to burn alone
Then you
Then you'll know where I'm coming from
Fire bomb
Fire bomb

Seems cold but baby, know it doesn't have to be
Microwaving our metal tragedy
Watching it burn and it's beautiful and it's blue
And it's pitiful when its through
It's the other half of me
I didnt do it, you lit the match for me
Now we're flying from the blast, baby
That's the thing

Where we're going, we don't need no brakes
Can't wait to see your face
When your front windows break
And I come crashing through

The lovers need to clear the road
Oh, oh, oh
Cause this thing is ready to blow
Oh, oh, oh

I just wanna set you on fire
So I won't have to burn alone
Then you
Then you'll know where I'm coming from
Fire bomb
Fire bomb

Baby, we were killing them
They couldn't handle the millionth degree
We were criminals
As we were burning, the world called the police

Fire department, ambulance
You can call me crazy 'cause I believe
The only move for me and you
Is to go out blazing

The lovers need to clear the road
Oh, oh, oh
Cause this thing is ready to blow
Oh, oh, oh

I just wanna set you on fire
So I won't have to burn alone
Then you
Then you'll know where I'm coming from
Fire bomb
Fire bomb
