Fire Lyrics – Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre

Fire Lyrics Meaning

[Intro (Cocoa Sarai)]
The intro sets a tense and dramatic tone, describing chaos and violence. “More fire” suggests intensity, while “Bloody Mary” hints at something dark. “Trying to put out a fire with gasoline” and “bullets ringing” evoke a sense of danger, leading to a violent scene, possibly a metaphor for escalating conflict.

[Chorus (Cocoa Sarai)]
The chorus highlights the cold reality of the street life where survival is key. “Drop one by one” suggests people falling in tough situations, while “Happiness is a warm gun” implies a twisted sense of satisfaction from power and control. It speaks to the mindset of a true “rider,” someone willing to fight at all costs.

[Verse 1 (Snoop Dogg & Cocoa Sarai)]
In this verse, Snoop reflects on his life of crime and survival. He talks about how he’s risen above tough circumstances, using his experiences as motivation. He mentions his criminal past, dealing with cold cases and interrogation, but staying untouchable (“could never impeach me”). Snoop emphasizes his dominance and resilience, claiming that life is a test, and he has the answers. He’s confident and unbothered by the violence in his world, where money, power, and revenge are the driving forces.

[Pre-Chorus (Cocoa Sarai)]
The pre-chorus is a bold declaration of dominance. The line “Let the f*cking winner talk” signals confidence, while “when the war starts, you don’t wanna get involved” is a warning. They’re ready for any challenge, and “headshot, another funeral” shows they’re not afraid to use extreme measures.

[Chorus (Cocoa Sarai)]
This chorus repeats the earlier sentiments of violence and survival. It reaffirms that the “rider” mentality, defined by toughness and disregard for the consequences, is central to the story being told. The repeated line “I saw them drop one by one” highlights the ruthlessness of their world.

[Verse 2 (Snoop Dogg & Cocoa Sarai)]
Verse 2 delves deeper into Snoop’s life of excess and escapism. He mentions moments of indulgence, like partying and hanging with friends, while chasing “M’s” (money) and seeking revenge. He reflects on how life, for him, is about winning at all costs, even if it means being a villain. He also talks about keeping things private and under the radar (“location off the grid”) while still achieving success. He believes he deserves his power and wealth, symbolized by references to “Bezos” and “pesos.” The verse highlights his unyielding determination and confidence in his abilities.

[Pre-Chorus (Cocoa Sarai)]
This pre-chorus repeats the same themes from earlier, showing the group’s readiness for battle and their unbeatable mindset. The “smoke” is a metaphor for trouble, and they dare anyone to challenge them, signaling that they’re in control, no matter what.

[Chorus (Cocoa Sarai)]
The chorus echoes the same intense tone and focus on power, survival, and violence. It reminds the listener that in this world, toughness and ruthlessness are key to staying alive and thriving.

[Outro (Cocoa Sarai)]
The outro has a playful yet ominous vibe, with Cocoa Sarai saying “Ya mon'” and referencing a “real gunman ting” — a nod to the gritty, tough persona they’ve been portraying throughout the song. The “Boom” echoes the sound of violence or the impact of their message.
