"FIRE" by Umoja Sounds featuring Jay Rox is an electrifying afro-pop anthem that captures the intensity of a fiery attraction. The song weaves a narrative of irresistible passion, using vivid imagery and dynamic rhythms to express the challenges of containing such overwhelming feelings. The chorus is a catchy and repetitive plea, highlighting the struggle of managing the "fire" ignited by a lover's presence. The verses blend a mix of languages and cultural references, enhancing the song's global appeal while maintaining its African roots. The lyric "When you body hold malaya" sets the tone, suggesting a liberation and wildness in love that is hard to control. References to needing "to hydrate" and feeling "irie" further paint a picture of the physical and emotional intensity involved. The song cleverly uses the metaphor of a fire needing a "fire truck to call it off," indicating the magnitude of the attraction. The blend of languages, the pulsating beat, and the universal theme of passionate love make "FIRE" a vibrant and relatable track, showcasing Umoja Sounds and Jay Rox's ability to create music that resonates across boundaries.
Lyrics
=====
Chorus
When you body hold malaya
Tell me how I’m I to contain this fire
Ala baby kaya if I will manage to term this fire
Do donya donya donya
Verse 1:
Will not live to see another day unless easy
When I say I’m mad in a way your people won’t believe
My mama you gat me moco moco
Sinifuno nochoka napanja nili muloco
You are my bwana mutu sili total
Kaja dance umamenya kamutoto
What dancer dancer
Baby when you vibrate I need to hydrate
Dancer dancer
I bought like a pirate I’m feeling irie
Chorus
When you body hold malaya
Tell me how I’m I to contain this fire
Ala baby kaya if I will manage to term this fire
Do donya donya donya
Verse 2
I’m dipped in fever feel it
Get the cameras film it
Fill up this river own
Let’s keep burning in the moment
Baby back yako nimutofuntofu
Nolo muntu niokosa nimu knock knock
Any ha besibaku ona nima mpofu
Kuzafunika ma fire truck to call it off
What dancer dancer
Baby when you vibrate I need to hydrate
Dancer dancer
I bought like a pirate I’m feeling irie
Chorus
When you body hold malaya
Tell me how I’m I to contain this fire
Ala baby kaya if I will manage to term this fire
Do donya donya donya
Verse 3
Will not live to see another day unless easy
When I say I’m mad in a way your people won’t believe
Baby back yako nimutofuntofu
Nolo muntu niokosa nimu knock knock
Any ha besibaku ona nima mpofu
Kuzafunika ma fire truck to call it off
What dancer dancer
Baby when you vibrate I need to hydrate
Dancer dancer
I bought like a pirate I’m feeling irie
Chorus
When you body hold malaya
Tell me how I’m I to contain this fire
Ala baby kaya if I will manage to term this fire
Do donya donya donya
