If I want—, if I want—, if I—, if I want—
If I want—, if I—, if I want—, if I—, if I want—
If I want—, me ready for
If I want—, if I want—, if I—, if I want—
If I want—, if I—, if I want—, if I—, if I want—
If I want—, me ready for
I’m a carnivore, natural born killer
So I gotta be on any and everything in front of me (Ah)
In the club ’cause I’m gonna eat tonight (Yeah)
I’m a gorilla, like drums on my chest so I gotta beat
And when I start to do you know what it means
You can’t leave, not until you battle me
I know you’re out there, somewhere (Somewhere)
I feel you and I smell your fear (Your fear)
Bust a few shots in the air
Come on, yeah, come on
Your body is ’bout to go off (Go off)
I want you to show off (Oh)
You’re classified, top secret (Secret)
You’re a weapon
So it’s bombs away, bombs away (Buck! Buck!)
Calling for you now
So you better take cover (You better)
‘Cause I need it and I want ya
I think you calling on me ’cause I’m ready for war (Buck! Buck!)
Ooh girl, I like that
And yeah, you coming with it but I need a little more
‘Cause I’m firing right back
It’s getting hot and heavy
She looking like she want me to cut her like a machete
And I’ma give it to her but that’s only if you let me
I’ma let her touch it, but it’s only the beginning, yup
She n-n-n-nasty but I ain’t mad at all
And she b-b-b-bad like she running from the law
By the way she dancing on me, that’s how I can tell
She a GI Jane in the bed for real
I know you’re out there, somewhere
I feel you and I smell your fear (Your fear)
Bust a few shots in the air
Yeah, come on, yeah, come on (Oh)
Your body is ’bout to go off (Go off)
I want you to show off (Show off)
You’re classified, top secret (Secret)
You’re a weapon
So it’s bombs away, bombs away (Buck! Buck!)
Calling for you now
So you better take cover (Yeah, you better)
‘Cause I need it and I want ya
I think you calling on me ’cause I’m ready for war (Buck! Buck!)
Ooh girl, I like that
And yeah, you coming with it but I need a little more
‘Cause I’m firing right back (Ha ha)
Okay, it’s like I travel to another dimension
‘Cause shawty got my soldier standin’ at attention
I’m like, yeah, it’s the battle of the sexes
I wrap her legs ’round my head like a necklace
Uh, it’s like it’s bombs over Baghdad
And shawty ass fat so I’ma bag that
M-M-Mercy, is what you beggin’ for
I’m standin’ on the bar screamin’—
So hold your glasses up if you need more
Whole lot of women but I need more
I got that long sword, like the Marine Corps
Now let me take a stab at it, leave your spleen sore
I think I’m King Kong, Godzilla
Go a couple rounds, Thrilla in Manilla
Now show me who iller and I’ll show you a mirror
You want that fire, I deliver
Bombs away, bombs away (Buck! Buck!)
Calling for you now
So you better take cover (You better)
‘Cause I need it and I want ya
I think you calling on me ’cause I’m ready for war (Buck! Buck!)
Ooh girl, I like that
And yeah, you coming with it but I need a little more
‘Cause I’m firing right back (Ha ha)

Explosive Passion: Interpreting “Bombs Away”
“Bombs Away” by Chris Brown is an energetic and metaphor-heavy track that fuses desire with the imagery of warfare. Brown uses vivid language, likening himself to a predator and a soldier, ready for a passionate encounter that’s as intense as a battle. The recurring references to combat, such as “carnivore,” “ready for war,” and “bombs away,” symbolize the overwhelming and consuming nature of attraction. The lyrics also highlight playful competitiveness in intimacy, with lines that describe a dance of power and seduction between partners. Brown’s delivery and the song’s pulsating rhythm further amplify the sense of urgency and heat, making the track a bold celebration of chemistry and confidence.
