btw: The "murder she wrote" line requires reference to the dancehall original. Chaka Demus and Pliers sing 'bout hot gal wit di angel face and di devil heart. Dem gal act "flirty flirty" when dem "character dutty."
I think this is the kind of chick Mr. Kelly is talkin' about.
Oh, and that lazy fall into the chorus. Heavenly.
I don't, however, really feel the dancehall here...it's WAY too slow and lazy. It's got more of that Club Med reggae vibe. If it was over something like the diwali (see Wayne Marshall's "No Letting Go"), I might be willing to agree. Even then, dancehall deejays are anything but lazy and that's the charm of this tune.

359. this is the only song i listened to the year i graduated from high school and is inextricably tied up in my mind with weeks on end being drunk with high school friends and having the best time of my entire life smoking metric tons of weed in my garage

A few years ago, on his blog, the white folk rocker John Darnielle declared his admiration for R. Kelly’s new R. & B. single “Ignition.” Thirty years ago, Darnielle might have attempted to imitate R. Kelly’s perverse and feather-light soul. Now he’s just a fan.

Probably has the best example in music of rhyming a word with itself, specifically "lobby".
