"Fireman" is the first single from Lil Wayne's 5th studio album "Tha Carter II". It was produced by Doe Boyz. The song was originally recorded with slightly different lyrics. This included a completely modified second and third verse. Many believe this was an attempt by the record label to make a more "radio-friendly" version of the song.

Chart performance

"Fireman" managed to peak at #32 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his most successful single at the time in his career behind "Go DJ" which peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also fared well on R&B and rap charts, which peaked at #15 and #10, respectively. The single also became his first chart entry on the Billboard Pop 100 Chart, peaking at #43, while becoming his first chart entry on the Hot Digital Songs chart as well, peaking at #38. The single went on to reach Platinum status. This single also sparked heat from fellow hardcore rapper Drag-On as Wayne clearly stole his gimmick as the "Fireman", later causing Drag to make a diss track called The "Original Fireman". There has been no retaliation from Wayne to date.
