"Fireman" is the first single from Lil Wayne's 5th studio album Tha Carter II. It was produced by the Doe Boys. 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.
