1. Fightin' is* rightin'*= fighting is improving?


2. The passions *emaculate*=Is that spelled wrong?

"Sexy" by Black eyed peas is a very good song, even it comes with a lot of sexual connotations in the lyric.

I'm not familiar with this song, so I had to look up the lyrics for myself...

1) The site I linked to has "fightin' is frightnin'", so =frightening, not "righting."

2) The passions *emaculate* = "The passion's immaculate" = the passion is immaculate. "Immaculate" means clean, pure, holy; it's a word often used in religion/Christianity, as in the "immaculate conception" of Jesus Christ. It's an adjective, not a verb.
