To me, this is a song that is both angry and threatening, yet vulnerable, at the same time.
A clue comes in the beginning:
"Playin' with fire gonna get you wet
How that feel down there on your knees, huh"
is a reference to sex, violence, and perhaps, being humiliated.
Towards the end is another interest reference to feeling vulnerable:
Can't hurt us again when you come around here"
is an acknowledgment she has been hurt before and is now with her friends for protection.
Rhianna said it best herself in an interview:
“I can tell you that making this album was my recovery. It’s the way I vented and expressed myself”
