(Mims)
This is why

This is why I'm hot
This is why I'm hot
I don't gotta rap
I can sell a mill
Sayin' nothing on the track
I represent New York
I got it on my back
And they can say that we lost it
So I?mma bring it back
I love the dirty dirty
Coz they show me love
The ladies start to bounce
As soon as I hit the club
But in the Midwest
They love to take it slow
So when I hit the
I watch 'em get it on the floor
And if you needed hyphy
I take it to the Bay
Frisco to Sac-town
They do it eryday
Coppin' to Hollywood
As soon as I hit LA
I'm in that low low
I do it the Cali way
And when I hit the Chi
People say that I'm fly
They love the way I dress
They like my, they like my, attire
The love how I move crowds
From side to side
They ask me how I do it
And simply I reply
This is why I'm hot

(Mims)
This is why
This is why
This is why I'm hot
This is why I'm hot
Catch me on the block
Every other day
Another girl another drop
16 bars
24 a pop
40 for a song
You can gimme what you got
I'm in there driving cars
I push them off the lot
I'm into shutting stores down
Just so I can shop
If you need a bird
I could get it chopped
Tell me what you need
You know I get ?em by the flock
I call my homie black
Meet me on the ave
I hit Wash Heights
With the money in the bag
We into big spinners
See my pimping never dragged
Find me with different women
That you ****ers never had
For those who say they know me
Know I'm focused on my cream
Playa you come between
You'd better focus on the beam
I keep it so feen
The way you see me lean
And when I say I'm hot
My ****er this is what I mean
This is why I'm hot
This is why I'm hot
This is why
This is why
This is why I'm hot
This is why I'm hot

You ain't coz you're not
This is why
This is why
This is why I'm hot
This is why I'm hot
Shorty see the drop
Ask me what I paid
And I say, yeah I paid a guap
And then I hit the switch
That take away the top
So chicks around the way
They call me cream of the crop
They hop in the car
I tell them all aboard
We hit the studio
They say they like the way I record
I gave you black train
And I did you wrong
So every time I see them
Man they tell me that's their song
They say I'm the bomb
They love the way the charm
Hanging from the neck
Then compliments the arm
Which compliments the ear
Then comes the gear
So when I hit the room
The shorties stop and stare
Start to hate
Rearrange their face
Little do they know
I keep them things by waistside
I reply
Nobody gotta die
Similar to Lil' Weez
'Coz I got the fire
This is why I'm hot
This is why I'm hot
This is why
This is why
This is why I'm hot
This is why I'm hot
This is why I'm hot

I'm hot coz I'm fly
You ain't coz you're not

You ain't coz you're not

The lyrics to Cham's song "This Is Why I'm Hot" celebrate the artist's success and the reasons behind it. He asserts that he's "hot" because of his unique style and talent, while others are simply not "hot" because they lack these qualities. Cham also notes that he can sell records without even having to rap, emphasizing his marketability and appeal. He also highlights his ability to represent New York and bring back the glory days of the city's hip hop scene. Cham boasts about his popularity with the "dirty dirty" (southern) and "hyphy" (Bay Area) crowds, as well as his flyness in cities like Chicago and Los Angeles. The song ultimately comes across as a confident and unapologetic anthem for the artist.
One interesting fact about "This Is Why I'm Hot" is that it was Cham's biggest hit, reaching #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2007. However, the song was also criticized for its repetitive lyrics and simplistic structure. Also, the "Mims" that is referred to in the lyrics is actually another rapper named MIMS, who was also enjoying chart success around the same time as Cham. The "dirty dirty" that is mentioned in the song is a reference to the American South, particularly Atlanta. Hyphy, on the other hand, was a Bay Area genre characterized by its high energy and dancing. Cham was known for his distinctive drawl and slang, which he used effectively in his lyrics. He was born in Jamaica but raised in Brooklyn, and later moved to Houston.
The chords to "This Is Why I'm Hot" are relatively simple, consisting primarily of power chords played on a guitar. The song is set in the key of F# minor, with no capo. The main chord progression is F#m - A - E - A (repeated throughout most of the song's verses and choruses). The bridge section features a slightly different chord progression: B - C#m - A - E (also repeated). The song's instrumentation also includes drums, bass, and keyboards, as well as various sound effects and samples.

I remember hiring Mims to perform, "This is why I'm Hot", not knowing about the remix yet. He came on stage (Mims) did his first verse then the smoke signals came on, the sirens going offย and Juniorย Reidย came on and the crowd goes crazy. I have been to thousands of shows, and this one was one of my top 3. Big Earl........
