We hot (we hot)
You hot?
I'm hot
People at the party say they're feelin' hot (we hot)
Ignorants, they hot
Who's hot?
We hot (we hot)
I'm hot
People at the party say they're feelin' hot (we hot)
Ignorants, they hot
I know that you wanna get next to me
I can tell by the way that you're lookin' at me
I can see that your eyes are undressin' me
Wanna ah have sex with me
You don't know what you do to me
I'm not like this usually
Slow down if you're confusing me
Baby, you can do me tonight
Summertime in the streets
You and me chillin' in the back seat
I know that you really wanna get with me
Maybe we can do it tonight
Cos it's summertime
And now that I'm lying here next to you
You can do all the things we wanna do
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want you to
Get close to me
I'm not like this usually
It ain't how it's supposed to be
You don't know what you do to me
Baby, we can do it tonight
Summertime in the streets
You and me chillin' in the back seat
I know that you really wanna get with me
Maybe we can do it tonight
Cos it's summertime
Summertime in the streets
You and me chillin' in the back seat
I know that you really wanna get with me
Maybe we can do it tonight
Cos it's summertime
Baby, tonight will be the night
No need to rush just take your time
If you let me I'll get ya high
Cos it's summertime (summertime)
Woah, wooah, wooouuh, wooah
It was 98 degrees in the shade
Top down , loud sound
And I just got paid
Push the EQ on a track I just laid
Mad a shit job like a damn cascade
Then I saw a honey who was top of the grade
I started loosing it, didn't know how to behave
I was lookin' in my rear-view, checking my fade
Can I get near you, and check what she said
I don't need a man with much money
Or the type that treats me real funny
Only dance with me when it's sunny
If you could me mine then I will be your honeyz
Alright girl I'm listening
I know you're burnin' up I got air conditionin'
Is that what you say to all the women then?
Ignorants done did it again
Now c'mon
Summertime in the streets
You and me chillin' in the back seat
I know that you really wanna get with me
Maybe we can do it tonight
Cos it's summertime
Summertime in the streets
You and me chillin' in the back seat
I know that you really wanna get with me
Maybe we can do it tonight
Cos it's summertime
Who's hot?

The lyrics to Honeyz's song "In The Street" describe a hot summer night out with the girls. The song starts out with the girls asking, "Who's hot? We hot." They are feeling confident and empowered as they move through the party scene. The singer then addresses someone specifically, insinuating that they want to have sex with her. She explains that she's not usually like this, but it's summertime and anything goes. The singer then gets into a car with this person, and they drive around the summertime streets together, enjoying each other's company. The singer emphasizes that tonight is the night and that they should take their time. She also sets up that she doesn't need a man with money, just someone who treats her well.
The overall tone of the song is confident and self-assured, with the singer and her friends feeling empowered and in control of their sexuality. They're out to have a good time, and they're not interested in the opinions of anyone else. The summertime setting adds to the carefree atmosphere and feelings of liberation. The lyrics encourage listeners to let loose and enjoy the moment, no matter what anyone else thinks.

Top down, loud sound
The convertible car had its top down and the music was loud
And I just got paid
I just received my paycheck

Mad a shit job like a damn cascade
I made a bad job on the song and it was a huge disappointment
Then I saw a honey who was top of the grade
Then I saw an attractive woman who was highly regarded by others

May I approach you to see what your response would be

If you could be mine, then I could be your sweetheart

Are you using the same lines on all women?
Ignorants done did it again
Ignorant people have done something foolish again
Now c'mon
Let's go

This is a version they recorded with Mariama in 2000, previously a radio edit of it was included on a Smash Hits CD. You can hear Heavenli on the chorus because they kept her vocals from a version they recorded for promotional purposes before she departed from the group in February–March 1999. Hope this helps for anyone confused!

I prefer the Ignortants remix.
