This Is Why I'm Hot
Mims Feat. Cham & Junior Reid Lyrics

This is why I'm hot (hot)
I am successful and popular.

This is why I'm hot (hot) (yeah)
I am successful and popular. (repeated with agreement)

This is why, this is why
I will explain the reason for my success.

This is why I'm hot (uh)
I am successful and popular. (interjection)

This is why I'm hot (hot) (woo)
I am successful and popular. (repeated with enthusiasm)

I'm hot 'cause I'm fly (fly)
I am successful and popular because I am stylish and charismatic.

You ain't 'cause you not (not)
You are not successful and popular because you lack the qualities that I possess.

You ain't 'cause you not (Mims)
You are not successful and popular because you lack the qualities that I possess. (addressing the artist by name)

This is why I'm hot, I don't gotta rap
I am so successful that I do not need to rap to sell records.

I could sell a mil' sayin' nothin' on the track
My success is so great that I could sell a million records without even having to rap.

I represent New York, I got it on my back
I am from New York and I am responsible for representing my city in the music industry.

Niggas say that we lost it, so I'ma bring it back
Some people say that New York has lost its place in the music industry, but I am determined to bring it back to prominence.

I love the Dirty Dirty, 'cause niggas show me love
I love the southern United States because the people there support me.

The ladies start to bounce as soon as I hit the club
Women start to dance as soon as I arrive at a club.

But in the Midwest, they love to take it slow
People in the Midwest prefer slower music and a more relaxed approach to dancing.

So when I hit the H, I watch 'em (get it on the flo')
When I am in Houston, I enjoy watching people dance to fast-paced music.

And if you need it hyphy, I'll take it to the Bay
If you want high-energy music, I can provide it in the style of the California Bay Area's 'hyphy' movement.

'Frisco to Sac-Town, they do it everyday
In San Francisco and Sacramento, the 'hyphy' movement is a daily part of the culture.

Compton to Hollywood, soon as I hit LA
Even in Los Angeles, from Compton to Hollywood, my music is well-received.

I'm in the low-low, I do it the Cali way (woo)
When I am in California, I ride in lowrider cars and embrace the local culture. (interjection)

And when I hit the Chi', people tell me that I'm fly
When I am in Chicago, people compliment my style and charisma.

They love the way I dress, they like my attire
People in Chicago appreciate my fashion sense and wardrobe.

They love how I move crowds from side-to-side
People in Chicago appreciate the way I am able to energize and entertain an audience.

They ask me how I do it and simply I reply
People ask me how I am able to be so successful and popular, and I simply respond.

This is why I'm hot, catch me on the block
I am so successful that I can still be found in my neighborhood.

Every other day, another bitch, another drop
I am so successful that I can afford to have a new luxury car and woman every other day.

Sixteen bars, twenty-four a pop
I typically rap sixteen bars, and I charge twenty-four thousand dollars per song.

Forty-four a song, nigga gimme what you got
I charge forty-four thousand dollars per song, and I expect payment in full.

I'm into drivin' cars, fresh up off the lot
I enjoy driving brand new luxury cars.

I'm into shuttin' stores down just so I could shop
I am so successful that I can close stores in order to shop in private.

If you need a bird, I could get it chopped
If you need drugs, I can supply them.

Tell me what you need, you know I get 'em by the flock
If you tell me what you need, I can get you a large quantity of it.

I call my homie Black, meet me on the Ave
I call my friend Black and ask him to meet me on the avenue.

I hit Wash' Heights with the money in the bag
I go to Washington Heights with a bag of money.

We into big spendin', see my pimpin' never drag
We spend a lot of money, and my lifestyle is always exciting and never boring.

Find me with different women that you niggas never had
I am frequently in the company of women that other people have never been with.

For those who say they know me, know I'm focused on my cream
People who claim to know me understand that I am always focused on making money.

Playa, you come between, you better focus on the beam
If you try to come between me and my money, you should be careful or you might get hurt.

I keep it so mean, the way you seen me lean
I keep my demeanor tough and intimidating, as you have seen when I lean to one side.

And when I say I'm hot, my nigga this is what I mean
When I say that I am successful and popular, I mean it sincerely. (addressing the listener by name)

This is why I'm hot, shorty see the drop
I am so successful that people can see me riding in a luxury convertible.

Asked me what I paid, and I say, 'Yeah, I paid a guap'
Someone asked me how much I paid for my car, and I responded that I paid a million dollars.

And then I hit the switch, that take away the top
Then I press a button to make the roof retract and disappear.

So chicks around the way, they call me Cream of the Crop
Women in my neighborhood consider me to be the best of the best.

They hop in the car, I tell 'em, 'All aboard'
Women get in my car when I invite them to, saying 'all aboard.'

We hit the studio, they say they like how I record
Women come to the recording studio with me and enjoy watching me record music.

I gave 'em 'Black Train' and 'I Did You Wrong'
I played my songs 'Black Train' and 'I Did You Wrong' for them.

So every time I see them, they tell me that's their song
Whenever the women hear those songs, they think of me and tell me about it.

They say I'm the bomb, they love the way the charm
The women say that I am amazing and they love my charm and charisma.

Hangin' from the neck and compliments the arm
My jewelry is hanging from my neck and my watch compliments my clothing.

Which compliments the ear, then comes the gear (woo)
My earrings also match my clothing, and then comes my fashionable attire. (interjection)

So when I hit the room, the shorties stop and stare
When I walk into a room, women stop what they are doing and stare at me.

Niggas start to hate, rearrange they face
Other men in the room become jealous and angry, and their facial expressions show their emotions.

But little do they know, I keep them thangs by waist side
Unbeknownst to them, I keep weapons on my waist in case of danger.

I reply, nobody got to die
If anyone tries to harm me, they will not have to die as long as they back down. (response to the previous line)

Similar to Lil' Weez' 'cause I got the fire
Little Wayne and I have something in common: we both have immense talent and energy.
