Hot
Sergio Mendes/The Black Eyed Peas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's so amazing when a show is captivatin'
Gettin' everybody jumpin' and celebratin'
Only one's own musically be overlayin'
Connecting energy circulatin' inspiration
Together movin' in a synchronized formation
And if you're feelin' down this is survival from depression
You see the lesson is we're rhyming for our mission
Abolish circumstance transmitting from a piston
Taking what I can but keeping peace in moderation
A.P. is like an eagle with the alligator patience
Ready to attack any mic that I am facin'
No limitation where I'm takin' my creation cause

We got we got we got it like that
We got we got we got it like that
We got we got we got it like that
We got we got we got it like that

[Chorus]
You're so amazing, you're so hot and so blazing
You're hot, hot, hot (c'mon stop)
Hot, hot, hot (c'mon now)
You're so amazing, you're so hot and so blazing
You're hot, hot, hot (ooh wee)
Hot, hot, hot (c'mon now)

I'm more than ready to slice like machete
Leave ya like confetti
Break hearts like Tom Petty
Are you ready?
'cause I am every metaphor
You are nearly ready for
The media predator
'cause I'll bust in your session and kick my own raps, yes
Grab the microphone and show you where the forms at
Tell your girl adapts 'cause the rhyme contact
And she easily attracted to it just like that

[Chorus]

Yo, fuck the rhyme tryin' we on poetic control
Nevermind the behind and step ahead of your soul
And move on to the next with the words we bless
'cause Black Eyed Peas is comin' hotter than sex
We're writin', rhymin', makin' the beats
Okay, hip hop blazers bringin' the heat
Motivate cut, cut and scratch the groove
Elevate then make them powerful moves
How amazin' is it?
It's so amazin' the blind be gazin'
Even got deaf people listenin' and sayin'
Keep on
And ya don't stop
We got the music that makes your body hot





[Chorus: x2]
