That's why when I hit em they want me to return the favor

So much so they think I'm down with the Illuminati
My watch do illuminate
My pockets are knotty
But I'm God body
Ya better ask somebody
I was born a God
I made myself a king
Which means I downgraded to a human being
You was born a Goddess I made you my queen
Which mean we upgraded to Louis the thirteen
Hot toddy her body like cognac
Her momma like earth tea
We birthed a couple of sacks
And as the tea steeped I creeped all in her teepee
We did it Indian style had the girls speaking in tongues
She like young, you hung
What you done done
Stop it before you wake up my mom, I might (ah)
And now that I've arrived it's time that I go
I'm so cold, I'm so cold

I'm like "Woah Kemosabe"
Your body is my hobby
We freaking this ain't cheating as long as we don't tell nobody
Tell your girls you leaving, I'll meet you in the lobby




I'm so cold yeah I need that hot toddy
Hot toddy, hot toddy

Overall Meaning

The song Hot Toddy by Usher featuring Jay-Z and Ciara seems to be about enjoying a casual sexual relationship. Usher starts the song with the repeated line "They call me King Hov" which is Jay-Z's nickname, seemingly symbolizing that this song is about the extravagent and lavish lifestyle they embody. The chorus 'I'm so cold yeah I need that hot toddy' could possibly be viewed as a metaphor for needing someone to warm you up sexually. Usher continues to talk about how he enjoys this person's company, but he acknowledges that this relationship is mostly physical and they are not committed to each other. Jay-Z comes in with his verse and talks about his own extravagant lifestyle and how he has access to anything he wants. He boasts about not being an ordinary man, but a king. The chorus repeats and Ciara comes in with some provocative lyrics, suggesting that their sexual relationship is intense and she's in control. The song's lyrics are extremely explicit and simple, focusing purely on one-night stands and casual sexual relationships, without having any emotional entanglements.

I am surprised by your attractiveness, we are engaging in sexual activity which isn't cheating as long as we keep it secret. Tell your friends you're leaving and I'll meet you in the lobby. I need a hot toddy to warm me up.


I see you like it tough I hear you baby Claiming you a bad bitch Show me baby I'm a wild boy you tryin'a tame me baby The way I get it from the house Can you keep me faithful Got a lot of girls Got a lot of flava' That's why when I hit em they want me to return the favor Girl I hear what you sayin' But hear it babe That you be whippin' to the point where I'm screaming your name
You like it rough, you're telling me you're a sexually dominant partner but I want to see you prove it. I'm not easily tamed, can you keep me faithful? I have a lot of different partners, that's why they always want me to reciprocate. I understand what you're saying, but I also know that you're very skilled and I enjoy it so much I'll scream your name.


Said that I'm tryin'a get your clothes off From what I'm seeing you look so soft Its your braggin' what I'm going off Say you gon' ride, a'ight just don't fall off Yeah I done had a lot of women that tell me what they do But can you show me babe Yeah you got me right
I'm trying to see you naked, you look really soft and comfortable. I'm impressed by your confidence, but I hope you can keep it up. I've had a lot of partners brag about their skills, but can you actually show me? Yeah, you have my attention.


I'm a choosy lover I pick 'em up Talk a lot of, I hope its good as you putting out Yeah you fancy huh I'm tryin'a pull you out I see there's a lot of girls standing round She say You think you're the best And I only want the best
I am selective about my lovers, and I think you look promising. You talk a big game, but I hope you can deliver. You seem high-maintenance, but I'm trying to win you over. I see a lot of other women around, and I know you only want the best.

I enjoy living extravagantly and people think I'm part of a mysterious group. My watch is flashy and my wealth is conspicuous, but I also believe in my own godlike qualities. I was born with special abilities and made myself powerful like a king. You were born with natural beauty and I made you my partner, which makes us like royalty. We had sex and it felt like drinking strong alcohol, and her mother was more like soothing tea. We had a good time and engaged in sexual activity in a tipi, which caused her to speak in tongues. She was impressed with my sexual prowess but told me to stop before her mother woke up. Now that I'm satisfied, it's time for me to leave.
