  • This is why I'm hot (hot)
    This is why I'm hot (hot) (yeah)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (uh)
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    This is why I'm hot (hot) (woo)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    I'm hot 'cause I'm fly (fly)
    You ain't 'cause you not (not)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    I'm hot 'cause I'm fly (fly)
    You ain't 'cause you not (Mims)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (hot)

    This is why I'm hot, I don't gotta rap
    I could sell a mil' sayin' nothin' on the track
    I represent New York, I got it on my back
    Niggas say that we lost it, so I'ma bring it back
    I love the Dirty Dirty, 'cause niggas 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 H, I watch 'em (get it on the flo')
    And if you need it hyphy, I'll take it to the Bay
    'Frisco to Sac-Town, they do it everyday
    Compton to Hollywood, soon as I hit LA
    I'm in the low-low, I do it the Cali way (woo)
    And when I hit the Chi', people tell me that I'm fly
    They love the way I dress, they like my attire
    They 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 (hot)
    This is why I'm hot (hot) (yeah)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (uh)
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    This is why I'm hot (hot) (woo)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    I'm hot 'cause I'm fly (fly)
    You ain't 'cause you not (not)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    I'm hot 'cause I'm fly (fly)
    You ain't 'cause you not (Mims)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (hot)

    This is why I'm hot, catch me on the block
    Every other day, another bitch, another drop
    Sixteen bars, twenty-four a pop
    Forty-four a song, nigga gimme what you got
    I'm into drivin' cars, fresh up off the lot
    I'm into shuttin' stores down just so I could 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 spendin', see my pimpin' never drag
    Find me with different women that you niggas never had
    For those who say they know me, know I'm focused on my cream
    Playa, you come between, you better focus on the beam
    I keep it so mean, the way you seen me lean
    And when I say I'm hot, my nigga this is what I mean

    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    This is why I'm hot (hot) (yeah)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (uh)
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    This is why I'm hot (hot) (woo)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    I'm hot 'cause I'm fly (fly)
    You ain't 'cause you not (not)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    I'm hot 'cause I'm fly (fly)
    You ain't 'cause you not (Mims)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (hot)

    This is why I'm hot, shorty see the drop
    Asked 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 'em, "All aboard"
    We hit the studio, they say they like how I record
    I gave 'em "Black Train" and "I Did You Wrong"
    So every time I see them, they tell me that's their song
    They say I'm the bomb, they love the way the charm
    Hangin' from the neck and compliments the arm
    Which compliments the ear, then comes the gear (woo)
    So when I hit the room, the shorties stop and stare
    Niggas start to hate, rearrange they face
    But little do they know, I keep them thangs by waist side
    I reply, nobody got to die
    Similar to Lil' Weez' 'cause I got the fire

    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    This is why I'm hot (hot) (yeah)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (uh)
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    This is why I'm hot (hot) (woo)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    I'm hot 'cause I'm fly (fly)
    You ain't 'cause you not (not)
    This is why, this is why
    This is why I'm hot (hot)
    I'm hot 'cause I'm fly (fly)
    You ain't 'cause you not (Mims)
    This is why, this is why

  • Gary from Houston, TxOk folks
    This tempo is from an old Aspirin Commercial
    I look it up soon
  • Michaela from Brooklyn, Ny I like the song. I like his voice and the way he raps. I never thought the song was foolish. The song is a little silly to me but I still love it. In fact, I think this is one of the 'best rap songs' I have ever heard. I'm sure some people agree with me,for this song was ranked #1.
