Die Antwoord - Dis Iz Why I'm Hot (Zef Remix) Lyrics
Remix of "This is Why I'm Hot" by Mims

[Ninja]
 
Yo check me out now
Yo diz is why I'm hot! I don't give a fa*k
Yo I'll kick a rap over someone else's track
I represent South Africa, I put it on the map
 
[Yolandi]
 
South Africa? Man I heard that place is f**kin' wack!
 
[Ninja]
 
When you say South Africa, the first things that come to mind
is yup: racism, apartheid, and crime
F**k a racist! Motherf**kas is stuck in '89
But the crime's still wylin, word to my nine.
 
[Yolandi]
 
Dis is why I'm hot, I don't have
I just make up raps then I learn them off by heart
Now I'm blowin up yes, why? 'Cause I rhyme tight
Yo my flow is hot just like the guy from Twilight
I can't believe that Kristen went and had a fling, yo
Now Robert is single and ready to mingle
I'm hot 'cause my lingo on the mic is Zef
Spelt Z to the E to the motherf**kin' F!
 
Dis iz why I'm hot! Dis iz why I'm hot!
Dis iz why dis iz why dis iz why I'm hot!
Dis iz why I'm hot! Dis iz why I'm hot!
Dis iz why dis iz why dis iz why I'm hot!
 
I'm hot because I'm Zef, you aint because you not!
Dis iz why dis iz why dis iz why I'm hot!
I'm hot because I'm Zef, you aint because you not!
Dis iz why dis iz why dis iz why I'm hot!
 
Do it. Do it. Do it!
 
[LatinRapper.com note: When Ninja says "Do it" at the end, he's imitating Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator, at the end when he's trying to get the alien to enter his trap
