[Verse 1: Evidence]

Hot's a hundred degrees and hotter

Hot is stuck 0n rooftops in N.O. four days with no water

Hot's a sold out tour, #1 on Billboard

Hot could be that watch you didn't buy from the store

You ain't cold if you got no mack and step in the spot

And still leave with a girl who drop it like it's hot

Certain words flip, I'm on a roll...

If the cops watch you move bricks you hot, if you shoot bricks you cold

Cold is can't get arrested, cold's alone gettin' old

Cold is too much product on the shelf, nothin' sold

(Sometimes) cats are froze so cold they can't melt

Trust me, bein' cold's a cold hand to be dealt

[Verse 2: The Alchemist]

Yo I'm hot like the beats, heart cold like the streets

Hot headed so I never get caught with cold feet

Hot is brand-new Benz's, hot is runnin' from detectives

In the projects, hoppin' over fences and benches

Hot is camera flashin', hot is paparazzi snappin'

Hotter than a chain a motherfucker got from snatchin'

I never freeze when I'm in action

Cause if I cool off and hit a cold streak then I'll be a wrap then

Cold blooded ice in my veins, fuck the fame

Only cold stares, cold shoulders in this cold game

Gave me frostbite, I'm numb, I don't feel any pain

It's a cold world, I'm frigid, I don't feel any shame

[Hook]

You either hot, hot, hot

Or you're not, not, not

(What's our motherfuckin' names?

Better get it right, people better get it right)

"Evidence and Alchemist", "keep it hot"

You either hot, hot, hot

"Like the sun burn, burnin' down the block"

Or you're not, not, not

"It's so cold", "I'll leave em froze like ice"

"Hotter than lava", "colder than ever"

"Evidence and Alchemist"

[Verse 3: Evidence]

Cold's when the thrill is gone, cold's the good die young

Cold's the villian, cold's how wanted the cold chillin'

Cold's no love at the door, turned away when you roll up

In the cold, cold is no money for cold cuts

Hot and cold, that's opposite extremes

I think, which way is worse? Burn to death or freeze?

Hot's when you sellin' units, strictly word of mouth

We from the bottom of Cali, that's why the birds fly South

For the winter, copped a new crib, studio built in

It's hot, hot is not Paris Hilton

Tryin' to breathe, a cold world, inhale each breath

Still the sun can't chill but everyday the West sets

[Verse 4: The Alchemist]

Now who's the hot shot, up in the hot spot

With a big knot from sellin' hot rocks, duckin' cops on hot blocks

It's hot so you roll in that drop-top

The feds hot on your case, they run up in your place no knock-knock

Word on the street's somebody must have turned up the heat

Now you headed for that white cell and that cold white sheet

Better stay cool as a fan when that man say freeze

Or get your dome cracked, knocked out cold and need a Colpac

It's cold hard facts, I'm on the case like Kojak

Cold as a bitch that got a pretty face with no back

It's cold out, breath like a smoke cloud when I blow that

When I finish rap I'm quittin' cold turkey so quote that

[Hook]

You either hot, hot, hot

Or you're not, not, not

(What's our motherfuckin' names?

Better get it right, people better get it right)

"Evidence and Alchemist", "keep it hot"

You either hot, hot, hot

"Like the sun burn, burnin' down your block"

Or you're not, not, not

"It's so cold", "I'll leave em froze like ice"

"Hotter than lava", "colder than ever"

"Evidence and Alchemist", "turnin' up the temperature"
