Hot shyt, hot shyt, come and get it, come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
[Verse 1: Peedi Crakk]
Come and get it, I don't know what the fuck to do with it
I wrote it down, took it to the studio and spit it
I tried to knock it in the game of soccer, they ain't kick it
I twist it up in the Dutch Master lit it and hit it
My girl won't lick it, my moms won't cook it
The cops won't book it, my squad ain't with it
I shot it point blank with a gauge it's still livin'
I tried to take it to Jamal and pray it's still sinnin'
Vampires won't rip it, icepicks won't stick it
I took it to Jigga, he couldn't do nothin' with it
I threw it in the river, motherfuckers started swimmin'
I bagged it up, put it on the block and couldn't flip it
Who the fuck gon' buy it?
The Roc won't drop it
Maybe if I put up "For Sale" sign, somebody cop it
State penitentiary cell blocks can't lock it
Hot shyt, bitch, DJ Screw can't (Chop) it
[Chorus: Peedi Crakk]
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
[Verse 2: Black Thought]
Uh! Come and get it, who want it I got it I'm runnin with it
I brung it from Philly Philly where the crimes get committed
Them rhymes is terrific, beyond scientific
I took it up in a gym, nobody couldn't lift it
Where the hell I'm 'gon send it? Will people 'gon dig it?
I took it to Rich he said it's somethin' wrong with it
He took it to ?uestlove, he on the phone with it
He took it to Pitchfork, he couldn't get a sentence
Who the fuck 'gon touch it? If Snoop won't puff it?
The streets don't love it, your peeps won't plug it
I took it to Jigga he said it wasn't in the budget
We took it to Jazzy Jeff, the brother couldn't cut it
I wonder who 'gon knock it, the world 'gon rock it
The squad 'gon pop it, your girl 'gon jock it
I lost my wallet, glad I had it in my pocket
When I'm up in the party, come and see me get retarded HOT!!!!
[Chorus: Peedi Crakk]
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
[Verse 3: Tuphace]
Yo, come and get it, I admit it, I spit it kinda diff-er-ent
They, try to put me in the box, I wouldn't fit in it
Coke - wasn't shippin' it, dro - wasn't hittin it
But flippin' them downloads and folks stay clickin' it
Labels won't push it, T-Pain won't hook it
? campaign, straight George Bush it
Showed it to John McCain, said it wasn't crooked
Opened the champagne when Obama ran and took it
The kids won't eat it, the blogs gon' delete it
I sent it to L.A., the nigga couldn't (Reid) it
I gave it to MJ and my homie couldn't (Beat It) (Hee-hee!)
I showed it to Stevie and he said he couldn't see it
Where the hell I'm gon' spread it? My city don't get it
The radio gon' edit, the journalists won't sweat it
Dig it, I don't give a SHIT about a critic
I'm young, fresh, and gifted and I spit it how I live it
Come and get it!
[Chorus: Peedi Crakk]
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
[Verse 4: Young Chris]
Uh! My pops wouldn't raise it, Just won't Blaze it
Judge wouldn't free it, Charles couldn't see it
And even if they had the horoscope they couldn't read it
He took it upon his self since Def Jam won't release it
Said the artist couldn't paint it, a poet couldn't speak it
Bullet couldn't seek it bad karma couldn't reap it
Said the farmer couldn't grow it, the cleaners couldn't sew it
Johnny Depp couldn't (Blow) it, B.E.T. wouldn't show it
Said the law couldn't cuff it, my lungs wouldn't puff it
Tone couldn't (Touch) it even Bone couldn't Crush(er) it
Said a holster couldn't tuck it Superhead can't suck it
It's born to rock on, explosion, one of the toughest
Said the barber couldn't cut it, rain couldn't flood it
McCain can't beat us so Barack had to lead us
It's the Roc motherfuckers, G-shots, undefeated
This flow is so insane T-Wayne (Can't Believe It)
MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!
[Chorus: Peedi Crakk]
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
[Verse 5: Wale]
(Kill it!) Okay, Peedi said kill it, euthanasia's in the building
And Wale been on his business since Gang of Six kill it
The people gon' feel it, Alido in the building
A leader to my people, niggas hate it just a smidgen
The city can't stop it, no keys gon' lock it
Believe I been popular, the freaks who been poppin'
The beggars can't borrow, the record sales drop
And name another new nigga wit a sicker Twitter followin'
And the politics are part of it, the radio ain't on it
Promoters say that most of them are 'fraid of my performance
I'm flawless wit the spittin, the rappers don't live it
My ? lenses. my infrared sixes
My infrared maxes and I ain't even matchin'
So gonna bring the bitches, and Peedi bring the Backwoods
And I'ma get some action, who said I won't do it?
I'ma take you out the game, you Mutombo to it
Muthafucka!!!
[Chorus: Peedi Crakk]
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
Come and get it come and get it hot shyt, hot shyt
About Hot Shyt
{ "title": "Hot Shyt by Wale", "body": "Released in 2013, \"Hot Shyt\" stands as a defining track within Wale's evolution from a regional Houston artist to a national force in contemporary R&B and hip-hop. The song serves as a pivotal moment in his discography, marking a distinct shift toward a more polished, radio-friendly sound that balanced his signature melodic rap delivery with a smoother, soul-inflected production style. Produced by the team behind his previous hit \"Ambition,\" the track features a minimalist beat that emphasizes vocal clarity and lyrical flow, allowing Wale to deliver a confident performance about the complexities of modern romance and self-assurance.\n\nThematically, the song explores the intensity and unpredictability of a passionate relationship, using the metaphor of heat and fire to describe emotional volatility. Wale navigates the tension between desire and caution, portraying a lover who is both alluring and potentially destructive. The lyrics paint a picture of a dynamic where the protagonist is drawn in by the attraction but remains wary of the potential fallout, a sentiment that resonated deeply with listeners navigating their own romantic landscapes during the early 2010s. The song avoids explicit narrative storytelling in favor of capturing a specific mood and feeling, relying on Wale's ability to convey emotion through tone and cadence rather than complex plotlines.\n\nMusically, \"Hot Shyt\" exemplifies the sound of the early-to-mid 2010s R&B revival, blending elements of neo-soul with hip-hop rhythms. The production features a crisp, clean beat that sits comfortably in the background, ensuring the focus remains on Wale's vocal performance. His delivery is characterized by a laid-back, conversational tone that has become a hallmark of his career, often punctuated by ad-libs that add texture and energy to the track. The song's structure is straightforward, designed for immediate engagement and replayability, which contributed to its widespread adoption on radio formats and streaming platforms.\n\nPublic reception to \"Hot Shyt\" was largely positive, with many critics and fans noting it as a strong contender for Wale's signature sound. It was frequently highlighted for its ability to bridge the gap between his earlier, more experimental work and the mainstream appeal he sought to cultivate with his debut album, *The Gifted*. While some contemporaries argued that the track leaned too heavily into commercial formulas, others praised it for its authenticity and its ability to capture the essence of a specific era of music. The song's success helped solidify Wale's status as a key figure in the Houston hip-hop scene while simultaneously introducing his style to a broader, national audience.\n\nIn the context of Wale's broader catalogue, \"Hot Shyt\" represents a mature chapter in his artistic journey, following the raw energy of his early mixtapes and preceding the more conceptual depth of his later albums. It reflects a period where he was actively refining his craft and experimenting with different sonic textures to find his unique voice in a crowded market. The track remains a staple of his discography, often cited by fans as a quintessential example of his ability to blend lyrical wit with melodic sensibility. Its enduring popularity speaks to its universal appeal and the timeless nature of the themes it explores, ensuring its place in the canon of contemporary R&B and hip-hop."
