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

SvarSletThey are a hip hop group of 3. Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek. They are all from Cape Town. They have released 2 albums in 2009 and 2010.
Die Antwoord does in english mean the answer.
2) What is ZEF?
It is a South African counter-culture movement
3) Watch the video and read the lyrics below: What does the song say about life in contemporary South Africa
The life in South Africa is racism, apartheid, crime, wack
1. They are a South African futuristic rap-rave crew from South Africa. Die Antwoord means: Svaret.
SvarSlet2. Zef is an afrikaans slang word, that means "common".
3. Racism is gone, but there is still a lot of crime.
Die Antwoord is a South African rap-rave band. Die Antwoord means the answer in Afrikaans.
SvarSletZEF is a South African counter-culture movement, which means that it's a subculture, whose values and norms of behavior is the opposites of the mainstream culture.
I think the song says about life in contemporary South Africa that you need to break with the old and make some new norms and values.
