Song Meaning
1K Phew and Lecrae trade verses here in the language of street bravado and hustle — 'it's too hot, are you ridin' or not' — but Lecrae's verse turns that same competitive energy toward a specifically theological claim: 'doin' business with a Kingdom agenda... they don't like it when we eat with the sinners.' That line pulls directly from Luke 5:32's account of Jesus eating with tax collectors and sinners, drawing criticism for exactly the same reason the song names — proximity to people considered beneath respectable company.
Matthew 6:33's instruction to seek God's kingdom first sits behind 'Kingdom agenda' as more than a catchphrase; it's the frame the whole verse operates inside, even while the language around it stays street-level rather than churchy. 'Jesus, we still represent Him' closes the verse plainly, making clear that the swagger running through the rest of the song isn't separate from the faith — it's the register that faith gets expressed in here, not a departure from it.

[1K Phew:]
King of the court (Yeah)
Get in there
Okay, cool
Yeah, tell them folks business is business
I came with them soldiers, I feel like lieutenant (I feel like lieutenant)
I ain't look down in a minute, I told y'all this bigger than Guinness and we ain't even finished (I told y'all)
Cous' in the slammer, the police done caught him, like Dennis the Menace, they gave him the sentence (Ayy, hol' on, woo, woo)
'Bout two times, I done ran from the cops
Then it came up, invest, no stocks
Good times, 'cause it taught me that thou shalt not, we livin' hot
I felt swell 'til I got caught
No, I did not tell, when they put me on the spot (No)
It's too hot, are you ready or not?
It's too hot, are you slidin' or not?
It's too hot, are you ridin' or not?
It's too hot, I might take off the top
It's too hot, I might skrt off the lot (I might skrt)
It's too hot, they gon' hate when you pop
It's too hot, I can't play with no opp
It's too hot, I can't play with no cop
[Lecrae:]
I can't get off of my pivot
It's been a minute, strugglin' but I been deliverin' (Yeah)
Get back to paintin' these pictures
I'm makin' movies, told her, "Let's get it" (Yeah)
Hot like a Middle East winter, Saudi December
Y'all know the team full of winners
We've been workin' since your team was beginners
Doin' business with a Kingdom agenda
They don't like it when we eat with the sinners (Woo)
Spirit come meet us for dinner (Woo)
Boy, we legit, no pretender, ah
Jesus, we still represent Him (Yeah)
Light it up (Light it up), burn it up (Yeah)
Boy's too hot, better double-up (Too hot)
Run it up (Run it up), run it up (Yeah)
Runnin' with the King, not with none of us
[1K Phew:]
Ready or not
It's too hot, are you slidin' or not?
It's too hot, are you ridin' or not?
It's too hot, I might take off the top
It's too hot, I might skrt off the lot (I might skrt)
It's too hot, they gon' hate when you pop
It's too hot, I can't play with no opp
It's too hot, I can't play with no cop
