Too Hot (feat. DJ Babu) Lyrics


[Chorus Cuts: DJ Babu:]
Just too hot to touch
Just too hot to touch i got what you want[Madchild:]
Although I plan to go out with a bang not a whimper
I still gotta watch my temper
Watch over both shoulders cause of what I'm into
Sometimes I get emotional cause of what I've been through
It goes..
Anger, anger, thats one of my hangups
You dont wanna rock and roll kid, your head gets banged up
Feel tension, blood starts pumpin
My friends always win in the fights, I still jump in
And I dont have a drinking problem
I drink, talk shit, fall down no problem
When i drink its a problem, cause I cause problems
Cold hearted, man I'm so robotic
Not like you forgot but I'm slightly psychotic
I'm here to terrorize the world

And fuck the minds up of you boys and girls[Chorus Cuts][Prevail:]
Complete sweep like a cluster bomb
Cold as death, hold your breath till the dust is gone
>From the lost angel city to the gotham skyline
We're still public access but watch us go primetime
I'm Cannonball Crush, not Cane or Able
I reign like Charlamain and just as fatal
Even worse, I'm not vain or narcissistic
Preach like an arch bishop from the darkest district
In the killing field planting seeds of dissent
Fast fascinating demons flashing dreams of contempt
Come on, self contained I'm my own metropolis
Go against the grain for the throne of the populace
Kingdoms I want em, hand em over, relinquish
Or I'll douse them in flames that you'll never extinguish
My right hand writes in sequential order
Eventually I'll make you lifespan potentially shorter[Chorus Cuts][Madchild:]
I'm Fuckin with em....
Did so much dirt cant rinse the filth
Wealthy but concerned with my mental health
Hope to got to heaven but I've been through hell
Think I'm going crazy man please dont tell
Cops hate me they want to throw me in jail
Hate to think if they got me alone in a cell
I'm pretty sure it wouldnt go so well
Cause aint nobody coming when you yell for help[Prevail:]
We're the fast and elite
What else, the young and the vigorous
You should probably keep your distance
Cause my hunger is hideous
Tell affiliates and friends theres no need to defend
When the warriors descend is where the story will end
Were ageless and timeless, your faceless and spineless
So let us lead the way while they follow in blindness[Chorus Cuts]

Swollen Members was founded in the mid-1990s by Vancouverites Mad Child, Prevail and Moka Only. Having begun a solo career while living in San Francisco, California, Mad Child returned to Vancouver for some work. There he met Prevail and Moka Only, working as partners and making a name together on Canada's West coast hip hop community. The trio saw each other's abilities, thought they heard opportunity knocking, and joined together under the name Swollen Members. Soon after, however, Moka Only decided he wanted to pursue a solo career and left the group.

In 1996, Mad Child and Prevail went to the B-Boy Summit in San Diego, California, where Mad Child won several rap battles and was initiated into the Rock Steady Crew, legendary to the hip hop/b-boy scene. The Crew is held in great respect as hip hop's highest collective - to join one must win a contest of skill against one of the highest ranked members. Swollen Members is one of only three rap groups affiliated with Rock Steady.

That same year, the duo began recording their first tracks, with help from many of their friends from the scene - MCs, DJs, and producers, including Rob the Viking. Rob would continue to work with the group through the years, eventually joining them later. From the praise they were receiving, they decided it was time to release their material as a group. With the subsequent release of three 12" singles on Mad Child's record label Battleaxe Records, the group quickly established themselves in the scene and built a respectable following. The next logical step was to release an album, which was titled Balance and released in 1999.

Balance received wide critical acclaim and has been claimed by the band to have sold in excess of 50,000 copies. Featuring collaborations with artists such as Everlast, Divine Styler, and Dilated Peoples, the album also netted Swollen Members the 2001 Juno Award for Best Rap Recording.

Following Balance, Swollen Members recorded and released Bad Dreams, which successfully dodged the so-called "sophomore curse" many artists suffer upon their second release. Bad Dreams was released on November 13, 2001, featuring guests such as Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, Son Doobie, Joey Chavez, and former member Moka Only. Like their debut, Bad Dreams was surprisingly successful for an independent rap album and brought Swollen Members global acclaim. Surprisingly, it appealed to both underground and mainstream audiences, with several singles reaching platinum status in Canada.

The album also earned Swollen Members their second Juno Award, and four MuchMusic Video Awards. The group continues to tour, visiting every major market possible and performing hundreds of shows a year; some with nearly 15,000 audience members. The media continues to give their music and live shows excellent coverage around the globe, and both new and old singles receive solid airplay on college and commercial radio. Their tracks have also been featured in a multitude of films, television programs, extreme sports videos, commercials, video games (especially games produced by Electronic Arts, which has a studio in their hometown of Vancouver), and compilation albums, the sales of which total in the millions when combined.

Swollen Members have appeared on numerous television shows, in addition to having several of their live shows televised. Like their singles, their music videos have been heavily played on both the Canadian MuchMusic and the American MTV, as well as on many independent video shows.

2002's Monsters in the Closet, their third release, brought them greater fame than ever before. Where Moka Only and Rob the Viking had only peripherally assisted the duo before, they now became official members of the group. Monsters included several unreleased tracks and remixes, as well as collaborations from fellow British Columbian Nelly Furtado and Saukrates of Def Jam. Production credits included Evidence from Dilated Peoples.

2003 brought Heavy, released yet again to critical acclaim and powerful sales, despite dismal video play time on MuchMusic. The band considers it the bridge between their underground origins and their potential for fame. Unfortunately the album was controversial among Swollen Members' fanbase. Many fans claim that Swollen Members have removed many elements of their style which had awarded them in the past. The lines were drawn between fans who began to listen to Swollen Members when Monsters in the Closet came out and fans attracted by the earlier two albums (especially Balance). They continue to tour, playing both local and international shows to the delight of their hometown fans.

In 2005 Moka Only decided to break off from the group for a second time and continue work on his solo career.

In 2006 Swollen Members released their fifth full album, Black Magic. It is understood that Mad Child and Prevail made an attempt to return to their previously critically acclaimed style and method. Their previous album Heavy was seen by the band as a disappointment, and isn't listed on their official site discography.

In August 2006, Swollen Members released their new single "Put Me On - Feat. Everlast" off of their new album, "Black Magic".

Their next CD is scheduled to be released at the end of the summer of 2008. According to the band's website, Mad Child will soon release a solo album.
