I'm ready to dance when the vamp up
And when I hit that dip get your camera
You could see I been that bitch since the Pamper
And that I am that young sis, the beacon
The bitch who wants to compete and
I can freak a fit that pump with the peep and
You know what your bitch become when her weave inI just wanna sip that punch with your peeps and
Sit in that lunch if you're treatin'
Kick it with your bitch who come from Parisian
She know where I get mine from, and the season
Now she wanna lick my plum in the evenin'
And fit that ton-tongue d-deep in
I guess that cunt getting eaten
I guess that cunt getting eaten
I guess that cunt getting eaten
I guess that cunt getting eaten
I guess that cunt getting eaten
I was in 212 on the uptown A
Nigga, you know what's up or don't you?
Word to who made ya
I'm a rude bitch, nigga, what are you made up of?
I'ma eat your food up boo, I could bust your eight

Fuck him like you do want to cum

Plus your bitch might lick it
Wonder who let you come to 12With your doo-doo crew, son, fuck are you into, huh?
Niggas better oooh-run-run

In "212," Azealia Banks boasts about her skills and success as a rapper, positioning herself as the answer to the current state of hip hop. The references to vamp up and dip are nods to the ballroom culture, and Banks showcases her dance moves while daring others to compete with her. She also speaks about her sexual prowess, using vulgar terms to describe what she can do, which can be seen as empowering for women. The hook "I guess that cunt getting eaten" is a repetition of this theme. Intertwined with all of this braggadocio is a call-out to those who may be talking behind her back, and a warning that she will come out on top. She also throws in some references to the New York City subway system, specifically riding on the uptown A train in the 212 zip code.
Overall, "212" is a bold and confident declaration of Azealia Banks’s dominance in the rap game. It showcases her ability to rap with fierce rhymes and a unique flow, all while staying true to herself and her authentic style.
