Anything I choose he buys I observe by his shoes and ties
He prefer the exclusive kind converse over booze and wine
Tonights the night the jewels is bright anyway I move he like
He is searching for cutie pie he could scoop and sign keep a blue dressed down to my Louboutins
Keep my calm keep my cool
Heard you got a girlfriend but she's a deuce
Do you wanna see a little bambi in the nude chocolate candy liqorice too
Head of the class but I got prinicipals too
Arching my back give em' a view
He wanna taste the cinnamon too
Sex is a race and I'm winnin' it too
I'm a rude bitch but I like gentlemen
Who spend dividends, benji's, residuals too
When he put it in I'm rememberin' you
Who's his girlfriend never a clue what?

Nasty
The song "Esta Noche" by Azealia Banks is a club banger that talks about a night out with a man who seems to be interested in her. The lyrics about buying expensive shoes and ties show that the man is willing to spend a lot of money to impress her. She uses sexuality to entice him, mentioning her curves and cinnamon-like taste. The chorus has her comparing herself to his girlfriend, saying she looks better and can provide what she cannot. The bridge talks about making love and getting physical, while the second verse is a rap that refers to other women as "weak bitches" and discusses the power dynamic in relationships.
The song has garnered some controversy for the sexually suggestive lyrics and its use of explicit language. However, it has also been praised for its catchy beat and Banks's skilled rapping. The song was released in 2012 and was produced by Munchi.

Tonight's the night, the mood is right
Anything I choose he buys,
I observe by his shoes and tie
He prefered the exclusive cunt
Converse over blues and wine
Tonight's the night,the jewels is bright
Anywhere you move, feet likes
And you're searching for cutie pie
He can scoop the sign
Keep our boo dressed down
'Til my movie time
Keep my calm,keep my cool
Heard you got a girlfriend but she's a douche
Well I slip the little bambie in the noche
Chocolate candy, liqourish too
On the mood to get physical soon
Ahead of the class, but I got principals too
Arching my back,giving him view
He wanna taste the cinnamon too
Sex is a race, I'm winning it too
I'm a rude bitch, but I like gentlemen hose
Spend of his benjies and residual suit
