Cause your bitch hot nigga finna fuck up the fun
Don't fuck with your bitch when the rum in her punch
I might dance on these niggas but the gun in the butt
The gold Jimmy's little mirror little stun in the clutch
And don't slip up little nigga, 'fore the stun in your nuts
Yo' dude bout to fuck up your trust
He gonna run when I hit ya, put you under the pump
You gonna run with your nigga, now you closer enough
To shoot once in the throat leave ya both in a slump (huh)

The lyrics of Azealia Banks's “Fuck Up the Fun” are rapped from an authoritative, aggressive perspective, with the intent to challenge and intimidate her audience. The tone of the lyrics is confrontational, with Azealia challenging any individual who wants to come up against her- “who want it, who-who want it?” The lyrics use violent and sexual language to create a sense of confusion in the listener's mind. Azealia Banks refers to incidents of violence, and glorifies the use of guns and violence in general to keep her enemies, mainly men, in check.
Azealia Banks also brings up issues of gender and power, attempting to shift the power dynamic of a male-dominated hip hop industry in her favor. She calls out men as food, and threatens them with violence at every turn, especially when they cross her path- “Don't fuck with your bitch when the rum in her punch/ I might dance on these niggas but the gun in the butt.” (The word “butt” most likely is referenced in the gun tucked in her pants.) Overall, the lyrics showcase Azealia's bold and carefree attitude towards life, without any regard for consequence or accountability.
