Gimme a Chance
Azealia Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Can grow, can grow, can grow, can grow)
Carolina H fits, hottest bitch from the block
Used to puff Phillies n' Duchies n' Stuff Nicks
Now I light doobies, the cutie from five fifth!
Life like a movie, she typing her own script
What this? young sis, made it from the cement
Put on for her city, I pop in Metropolis
Hold this chocolate and focused know this vocal, and chosen
Opponents leave 'em dead in they own crypt!
Murder she wrote, she prefer it in cursive
The purse sick, the verse is perversive
They worship, making the words skip
Superb witch in demand, she's perfect
Understand the plan the blueprint
100 grand in the hand its on grip
That's the way that our love can grow
Make the play and then not too slow
Gimme A Chance, I will have to make you dance
Make a play upon the dance floor
I'll be waiting there 'till knock the door
Money getting galore, cream cover the pores
Honey drip on ya jaw, Mami spittin' allure
I'mma get it for sure, getting it all
I'm dreaming it big, 2Pac it Shakur!
Vision it clear, who's stopping a star?
You deep in the rear while I'm knocking it forward
Impressing the pair, but 3 get 'em a charm
You checking from where? New Yorker to heart
Harlem girl from the block, ponytail with the part
If you give me a gimme a, I'mma give you a lot
Many Benji's from Penny's bet you can't hustle a fox!
Tony, Oscar, or Emmy is you acting or not?
Phony homies and any and who happen to plot?
They come up with empty, while you beam to the top
While you cream of the crop!
That's the way that our love can grow
Make the play and then not too slow
Gimme A Chance, I will have to make you dance
Make a play upon the dance floor
I'll be waiting there 'till knock the door
Llevate el dinero, y ese bandolero
Nada me hace falta, y yo a el no lo quiero
Todo mi vida ha cambiado, estoy mejor cada dia
Lamento informarte, no funcionó la brujería!
Mira como baila, la nena morena
Mira como baila, sin llanto, ni Pena
Mira como baila, la nena morena
Mira como baila, sin llanto, ni Pena
Libre independiente, me dice la gente
Rebelde y Caprichosa, pero eso es otra cosa
Yo mucho pa ti, tu muy poco pa mi
Ahora mas que nunca, me siento feliz
Actitud positiva, la regla de mi vida
Si no me conviene, hacia mi no viene
En control me quede estoy a cargo de todo
Mi vida, mi suerte como dicen ache!
Mira como baila, la nena morena
Mira como baila, sin llanto, ni Pena
Mira como baila, la nena morena

The chorus emphasizes her desire to grow and evolve, to take on new challenges in life and love, to embrace change and the unknown, and to move forward with confidence and determination.
In the second verse, the focus shifts to her hustle, her talent, her beauty, and her star power. She's a money-making machine, a force of nature, and a true artist.

She's a Harlem girl who knows how to hustle and who values loyalty and hard work. The third verse is in Spanish and highlights her independence and strength of character. She's a free spirit, a rebel, a dreamer, and a fighter, and she's not afraid to stand up for what she believes in.

[Intro: Enon]That's the way that our love can grow(Can grow, can grow, can grow, can grow)
[Verse 1]
Carolina H fits, hottest bitch from the block
Used to puff Phillies n' Duchies n' Stuff Nicks
Now I light doobies, the cutie from five fifth!
Life like a movie, she typing her own script
What this? young sis
Made it from the cement, started pushing her own bricks
Put on for her city, I pop in Metropolis
Hold this, chocolate and focusedKnow this, vocal and chosen
Opponents, leave ‘em dead in they own crypt!
Murder she wrote, she prefer it in cursive
The purse sick, the verse is perversive
They worship, making the words skip
Superb witch in demand, she’s perfect
Understand the plan the blueprint
100 grand in the hand its on grip
[Chorus: Enon]
That's the way that our love can grow
Make the play and then not too slow
Gimme A Chance, I will have to make you dance
Make a play upon the dance floor
I'll be waiting there 'till knock the door
[Verse 2]
Money getting galore, cream cover the pores
Honey drip on ya jaw, Mami spittin' allure
I'mma get it for sure, getting it all
I'm dreaming it big, 2Pac it Shakur!
Vision it clear, who’s stopping a star?
You deep in the rear while I'm knocking it forward
Impressing the pair/peer, but 3 get ‘em a charm
You checking from where? New Yorker to heart
Harlem girl from the block, ponytail with the part
If you give me a gimme a, I'mma give you a lot
Many Benji’s from Penny's bet you can’t hustle a fox!
Tony, Oscar, or Emmy is you acting or not?
Phony homies and any and who happen to plot?
They come up with empty, while you beam to the top
While you cream of the crop!
[Chorus: Enon]
That's the way that our love can grow
Make the play and then not too slow
Gimme A Chance, I will have to make you dance
Make a play upon the dance floor
I'll be waiting there 'till knock the door
[Bridge]
