Azealia Banks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guess who up in this bitch?
Catch you duckin' this clip
Dick, who want it? My nigga it's nothin'
Them boys young drummers, y'all niggas keep gunnin'
But y'all niggas ain't gutter like me
Look at this bitch, magazine covered and shit
Young sex seller, yeah, bitch, keep mumblin'
Fuck how you feel, a young bitch keeps thuggin' it
Nigga, I'm still in these streets
Look at this wrist, look at these colorful chips
Look at these tiddies, double D's, it's double-dutch
I be on the strip, dungarees with the bubble butt
Pumpin' that kilo, that ki!

A to the B!
Dance to the big big beat
Dance to the big big beat with a bitch like
Dance to the big big beat
Dance to the big big beat
A to the B!
Dance to the big big beat
Dance to the big big beat
Just like this, the big big beat
Dance to the big big beat

You've been 'round the world
Looking for love in the strangest places
Don't you think it's time you confess your love to me?
Shining diamond
All of your facets you've so many faces
Bet your evil smile'll convince anyone who sees
You've been 'round the world
Looking for love in the strangest places
Don't you think it's time you confess your love to me?
Shining diamond
All of your facets you've so many faces
Bet your evil smile'll convince anyone who sees

Ooh, boy, ooh, boy
Ooh, boy, I think I know just what you need
Ooh, boy, ooh, boy
Ooh, boy, yeah you need a taste of ecstasy
Ooh, boy, ooh, boy
Ooh, boy, I think I know just what you need
Ooh, boy, ooh, boy
Ooh, boy, yeah you need a taste of ecstasy

Pocket them dividends, christen that bezel
You plottin' on niggas, you pickin' that petal
How could that little young bitch from the ghetto hit the jackpot, ran off with the cash pot!
Keep jockin' this jiggy bitch, jigglin' - hello!
That gymnast body, black feminist rebel
Spend a hundred thou' on the Jesuit medal
Just to prove y'all dudes what it be!

Just like this
Dance to the big big beat
Just like this
The 1, 2, uh
Dance to the big big beat
Just just like me
The big big beat
Here comes the big bad witch from the big big beat
The big big beat
It's the big big, uh, beat
The big big beat
Here comes the big bad witch from the big big beat
Niggas I'm in these streets
Ice cream, butter roll
Chips with bubble gum
Nails with the tips
Gold chains - what a gutterbutt!
New York City everyday what the fuck is up
Haters, I hit 'em real deep in the jugular




Look at this sex -OD
Bet ya wanna fuck

I can’t understand how Kanye can get away with all of his toxic problematic shit, yet she gets snubbed. Her talent is unmatched.

misogyny

Ethan

Cuz when Ye does it it's actually funny as sh*t

The Fruity Levant

Kanye didn't start being really problematic until he made a name of himself, also he has a solid fanbase that consists of toxic men so whatever he does, he will still have their support

PoptartBumbleBeePoop

@Ethan SAME W AZEALIA THO??

Bella Mi

I think it maybe because Kanyes fanbase is mostly men, and one thing about men is that they will stick besides each other no matter how garbage the other one is. On the other hand Azealias target audience is women of all sexualities and gay/queer men, but women (gay or straight) have been taught to fight each other, have impossible standards and NEVER stick together! That's why Azealias fanbase right now is mostly gay men, cause at the end of the day men care much less about what is right or wrong as long as they get what they want.

Lesson to be learned: Women of all sexualities need to be MORE LIKE MEN. Stick to each other, support other women (yes even when they're not being morally right) . In order for women to become equal there needs to be a REBALANCE and such balance is only aqcuired through extreme methods pro pro womanhood like defending and siding with womanhood and femininity EVEN when theyre wrong.
