Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(You got it)
(If you don't want it baby you go it) (Just watch the move)
I was in the 212
('Cause you got it, ah)
I was in the 212 (baby you got it ah)(Just watch the move)
Hey I can be the answer
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 could freak a 'fit, that pump with the peep and
You know what your bitch become when her weave in
I just wanna sip that punch with your peeps and
Sit in that lunch if you're treating
The move, the move, the move, the move, the move, the move
Break it down for me fellas
(The beginning of)
(If you want it) (I know how it feels) (break it down for me fellas)
(If you want it baby you got it) (just watch the move)
If you want it
You got it
If you want it baby you got it
Break it down for me fellas
The song '212' by Azealia Banks featuring Lazy Jay is a fast-paced and electrifying track with lyrics that are bold, confident and unapologetic. The song starts with the repetition of "If you want it, you got it" followed by "If you don't want it baby you got it, just watch the move". Through these lines, Banks seems to be saying that she is aware of her own worth and is not afraid to flaunt it. She knows that she has what it takes to be the center of attention and if others don't want to acknowledge it, that's their loss.
The chorus of the song has her proclaiming that she was in the 212 (referring to the area code for Manhattan), and that whoever wants to come and join her can do so, as she has got it all covered. She then goes on to assert herself as the "answer" and that she is ready to dance when the "vamp up" (a term that means to get ready for a party or event). She emphasizes that she has been confident and fearless since she was young and has always been the one who wants to compete. She finishes off by saying that she just wants to have fun and enjoy life with her friends.
Overall, the song is a celebration of individuality, confidence, and courage. Banks uses her lyrics to assert herself as an empowered woman who is not afraid to be herself and has all the qualities that make her stand out from the crowd.
