Azonto
Fuse ODG Lyrics

Nobody wanna see you rising
People are often envious of success and don't want others to do well

And when they do it they don't like it
Even when others do well, people are often still not happy for them

They just wanna see you deep in crises
People would rather see others struggle than succeed

Drive your self you don't need a license
You don't need permission from others to make your own way in the world

Call the hush you can even ride it
You can succeed quietly without drawing attention to yourself

Go ahead move your feet just like this
Take action and be confident in yourself

Then he showed me the latest
Someone else showed him something new and exciting

We wanna walk over them haters
Instead of letting others bring you down, rise above them

Now watch me do my Azonto, Azonto, Azonto,
Here's how I dance and celebrate my success

We walk over the haters
We refuse to let the negativity of others bring us down

Azonto, zonto, zonto, Azonto, zonto
The name of the dance, repeated for emphasis

Zonto, Azonto, zonto, zonto,
More repetition of the dance's name

Azonto zonto, zonto, Azonto
And even more repetition

Zonto, zonto, Azonto, zonto, zonto
Still more repetition

Azonto, zonto, zonto, Azonto,
The final repetition of the dance's name

The whole world wanna learn how to do this
The dance has become popular worldwide

So Imma take you right through this
He's going to show us step-by-step how to do the dance

Azonto dance is the movement
The dance has become a cultural phenomenon and trend

So when you jump on the floor better use it
Take advantage of the opportunity to join in and have fun dancing

First step is the step-step
The first move in the dance is a simple two-step

You can move to the right to the left-left
Alternate steps to the right and then the left

You can even freestyle when you step-step
It's possible to add your own moves and style to the dance

Put your hands in the air then you rep-rep
Raise your hands and repeat the step you just did

So go, go, go
Encouragement to keep going and enjoy the dance

Twist your fingers you can wave and say hello lo lo
Add finger movements to the dance to be more expressive

Make your fist and you can hit them with the blow, blow, blow
A fun move that involves punching the air in rhythm with the music

No violence thats how you do Azon-zon-to
The dance is meant to be fun and celebratory, not aggressive

Let me see you go go
Encouragement to keep dancing

Killbeatz taught me this
The dance was created by someone named Killbeatz

Sorry sir Azonto... go slow
Instruction to slow down the dance

Move to the rhythm here we go
Get back into the groove and keep dancing

I'll show you how to do this so
He's going to continue demonstrating how to do the dance properly

So mensa men casa
An unclear phrase, possibly a reference to African culture or a specific group of people

Open cross on the salsa
Another dance move involving a cross-step and salsa-style hand movement

Move to the left and right
Simple steps to move side-to-side

And watch me freeze
A move where you stop and hold a position for emphasis

All my ladies strike a pose and freeze
Invitation for women to participate and showcase their own personal style

Photo
Imitating a photo pose for the camera

Drop it low and let the boys say
A lower, more sensual move that's sure to impress

Freestyle it the way you want yourself
The dance is open to interpretation and can be personalized

Head, shoulders, knees and toes freeze
A reference to the children's song and another move where you stop and hold a position

...- freeze
The final freeze move

Migraine skank like show me
A reference to a popular dance move at the time the song was released

Zonto, Azonto, Azonto, Azonto
Re-emphasis on the name of the dance

Zonto, Azonto, Azonto, Azonto
More repetition of the dance's name
