Glory
Iggy Azalea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m just tryin’ to build my army up
But these days they shootin’ at me with a tommy gun
Carry the weight ’cause I’m strong enough
Sometimes they hate,make me feel like I’m pulling the tank trap
What’s the fuss I bought the murda bizness to all of them
They asking questions like I ain’t fucking my dressing
Now we talking about auto or we talking about perception
If the banks pulling my record, if not then shove it
While others coming up shorter than nail flims
I realize I may be the realest bitch they ever dealt with
And to be honest these rumours be all fables
See I don’t get rap I drive the label
Let’s keep it very clear, I’m doing just fine
I’m sitting on the millions your bank’s flatline
Death to the haters face it one time
You got your own dig bitch why you rhyme mine

(Hook)
Kick me down but I’m a champion
Heard them say they can knock you off
Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Carry the weight like a champion
Come sell the dreams to the other ones
Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Nevermind them,never nevermind them

(Verse)
I never learned to fail , all I know is win
The haters shooting me down,can’t help but press line
I get up walking,they still talking it never ends
They build me up to break me down it builds me up again
On my swim towel shit, even when I’m gone
They gon’ pay to see where I’ve been
I ain’t do this shit alone but it don’t take many friends
But I don’t understand this song,many ma many ma
It’s on for so long, fake bitches can’t pretend
I’m gone with the wind, they can’t even catch my drift
They hatin’ you from hearing, well fuck it read my lips
There’s some things I never do , never lose never quit
Never change who I am, never give a fuck who gives a shit
I’m drunk off life,of course I’m swerving in and shit
I’m in the zone throne empty I’ma take a sit
And like my girl Tiny all these haters on my dick

(Hook)
Kick me down but I’m a champion
Heard them say they can knock you off
Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Carry the weight like a champion
Come sell the dreams to the other ones
Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Nevermind them,never nevermind them

(Hook)
Kick me down but I’m a champion
Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Carry the weight like a champion
Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Nevermind them,never nevermind them

(Hook)
Kick me down but I’m a champion
Heard them say they can knock you off
Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Carry the weight like a champion
Come sell the dreams to the other ones




Nevermind them,never nevermind them
Nevermind them,never nevermind them

on Fancy

[Verse 1 — Iggy Azalea:]
First thing's first, I'm the realest (realest)
Drop this and let the whole world feel it (let them feel it)
And I'm still in the Murda Bizness
I could hold you down, like I'm givin' lessons in physics (right, right)
You should want a bad bitch like this (huh?)
Drop it low and pick it up just like this (yeah)
Cup of Ace, cup of Goose, cup of Cris
High heels, somethin' worth a half a ticket on my wrist (on my wrist)
Takin' all the liquor straight, never chase that (never)
Rooftop like we bringin' '88 back (what?)
Bring the hooks in, where the bass at?
Champagne spillin', you should taste that

[Hook — Charli XCX:]
I'm so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold?
Remember my name
'Bout to blow

[Verse 2 — Iggy Azalea:]
I said, "Baby, I do this, I thought that you knew this."
Can't stand no haters and honest, the truth is
And my flow retarded, each beat did depart it
Swagger on stupid, I can't shop in no department
To get my money on time, if they not money, decline
And swear I meant that there so much that they give that line a rewind
So get my money on time, if they not money, decline
I just can't worry 'bout no haters, gotta stay on my grind
Now tell me, who that, who that? That do that, do that?
Put that paper over all, I thought you knew that, knew that
I be the I-G-G-Y, put my name in bold
I been working, I'm up in here with some change to throw

[Hook — Charli XCX:]
I'm so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold?
Remember my name
'Bout to blow

[Bridge — Charli XCX:]
Trash the hotel
Let's get drunk on the mini bar
Make the phone call
Feels so good getting what I want
Yeah, keep on turning it up
Chandelier swinging, we don't give a fuck
Film star, yeah I'm deluxe
Classic, expensive, you don't get to touch
Ow...

[Verse 3 — Iggy Azalea:]
Still stunned, how you love that?
Got the whole world asking how I does that
Hot girl, hands off, don't touch that
Look at it I bet you wishing you could clutch that
It's just the way you like it, huh?
You so good, he's just wishing he could bite it, huh?
Never turn down money,
Slaying these hoes, gold trigger on the gun like

[Hook — Charli XCX:]
I'm so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold?
Remember my name
'Bout to blow

[Outro:]
Who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
That do that, do that, I-I-G-G-Y
Who that, who that, I-I-I-G-G-Y
Blow

Who-who-who-who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
That do that, do that, I-I-G-G-Y
Who that, who that, I-I-I-G-G-Y
Blow
