Iggz
Look, turn me up, break the knob right
I get dressed like it's prom night
I feed them lemons in the limelight
They say I'm full, lost my appetite?
(Hell nah) Keep on pushing like a dealer (say what?)
(Hell nah) Keep on shooting, Reggie Miller (say what?)
(Hell nah) Go and give 'em all the finger
You gotta set the score right, call it Hans Zimmer
My time wherever I go
I took a chance like I'm from Chicago
Hundred-plus in that Murcielago
'Bout to go ape, hey, yurn it to the cango

Baby, I got me
Baby, I got me
And that's all I need
Yeah, that's all I need
Baby, I got me
Only friend, by me
Playing on my team
Is someone like

Me, baby, no way
Watch me while I do my thing
Oh, baby, no way
Are you fucking with the team?

Outchea, pronto
Hit 'em with the dose, that's a combo
Running through ya block, no fumble
'Bout to kill 'em all, where the shovel?
See, I gotta go for mine
Ben-ja-jammin', that money on my mind
Jamaican club, I'm stayin' on the grind
Dutty wine, don't step on this land mine
Ven aqui, andele
You tryna take flight, do what I say
Hundred-plus volts on the highway
Watch a new Kardash', call me Kylie

Baby, I got me
Baby, I got me
And that's all I need
Yeah, that's all I need
Baby, I got me
Only friend, by me
Playing on my team
Is someone like

Me, baby, no way
Watch me while I do my thing
Oh, baby, no way
Are you fucking with the team?

Are you workin' with some cash here, cash here?
Hundred-thousand on the dash yeah, dash yeah
All the ladies shake it fast yeah, fast yeah
Now vogue on that ass, yep, yeah we in here

Are you workin' with some cash here, cash here?
Hundred-thousand on the dash yeah, dash yeah
All the ladies shake it fast yeah, fast yeah
Now vogue on that ass, yep, yeah we in here

Baby, I got me
Baby, I got me
And that's all I need
Yeah, that's all I need
Baby, I got me
Only friend, by me
Playing on my team

Watch me while I do my thing
Oh, baby, no way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Iggy Azalea's song Team are about empowerment and being self-reliant. The chorus repeats the message, "Baby, I got me, And that's all I need." The song encourages listeners to trust in themselves and to not let others bring them down. The first verse talks about keeping on pushing through adversity like a dealer, Reggie Miller shooting hoops, and giving everyone the finger. The second verse is about going for the money and not letting anything stop you. The bridge talks about being with people who are like her and the importance of having a team.


In the verses, Iggy uses several cultural references to convey her message. Her line about "feeding lemons in the limelight" is a reference to Beyonce's Lemonade album and its themes of female empowerment. She also mentions Reggie Miller, a former NBA player who was known for his determination and tenacity on the court. In the bridge, she talks about being on a team like her, which could be seen as a nod to her Australian background and the importance of mateship in that culture.
