However, it is very easy to understand why leading dj’s and radio tastemakers alike are eating away at anything these "Belgian Beatmeisters"serve.
In a world where conformity is king and copy/paste seems to be the norm, Lazy Jay represents an edgier, grittier sound, infusing dance with an almost hip-hop-like quality, completely lacking within today’s polished hit music conventions.
“We don’t think, we just do. And sometimes somebody likes it.”
Lazy Jay: 2 brothers, one big idea and no rules.

Lazy Jay Lyrics
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 lyrics of "212" by Lazy Jay is about a confident and strong-willed woman who is ready to party and show off her dance moves. The artist sings about being in the 212, which is a reference to the area code of Manhattan, New York City, specifically the neighborhood of Harlem which is known for its vibrant music and dance culture. The woman identifies herself as a young, competitive, and fashionable woman who can make a statement with her style and dance moves. She exudes confidence and is ready to take on any challenge thrown her way.
The opening lines of the song ("If you don't want it, you got it") can be interpreted as a warning or challenge to anyone who thinks they can bring her down or not give her the respect she deserves. The repeated lines "just watch the move" can be seen as a confident statement telling others to pay attention to her skills and abilities. The song also references popular culture like Pamper (a brand of baby diapers) and weaves, both of which are associated with Black women's hairstyles.
In essence, the song celebrates the spirit of being young, confident, and ready to showcase one's talents to the world.
