[Verse 1: Iggy Azalea]
What you looking at, do I got something in my eye?
Do I got shit up on my face, or did my hair catch on fire?
Cause you really really staring, am I something that you like?
Geez, ask for my number or you can fly a kite
See I'm 'bout to get with it, I'm getting ratchet and livid
You think I'm cool, then forget it
You feeling froggy then ribbit
Be like banana and slip it, before your melon I'll split it
I bet you know what you see, is oh my girl she deserve a
Beat down

[Bridge: Iggy Azalea]
Stop, wait
Think about it

[Verse 2: Iggy Azalea]
Work, work, run up, if you want some
Hear the drums how they beat here, that's how you done
Wait, I should think about it, never mind it's a waste
When the bitch hit the ground, how these Louboutins taste
I'm sorry, club promoter, let's put this in the past
It's just that bitch kept on staring, so I had to whoop that ass

Beat down, beat down, beat down
Beat down, beat down, beat down

[Hook: Iggy Azalea]
It's a party in your face, I'm about to dance on it
'Bout to dance on it, 'bout to dance on it
It's a party in your face, I'm about to dance on it
'Bout to dance on it, 'bout to dance on it
You win some, you lose some
But her, it's her day
You win some, you lose some
But her, it's her day
Beat down
It's a party in your face, I'm about to dance on it
'Bout to dance on it, 'bout to dance on it
It's a party in your face, I'm about to dance on it
'Bout to dance on it, 'bout to dance on it

[Bridge: Iggy Azalea]
Stop, wait
Think about it

Beat down, beat down, beat down
Beat down, beat down, beat down
Beat down, beat down, beat down
Beat down, beat down, beat down

[Verse 3: Iggy Azalea]
Check it out ladies, don't take no lip
Take no lip, take take no lip
If you ride for your girls, then pump your fist
Pump your fist, pump pump your fist
Now swing it at the ho that you think looking funny
If she came with a man then take all his money
It's the year of the woman, go grab a can of these whoopings
And then as soon as she looking Aoki she gon' get it
Beat down, beat down, beat down
Ay yo cause she gonn get it
Beat down, beat down, beat down
Beat down, beat down, beat down
Ay yo cause she gonn get it
Beat down, beat down, beat down
Beat down, beat down, beat down

Amethyst Amelia Kelly (b. June 7, 1990), better known by her stage name Iggy Azalea, is an Australian rapper and songwriter signed to Island Records and Roc Nation. After being raised in a small town called Mullumbimby and feeling like an outsider, in 2006, at the age of 16, she moved to the United States to pursue a career in hip hop music, stating that she was drawn to the birthplace of rap, and resided in the Southern part of the country.

Moving from Miami to Houston to Atlanta, Iggy absorbed the Southern-style drawl of her surroundings and released her debut project, a mixtape titled Ignorant Art in September 2011, shortly after relocating to Los Angeles. Iggy commented that she made it “with intent to make people question and redefine old ideals.” The project’s raw electronic sound accentuated her unique style that would become a trademark throughout her career. Prior to the release of the mixtape, she had been sharing several home videos on her YouTube channel as an underground rapper and her debut music video for “Pu$$y” quickly went viral due to its explicit nature. In 2012, Iggy became the first female and the first non-American rapper to be featured on XXL’s annual Freshman Class cover issue.

Iggy then aligned herself with the self-proclaimed “King of the South” T.I., who executive produced her free EP Glory released in July 2012 through his Grand Hustle imprint, which included their popular collaboration “Murda Bizness”. Later that year, she was featured on the Hustle Gang Cypher at the BET Hip Hop Awards. In October 2012, Iggy released her second mixtape TrapGold, produced entirely by Diplo and 1st Down of FKi. In the following year, she was selected as the tour opening act for the likes of Beyoncé and Nas.
