Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, you know what it is, it's Hot 97
My name is Peter Rosenberg and uh
We're gonna get to some music right now
This record called, Desperado
Okay, by my girl, Azealia Banks
Man, I've been waiting for Azealia Banks
[Verse 2]
Desperado
[Verse 3]
Ups and ups seductive pup
Flux did a dip pack up and then strut
Ups ****, what's up, ****?
With that buck, can I get that rompin', uh?
Mutts in tux, deluxe and such
I be in the mirror lookin' lux 'n' plush
Looks and such, seductive strut
I be AquaFizzy or that Passion Punch
Or the fashion's munch with the fabric's flush
You don't get the access, none
Spun him on my axis sun
Hit him with the hazard, hun
Denim and a satin rump
Blend it with the carrot blush
Plus I got the cash and the bass
Have you spazzin' some
Come get your limps in, bum
Dinner with the princess one
Printed in expensive funds
[Verse 4]
Hey, yo
That's how I do my thing
Desperado
Hey, yo
That's how I do my thing
Desperado
[Verse 5]
I be prissy plenty plush and stuff
You be piggy, pissy, penny-crushed and crunched
Crust and dust, slumped and jumped
Queen scissor-cut suit, others not trump
Giddy-up this buck, titty tuck, no such
I be freaky frizzy in the front and up
You be very sleazy lady-lump hip-strut
Betty-bump this bun, parra-rump-pum-pun
[Verse 6]
Hey, yo
That's how I do my thing
Desperado
Hey, yo
That's how I do my thing
Desperado
Hey, yo
That's how I do my thing
Desperado
Hey, yo
That's how I do my thing
Desperado
Hey, yo
Desperado
Hey, yo
Desperado
[Verse 7]
(We're sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed)
(Please check the number and dial again)
(And dial again)
(And dial again)
(And dial again)
[Verse 8]
Desperado
Desperado
Hey, yo
That's how I do my thing
Desperado
Hey, yo
That's how I do my thing
Desperado
[Verse 9]
Hit 'em with the acid tongue
Venom in the python pump
But he hunt this hun
Here the huntress come
Get amongst this one
If the freaky function fun
I could be the perfect one
Splurgin' on the purchase, yum
Mergin' on a purpose won
When the verse is spun, I'ma Hertz this
Can't, can't rehearse this, no
[Verse 10]
Hey, yo
[Verse 11]
(This is 147th Street)
(Next is 157th)
Desperado
