Idle Delilah Lyrics

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Slick snapper, Soul Clap on 3
Hi-hatter the dip-dapper pretty pat this "p"
Tip-tapper the chit-chatter, ready rap AB
Can't deal with the bullshit cause the crab ain't me
He took you to cruise ships, put a yacht on me
He said, "The puss deeper than the deep blue sea"
Indeed, the puss deeper than the three fugees
Loopy!, the Lucy, said she loses no winks!
Stay up in ya face beverage with ya ~ baby!
Applauded the favorite, so clap on 3
They loving the mixed flavors, lift ya pink and clink!
They loving the mixed flavors, lift ya pink and clink
Something to sip savor, made ya blink and think

Stay puffin the piff, paper-making-hits ain’t cheap!
Yep, and I flew Jamaican Jake for dick and Ki
They loving the mixed flavors lift ya pink and clink
London to main state, I’m major, Miss AB
They fucking with young savior, make her rich and sweet
Loving ya luck lady, lick ya lip and wink


[Outro]
(It’s that jam g, it’s just flavors-
Rhythm and dance beat, so what up?
Lit that damn green and it’s blazin-
Bitch, i’m stance, steez in the cut
Upton N-Y-C is famous, london fam
Please throw it up little bam-bi with the latest
Give her that stamp, g - put it up!)

From Azealia’s Twitter:

Idle Delilah is the the daughter of a famed white slave owner in the 1900’s who was killed by her own father’s slaves. I wrote a fable edition Broke With Expensive taste,like some real mother goose shit. Idle Delilah’s father is a famed slave owner in the early 1900’s (America). Delilah is his favorite child. Delilah’s mother Lillith knew of the hatred her father had created for himself in the town by a pro-slavery activist. One day, the white man’s slaves grow tired of his bad treatment and decide to kill his favorite daughter Delilah as payback. They covered her small body in black tar and a white cloth with two red bows.
She was found dead in the forest by the town drunkards.
So the dead Idle Delilah, the one I’m singing of in the song, is defined as a spirit of time. She represents procrastination. She lives behind doors and hides in garbage cans. Her favorite day is Wednesday and her number is 3. She likes red hair barrettes and clear sodas. Playing Jacks, is the most direct and clear form of divination for Idle Delilah. Idle Delilah works best in the playground. To conjure her, visit a playground at 3am w/ a red candle & two red bows in hand. Leave 3¢. She was six years old when she was murdered.
