Go 'head

Oh you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?
Nail done, hair done, every thing did
Nails done, hair done, everything d'
Oh you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?
You you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?
Nail done, hair done, everything big
Nails done, hair done, everything big
Oh you fancy huh?
You gettin' ready so I know we gon' be here awhile
In the bathroom flat irons and nail files
Spending hours in salons on your hairstyles
In the mall steady rackin' up the air miles
Hit the gym step on the scales stare at the number
You say you dropping 10 pounds preparing for summer
And you don't do it for the man, men never notice
You just do it for yourself you're the fucking coldest
Intelligent too ooh you're my sweetheart
I've always liked my women book and street smart
Long as they got a little class like half days
And the confidence to overlook my past ways
Time heals all, and heels hurt to walk in
But they go with the clutch that you carry your lip gloss in
And look I really think that nobody does it better
I love the way you put it together, ugh
Oh you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?
Nail done, hair done, every thing did
Nails done, hair done, everything d'
Oh you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?
You you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?
Nail done, hair done, every thing did
Nails done, hair done, everything d'
Oh you fancy huh?
Well aren't you a breath of fresh air
From all these superficial gold digging bitches in here
They get a baller figure they ain't got to pick a career
Guess they plan on sucking somes dicks until some millions appear
Voila! you do it right he just might buy you a car
Unless you play these suckers just like B.o.B play the guitar
Now here you are, with your girls having drinks at the bar
I say I'm buying, you declinin' I think that's kinda bizarre
Independent with the demeanor of an R n' B singer
Naked ring finger (check)
M-3 beamer (check)
Champagne range
Triple white Jag
Closet full of brand new clothes and hand bags
Alexander McQueen, Prada, Gucci, Chanel
D&G, BCBG, Versace, Louie and Bebe
Ya don't need it greedy or easy as these other breezy's
Who fuck for balls or reason or bowls of baked ziti
Oh you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?

Nail done, hair done, every thing did
Nails done, hair done, everything d'
Oh you fancy huh?

As we proceed
Uh, 5 and a half and boys
Ass is off the hook
Cinderella bout to lose the glass off her foot
And when I find it, is when I find you
And we can do the things we never got the time to
Better late than never,
But never late is better
They tell me time is money, well we'll spend it together
I'm down for whatever
You just lead the way
We go to dinner you don't even look at me to pay
Mature women with more than me were the first to tempt me
And Jason had this girl Tammy with a purple Bentley
How she got it I ain't never get to ask
I just knew that she was fine like a ticket on the dash
Yeah, but shout out to the homeowners
The girls that got diplomas
And enough money to loan us, a little something extra
Should we ever need it
If it sounds like you then let me hear you repeat it
Oh you fancy huh?
Oh you fancy huh?

Nail done, hair done, every thing did
Nails done, hair done, everything d'

In "Fancy" by Drake, T.I., and Swizz Beatz, the song's lyrics describe a woman who is incredibly put together and takes care of herself. The chorus repeats the line "Oh you fancy huh?" highlighting the theme of luxuriousness and glamour. The song discusses how the woman spends her time preparing herself, with mentions of getting her hair and nails done, spending hours in the salon, and hitting the gym to lose weight. However, the lyrics also mention that she does all of this for herself, not for any man's attention.
The song also touches on the image of women as gold diggers, with T.I. praising the independence of the woman he is describing. He contrasts her with other women who only seek to find a wealthy husband and subsequently use him for his money. T.I. applauds women who have successful careers and their own money and possessions.
Overall, "Fancy" celebrates a woman who takes care of herself and is successful without relying on anyone else. The lyrics appreciate her class, her intelligence, and her confidence, and emphasize the importance of self-care.
