Fantasia has released five studio albums Free Yourself (2004), Fantasia (2006), Back To Me (2008), Side Effects of You (2013), The Definition of... (2016), and a holiday album, Christmas After Midnight (2017).
In addition to her music career, Fantasia has also ventured into other pursuits such as publishing, acting, and Broadway. In her memoir "Life is Not a Fairy Tale", she reveals intimate details about herself, including her functional illiteracy. The book was later adapted into a Lifetime movie of the same name in 2006. Directed by famed actress and choreographer Debbie Allen, it received 19 million viewers, making it Lifetime's second-most viewed program of all time.
During 2007, Fantasia was on Broadway performing as Celie in The Color Purple, the hit musical based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker. Her performance had earned rave reviews and helped boost ticket sales as well as her album sales. After her Broadway stint ended in January 2008, Fantasia was back on the road again touring and is said to be preparing for her next studio album.
2. Fantasia is also the first name from the French symphonic metalband Fairyland. They called themselves 'Fantasia' when they made demos like 'Cruel Death' and 'The King'. But when they came with their debute album, they changed their name in Fairyland.
3. Fantasia is a progressive rock band from Pietarsaari, Finland. Originally named St. Marcus Blues Band (founded in 1967), the bassist Markku Lönngren came up with the new name from Amazing Blondel's album called "Fantasia Lindum" and thus changed the name to "Fantasia" in 1973.
The band defined their sound somewhere between progressive rock and hard rock although the sound mainly resembles to those of the other 1970's prog rock bands, such as Finnish compatriots Wigwam and Tabula Rasa. Fantasia released only one self-titled album in 1975 with only 2000 copies sold (which made it a almost a "rarity" amongst the prog rock collectors), but has been reissued on CD by Rocket-Records in 2010.
Line-up: Hannu Lindblom (guitars & vocals), Harri Piha (bass), Karl-Erik Rönngård (drums) and Roul Helantie (organs & piano).

Ain't Gon' Beg You
Fantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see, I see you just ain't ain't actin' right
It's OK
Every time I need someone to be there
When I had me one of them crazy days (I ain't gon' beg you)
Every time I want someone to treat
Like they always said they were gon' treat like (I ain't gon' beg you)
Because I let you slide before
But I see you ain't gon' learn
Since you like to play with fire then imma let us burn
(boy you) ain't nothin'
(gon' miss) my lovin'
And last time was the last time so I'm through with you
No I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin' don't know what I'm waitin' for
Cause you know you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing up out the hood
No I ain't gon' you no more
And if you not down down with this then baby theres a door
I'm usually not the type to just lay it down and quit
But a lot men would get with it
So I ain't gon' beg you no more
Every time I wanna be wine and dine
Takin' out on a Friday night to spend a little time
(I ain't gon' beg you)
And every time I need some huggin'
And some lovin' but it's late and I don't get nothin'
(I ain't gon' beg you)
Because I let you slide before
But I see you ain't gon' learn
Since you like to play with fire then I'm a let us burn
(boy you) ain't nothin'
(gon' miss) my lovin'
And last time was the last time so I'm through with you
No I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin' don't know what I'm waitin' for
Cause you know you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing up out the hood
No I ain't gon' you no more
And if you not down down with this then baby there's a door
I'm usually not the type to just lay it down and quiet
But a lot men would get with it
So I ain't gon' beg you no more
(ooh) said I'm through with being patient
I ain't here for you just to come and
(take it when you wanna take it)
You took it all for guaranteed
(all that good love and all that freaky stuff)
Is all gon'
(ooh, if that's how you is)
Then let me tell you this
(take your lame-o tired excuses somewhere else's)
Somewhere else's
Cause you thinkin' I don't wanna hear it

Stay away I don't wanna get near it
Cause boy I'm movin' not only that
No I ain't gon' beg you no more
I'm sick and tired of waitin' don't know what I'm waitin' for
Cause you know you don't treat me like you should
When you know I'm the coldest thing up out the hood

Ain't gon' beg you to hold me
Ain't gon' you to pick up and take me out
I ain't gon' beg you to ice me
Ain't gon' you to want me
Ain't gon' to do things a real man about
The song "Ain't Gon' Beg You" by Fantasia is a powerful anthem of a woman who's had enough of being mistreated by her partner. The lyrics express her decision to stop pleading with her partner to treat her the way she deserves and to move on from the toxic relationship. The song's hook, "I'm sick and tired of waiting, don't know what I'm waiting for," captures the frustration and exhaustion of someone who's been waiting for a change that never came.
The first verse depicts the singer's longing for someone to be there for her during her tough days and treat her like they promised. The singer speaks of the willingness to forgive her partner's past transgressions but observes that her patience is wearing thin because despite letting him slide before, he never learns. The second verse is a continuation of the first verse, reinforcing that the singer is unwilling to wait for her partner to change or treat her better, knowing that he doesn't deserve her love after taking her for granted.
The bridge provides a powerful message of self-worth and self-respect, letting the listener know that they don't have to beg someone to love them or indulge in lame excuses, but instead take control of their life and walk away when nothing is left to gain.
