Fancy
Mary J. Blige & Swizz Beatz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Go, go, go 'head (Go, go, go)
Go, go, go, go, go, go 'head
Go, go, go, go, go, go 'head
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
You, you fancy huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Nails done, hair done, everything did, uh
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Oh, you fancy, huh?
You getting 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 racking up the air miles
Hit the gym, step on the scales, stare at the number
You say you droppin' 10 pounds preparin' for summer
And you don't do it for the man, men never notice
You just do it for yourself, you 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, uh
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
You, you fancy huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh??
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Nails done, hair done, everything did ('Sup, girl)
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, think that they ain't got to pick a career
Guess they plan on sucking dicks until some millions appear
Like "Voilà!" You do it right he might just buy you a car
Now she 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 decline, that is kinda bizarre
Independent with the demeanor of an R&B singer (check)
Naked ring finger, M3 Beamer (check, check)
Champagne Range, triple-white Jag
Closet full of brand new clothes and handbags
Alexander McQueen, Prada, Gucci, Chanel
D&G, BCBG, Versace, Louis and Bebe
You ain't needy, greedy or easy as these other breezy's
Who fuck for bottles of Riesling and bowls of baked ziti
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Nails done, hair done, everything did (oh!)
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
You, you fancy huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Atlanta girls, let me see your hands (yeah)
Wave 'em at them bitches hating on you with their friends (come on)
Girl you got it, let 'em know that everything big
Nails done hair done, everything big
And my NY girls, let me see your hands (woo)
Wave 'em at them bitches hating on you with their friends (come on)
Girl you got it, let 'em know that everything big
Nails done hair done, everything big
And my LA girls, let me see your hands
Wave 'em at them bitches hating on you with their friends (come on)
Girl you got it, let 'em know everything big
Nails done hair done, everything big
And my TO girls, let me see your hands
Wave 'em at them bitches hating on you with their friends (yeah)
Girl you got it, let 'em know that everything big
Nails done, hair done, nails done, hair done
Say go Cinderella, go Cinderella
Orgasm blush, lipstick and concealer
Devil in a tight dress, girl you a killer
And ain't nobody realer, and ain't nobody realer, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go (showtime)
Go, go, go, go, go (as we proceed)
Uh, 5 and a half in 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?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
You, you fancy huh?
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Nails done, hair done, everything did
Oh, you fancy, huh? (fancy)
The song "Fancy" by Mary J. Blige and Swizz Beatz celebrates and praises a woman who takes great care in her appearance and possesses confidence and independence. The repetition of the phrase "Oh, you fancy, huh?" throughout the song is a form of admiration and recognition for the woman's style and self-assuredness.
The lyrics describe the woman's dedication to her appearance, as she spends time getting ready and attends to every detail, such as nails and hair. These actions are seen as a reflection of her pride in herself and her desire to present herself in the best possible way. Her efforts go beyond just looking good for others; she does it for herself and takes pride in being the best version of herself.
The song also highlights the woman's intelligence and sophistication. She is described as being both book smart and street smart, suggesting that she has an impressive combination of knowledge and practical skills. Furthermore, she is commended for having class and the ability to overlook any flaws or mistakes in the past. She understands that time heals all wounds and is confident enough to move past them.
In the second verse, the lyrics contrast the woman being praised with others who are deemed superficial and materialistic. The song suggests that the woman being celebrated has a genuine and independent mindset. She is not interested in using her appearance or relationships solely for personal gain. She has her own career and ambitions and doesn't rely on a man or material possessions for validation.
The song also introduces a sense of unity and recognition for women from different cities - Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto. It encourages women to show solidarity and support each other against those who may try to bring them down. The words "everything big" reinforce the idea that these women are strong, confident, and deserving of respect.
Overall, "Fancy" celebrates a woman who takes pride in her appearance, possesses intelligence, independence, and class, and values her own self-worth. It encourages women to support and uplift each other in the face of negativity.

@hakeemsd70m
I know, I feel you. Where in the world did all that time go? I was in my freshman year of high school in fall 2010, now I'm in my mid 20s. So many memories...😊😥 Forever my favorite song, Fancy huh...
@RockDaParty94
@Hakeem Sd70M wish this one was on Spotify only have the one with Ti.
@hakeemsd70m
@Rock Da Party 94 I'm with you, a shame this version wasn't the official one. Mary fits in this song's smooth, soulful vibe better than Ti in my opinion, though I'm a fan of them both.
@GravityBladerDrago

@fourzerozerozero
It's a sample of Ace Spectrum's "I Don't Want to Play Around".
@jonathanakerele8006
Mary J. Blige just killed the life out this remix with her melodic voice added in with T.I.'s verses. =)
