[English]

All my fellas, they be actin' jealous

They don't understand me

Prolly cause I'm fancy, ooh, ooh

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

You would think I'm royal, baby look so spoiled

Mommy brush this dirt off, like a own this soil

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

Yuh, baby how I come across

Honey if you pay, I talk

Prolly love the way I floss

Make you feel a type of way, fuck 'bout what you say though

Never miss a meal like Ross, 'bout to flip a mil like Ross

They don't know me 'hind closed doors, aye

You could never find me losin', I bet you the boss

But baby I'm bossy, used to be daughter,

They call me mother now

Treatin' me like no other, swag underwater, bread in the butter now

Wallet, wallet in pocket, pocket

Give five to the valet and she park it, park it

No games but I'm ballin', call it crocket, crocket

I'm a target but I never shop at Target, got it?

All my fellas, they be actin' jealous

They don't understand me

Prolly cause I'm fancy, ooh, ooh

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

You would think I'm royal, baby look so spoiled

Mommy brush this dirt off, like a own this soil

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

It get lonely at the top, I'ma stack my guap

I'ma make 'em dance, chain all on my neck

Drank all on my dress, four hunnid a pop

Lonely at the top, I'ma stack my guap

I'ma make 'em dance, chain all on my neck

Drank all on my dress, four hunnid a pop

All my fellas, they be actin' jealous

They don't understand me

Prolly cause I'm fancy, ooh, ooh

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

You would think I'm royal, baby look so spoiled

Mommy brush this dirt off, like a own this soil

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

Prolly cause I'm fancy, uh oh ohh, uh uh, oh oh ohh

Key Grammar Structures

• All my fellas, they be actin' jealous

  ➔ Present simple with the verb “be” + present‑participle (continuous aspect)

  ➔ "they **be actin'**" shows the continuous action of “act” in a colloquial style.

• You would think I'm royal

  ➔ Modal verb "would" + base verb (conditional mood)

  ➔ "would **think**" expresses a hypothetical judgment about the listener.

• You could never find me losin', I bet you the boss

  ➔ Modal verb "could" + negative adverb + base verb; present simple; ellipsis in "I bet you"

  ➔ "could **never find**" means it is impossible for the listener to find me; "I **bet** you the boss" uses the verb “bet” meaning “to be sure”.

• I'ma make 'em dance

  ➔ Informal contraction of “I am going to” + base verb (future intention)

  ➔ "I'ma **make**" = "I am **going to make**"; “'em” is a contraction of “them”.

• Never miss a meal like Ross, 'bout to flip a mil like Ross

  ➔ Negative imperative (“Never miss”) + idiomatic “'bout to” + infinitive (near‑future)

  ➔ "'bout **to flip**" = “about **to flip**”; indicates an action that will happen very soon.

• I'm a target but I never shop at Target, got it?

  ➔ Contrastive conjunction “but”; simple present negative; tag question “got it?”

  ➔ "but **I never shop**" contrasts two ideas; "got **it**?" asks for agreement.

• They don't understand me

  ➔ Simple present negative with auxiliary “do” + main verb “understand”

  ➔ "do**n't**" is the contracted form of “do not”, negating the verb “understand”.

• It get lonely at the top, I'ma stack my guap

  ➔ Present simple with subject‑verb agreement error (“it get”); informal future intention with “I'ma”

  ➔ "it **get** lonely" omits the usual “s” for third‑person singular; "I'ma **stack**" = “I am going to stack”.
