Fancys

Gabito Ballesteros' song 'Fancys' paints a vivid picture of a lavish and hedonistic lifestyle, deeply intertwined with narcotic culture and luxury. The lyrics are a celebration of excess, wealth, and the pleasures that come with it. From the opening lines, the imagery of strawberries and cherries on a yacht sets the tone for a life of opulence. The mention of 'Narco shit' and 'Versace morras' further emphasizes the blend of high fashion and illicit activities, suggesting a world where power and money reign supreme.

The recurring references to 'San Judas' and 'rueditas azules' (blue pills) hint at a reliance on both faith and substances to navigate this extravagant lifestyle. San Judas, or Saint Jude, is often invoked by those seeking help in desperate situations, adding a layer of complexity to the otherwise carefree and indulgent narrative. The blue pills, likely a reference to a type of drug, underscore the escapism and altered states of consciousness that are part and parcel of this world.

The chorus, with its catchy repetition of 'A los malandros nos gustan las fancies,' highlights the allure of 'fancies'—a term that can be interpreted as fancy things or people. The song's protagonist revels in the attention and admiration of beautiful women, the thrill of being the 'boss,' and the sensory pleasures of luxury and narcotics. The settings of Tulum and the jet blue, along with the mention of 'Cookies' (a strain of cannabis), paint a picture of a life constantly on the move, filled with exotic locales and indulgent experiences. Ultimately, 'Fancys' is a testament to the seductive power of wealth and the lengths to which people will go to maintain their status and satisfaction.
