Deli

Ice Spice's 'Deli' is a braggadocious anthem that celebrates self-confidence, financial independence, and the artist's rise to fame. The lyrics are filled with bold statements of self-assuredness and a focus on making money, which is a common theme in hip-hop music. Ice Spice uses her verses to assert her dominance in the rap game, her attractiveness, and her ability to earn money ('fetty') while still staying true to her roots.

The song's chorus, 'She a baddie, she showin' her panty / She shake it like jelly,' emphasizes the artist's confidence in her sexuality and her body. The juxtaposition of 'hunnit bands in Chanel-y' with 'still shakin' ass in a deli' suggests that despite her financial success, she remains grounded and connected to where she came from. The repeated references to 'shakin' ass' and 'showin' her panty' can be seen as a metaphor for her unapologetic self-expression and the flaunting of her success.

Throughout the song, Ice Spice also touches on themes of competition and resilience in the music industry. Lines like 'If you ain't cookin' then get off da pot' and 'Too much to lose so I cannot react' reflect her determination to stay focused on her goals and not be distracted by negativity or rivals. The track is a testament to her hustle and the importance she places on financial success over romantic relationships, as indicated by 'He want the wap, but I just want the fetty.'
