Niggas in Paris
Jay-Z & Kanye West Lyrics

We're going to skate to one song and one song only
We are going to listen to only one song and it's gonna be great

Ball so hard muh'fuckas wanna fine me
I'm so rich and successful that people are trying to take my money

But first niggas gotta find me
It's hard to catch me because I'm always on the move

Can you please remind me?
I'm so rich that I don't even remember how much money I have

Ball so hard, this shit crazy
My life is insane because I'm so successful

Y'all don't know that don't shit phase me
I'm so confident and strong that nothing can bring me down

The Nets could go oh for eighty-two and I look at you like this shit gravy
Even if my basketball team loses every game, I'm still rich and successful

Ball so hard, this shit weird
My life is so unusual and unique because of my success

We ain't even 'pose to be here
We are so successful that it's surprising to others who didn't think we would make it

Ball so hard, since we here
Now that we're successful, we need to use our power to do good things

It's only right that we be fair
We need to share our success with others and be just

Psycho, I'm liable to be go Michael
I'm so talented that I could be like Michael Jackson, Tyson, or Jordan

Take your pick, Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6
I'm so talented that I could be like Michael Jackson, Tyson, or Jordan during Game 6

Ball so hard, got a broke clock, Rollies that don't tick tock
I'm so rich that even my broken clocks and non-working watches are expensive

Audemars that's losing time, hidden behind all these big rocks
Even my fancy watch is falling apart but it's covered in expensive jewels

Ball so hard, I'm shocked too, I'm supposed to be locked up too
I'm so successful that people are surprised I'm not in jail with other rich people

You escaped what I've escaped
You have avoided the hardships I've had to overcome

You'd be in Paris getting fucked up too
If you were in my situation, you would also party hard

Ball so hard, let's get faded, Le Meurice for like six days
I'm so rich that I can afford to party in fancy hotels for days at a time

Gold bottles, scold models, spillin' Ace on my sick J's
I'm so successful that I party with expensive champagne and beautiful women while wearing fancy shoes

(Ball so hard) bitch behave, just might let you meet 'Ye
If you're nice to me, I might introduce you to my famous friend 'Ye

Chi town's D. Rose, I'm movin' the Nets to BK
I'm a successful businessman who is moving a basketball team from Chicago to Brooklyn

That shit cray
That is crazy

She said 'Ye can we get married at the mall?
A woman asked Kanye if they could get married at a shopping mall

I said look you need to crawl 'fore you ball
I told her that she needs to work hard before she becomes successful

Come and meet me in the bathroom stall
Let's meet up in a private place

And show me why you deserve to have it all
Prove to me that you're worth being successful

(Ball so hard) that shit cray, (that shit cray) ain't it Jay?
Isn't it crazy how successful we are, Jay?

(Ball so hard) what she order? (What she order?) Fish fillet
What did she order? A cheap sandwich

(Ball so hard) your whip so cold (whip so cold) this old thing
Your car is impressive, but mine is even better and it's old

(Ball so hard) act like you'll ever be around motherfuckas like this again
Act like you're used to being around successful people like us

Bougie girl, grab her hand
A high-class girl, take her hand

Fuck that bitch she don't wanna dance
Ignore that girl, she doesn't want to dance

Excuse my French but I'm in France (I'm just sayin')
Sorry for cursing, but I'm in France

Prince William's ain't do it right if you ask me
In my opinion, Prince William didn't get married in the best way

'Cause I was him, I would have married Kate and Ashley
If I were in his position, I would have married both Kate and Ashley Olsen

What's Gucci my nigga?
What's up, my friend?

What's Louie my killa?
What's up, my killer? (referring to Louis Vuitton)

What's drugs my deala?
What's up, my drug dealer?

What's that jacket, Margiela?
What brand is that jacket? (referring to Maison Margiela)

Doctors say I'm the illest
People say that I'm the best

'Cause I'm suffering from realness
Because I'm so authentic and genuine

And they going gorillas, huh!?
My friends are partying hard (referring to the phrase 'going ape')

(I don't even know what that means)
I don't understand what's going on

(No one knows what it means, but it's provocative)
The phrase is confusing and strange, but it's interesting

(No it's not)
Actually, it's not that interesting

(It gets the people going!)
Despite being strange, the phrase is exciting and energizing

You are now watching the throne
You are witnessing the most successful and powerful people

Don't let me get in my zone
Don't interrupt my success and focus

These other niggas is lyin'
Other people are lying about their success and power

Actin' like the summer ain't mine
Pretending that other people can be as successful as me

I got that hot bitch in my home
I have a beautiful, attractive partner

You know how many hot bitches I own?
I have many attractive partners

The stars is in the building
Many successful people are here

They hands is to the ceiling
They are cheering for us

I know I'm 'bout to kill it
I am going to be very successful

How you know? I got that feeling
I have a strong intuition that I will be successful

I'm definitely in my zone
I am completely focused and motivated

(Zone, zone, zone, zone, zone, zone, zone, zone)
I am in my success zone (repeated multiple times)
