Niggas In Paris
Chris Brown & T-Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's where I'm gonna stay
Just me and my bottle of French wine
We're gonna drink the night away
Nobody comes, nobody knocks on the door
My friends are far away
And if the telephone don't start ringing
It's going to be a bad, bad day
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Well, I turn on the radio
But I don't like what they play
So, I put a record on the stereo
Just to pass this night away
It's twelve o'clock, I can see them now
They're dancing the night away
Little Jimmy's drеssed as Fred Astaire
So wrеcked the band can't play
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Well, I can smell the French perfume
While I sit here in despair
I think I'll open another bottle
And I'll make believe I'm there
Meanwhile, back in London
Seems a million miles away
I'm looking at my invitation
With no ticket for a train
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
There's a party in Paris Palais
The lyrics of "Niggas In Paris" by Chris Brown and T-Pain describe a scene where the singer is feeling lonely and isolated in a room with a bottle of French wine. The bottle in the corner symbolizes their only source of companionship for the night. They feel distant from their friends, as nobody is coming over or reaching out to them. The mention of the telephone not ringing suggests a sense of isolation and disappointment. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for company and the need for social interaction.
The chorus, "Ooh la la la, ooh la lay, There's a party in Paris Palais," serves as a contrast to the singer's current situation. It represents the desire to be part of a lively and exciting party happening in Paris, specifically at the Palais (French for palace). It symbolizes the singer's yearning to escape their loneliness and join the vibrant atmosphere of a party.
Throughout the song, the lyrics portray a sense of escapism and imagination. The singer tries to pass the time by turning on the radio and playing records, but feels dissatisfied with the music. They resort to opening another bottle of wine to create an illusion of being in Paris, where they imagine a party with vibrant energy. The mention of Little Jimmy dressed as Fred Astaire suggests that the singer's imagination is vivid and lively, even though their reality may be dull and desolate.
Overall, the lyrics of "Niggas In Paris" express feelings of loneliness, longing for companionship, and the desire to be part of an exciting and lively event.

There's a bottle in the corner
I have a bottle of alcohol in the corner of the room
That's where I'm gonna stay
I plan to stay in this spot
Just me and my bottle of French wine
I'm alone with my bottle of wine from France
We're gonna drink the night away
We will consume alcohol throughout the night
Nobody comes, nobody knocks on the door
No one visits or interrupts me
My friends are far away
My friends are distant
And if the telephone don't start ringing
If the phone doesn't ring
It's going to be a bad, bad day
It will be a terrible day
Ooh la la la, ooh la lay
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm
There's a party in Paris Palais
There is a lively gathering happening in Paris Palais
Well, I turn on the radio
I switch on the radio
But I don't like what they play
I don't enjoy the music being played
So, I put a record on the stereo
Therefore, I play a vinyl record on the stereo
Just to pass this night away
In order to make the night go by
It's twelve o'clock, I can see them now
It's midnight, and I can imagine people dancing
They're dancing the night away
They are enjoying a night of dancing
Little Jimmy's dressed as Fred Astaire
A young boy named Jimmy is wearing an outfit resembling Fred Astaire
So wrecked the band can't play
Their excessive state of intoxication prevents the band from performing well
Well, I can smell the French perfume
I perceive the scent of fragrance from France
While I sit here in despair
Meanwhile, I'm feeling hopeless while sitting here
I think I'll open another bottle
I contemplate opening another bottle
And I'll make believe I'm there
I will pretend that I am present at the party
Meanwhile, back in London
On the other hand, in London
Seems a million miles away
It feels extremely distant
I'm looking at my invitation
I am examining my invitation
With no ticket for a train
Without a train ticket
