Ni**as In Paris
Jay-Z/Kanye West/Otis Redding Lyrics

We're going to skate to one song and one song only
We'll only listen to one song while we skate.

Ball so hard muh'fuckas wanna fine me
I'm so successful that people envy me to the point of trying to penalize me.

But first niggas gotta find me
But first, those envious individuals need to find me.

What's fifty grand to a muh'fucka like me
What significance does $50,000 hold for me?

Can you please remind me?
Can you jog my memory?

Ball so hard, this shit crazy
I'm so successful, it's insane.

Y'all don't know, that don't shit phase me
You don't know me well enough to understand that nothing can deter me.

The Nets could go 0-82 and I look at you like this shit gravy
Even if my NBA team, the Nets, were to lose every game, it wouldn't faze me.

Ball so hard, this shit weird
I'm so successful that it's baffling.

We ain't even 'pose to be here,
We weren't expected to succeed.

Ball so hard since we here
Now that we're here and successful, we're going above and beyond.

It's only right that we be fair
It's only proper that we treat others well.

Psycho, I'm liable to be go Michael
I have the potential to be like multiple legendary figures named Michael.

Take your pick, Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6
You can choose between Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan, or even my performance in Game 6.

Ball so hard, got a broke clock, Rolleys that don't tick tok
I'm so successful that I don't care that my clock is broken and my expensive watches don't even work.

Audemars that's losing time, hidden behind all these big rocks
Even my fancy watch that's losing time is eclipsed by all my other flashy jewelry.

Ball so hard, I'm shocked too, I'm supposed to be locked up too
I'm so successful that even I'm shocked, and others thought I'd be in jail.

You escaped what I've escaped
You avoided the same negative circumstances that I experienced.

You'd be in Paris getting fucked up too
If you had gone through what I have, you'd also be enjoying yourself in Paris.

Ball so hard, let's get faded, Le Meurice for like six days
I'm so successful, and we're going to take advantage of it by partying in Paris.

Gold bottles, scold models, spillin' eights on my sick J's
We'll party with champagne, pretty models, and spill liquor on my Jordans.

(Ball so hard) Bitch behave, just might let you meet Ye,
Calm down, and I might allow you to meet my partner Kanye.

Chi town's D. Rose, I'm movin' the Nets to BK
Derrick Rose from Chicago and I, a co-owner of the Brooklyn Nets, are doing big things in basketball.

That shit cra'
This is crazy.

She said Ye can we get married at the mall?
My girlfriend asked if we could get married in a shopping center.

I said look you need to crawl 'fore you ball
I responded that she needs to work harder before she can expect such luxuries.

Come and meet me in the bathroom stall
Meet me in the restroom for some intimate time.

And show me why you deserve to have it all
Prove to me that you're worthy of a lavish lifestyle.

(Ball so hard) That shit cra', (That shit cra') ain't it Jay?
This situation is crazy, isn't it Jay?

(Ball so hard) What she order (What she order) fish fillet
This quote is open to interpretation.

(Ball so hard) Your whip so cold (whip so cold) this old thing
This car is really cool, even though it's an old model.

(Ball so hard) Act like you'll ever be around motherfuckas like this again
Act like you'll ever see successful individuals like us again.

Bougie girl, grab her hand
Classy girl, take my 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')
Pardon my language, but I'm in France.

Prince William's ain't do it right if you ask me,
In my opinion, Prince William didn't handle something correctly.

'Cause if 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 going on, my killer?

What's drugs my deala?
What's happening with the drugs, my dealer?

What's that jacket, Margiela?
What brand is that jacket?

Doctors say I'm the illest
Experts confirm that I'm the best.

'Cause I'm suffering from realness
I'm experiencing and displaying true success.

Got my niggas in Paris
I'm with my friends in Paris.

And they going gorillas, huh!?
They're getting wild and crazy!

(I don't even know what that means)
I don't comprehend what's happening.

(No one knows what it means, but its provocative)
Although it's unclear, it stirs up attention.

(No it's not)
Actually, it's not provocative.

(It gets the people going!)
However, it still gets people excited.

You are now watching the throne
You're witnessing the reign of powerful individuals.

Don't let me get in my zone
Don't let me become too powerful and confident.

These other niggaas is lyin'
Other people are lying.

Actin' like the summer ain't mine
They're pretending like they're not as successful in the summer as I am.

I got that hot bitch in my home
I have an extremely attractive and desirable woman in my residence.

You know how many hot bitches I own
You know how many attractive women are associated with me.

The stars is in the building
Famous and influential individuals are present.

They hands is to the ceiling
They're raising their hands in celebration.

I know I'm bout to kill it
I know I'm about to succeed.

How you know, I got that feeling
I know because I have a sense of intuition.
