Just walked through the door
What's it gonna be,
I can't get to the floor
Boys all over me.
What it?s gonna be
Where my party, pa' party party pa' party people at?
Where my party, pa' party party pa' party people at?
Just walked through the door

I can't get to the floor
Girls all over me.
Where my party, pa? party party pa' party people at?
Where my party, pa? party party pa' party people at?

It's Nelly(Wait a minute)
Comin' straight up out the Lou
And all you New Edition rappers better cool it now
For I make a fool of yall,
Paper stacked as tall as Yao Ming
Look at the bling
Settings in rings
Lookin' like basketballs.

Just walked through the door
What's it gonna be,
I can't get to the floor
Boys all over me.
What it?s gonna be
Where my party, pa' party party pa' party people at?
Where my party, pa' party party pa' party people at?

Well it's Fergie motherf***er
Comin' straight from California
Stuntin' in my loc locs.
Dreamin' bout me M.I.A.,
Boyfriend wonderin' where I'm at,
Cause I'm in the spot spot.
Why he always tryin' to be puttin' me down on lock lock?

Just walked through the door
What's it gonna be,
I can't get to the floor
Boys all over me.
What it?s gonna be
Where my party, pa' party party pa' party people at?
Where my party, pa' party party pa' party people at?
Just walked through the door
What's it gonna be,
I can't get to the floor
Girls all over me.
Where my party, pa? party party pa' party people at?
Where my party, pa? party party pa' party people at?

Patiently waitin' and takin' my time
Watchin' these haters
Don't come with they rhymes
Watchin' these suckers are mimickin', gimmickin'
Then they start fallin' off one at a time.
You can go search but you never could find,
I promise you derrty I'm one of a kind.
Mold is broken, the formulas mine.
I killed the idea and destroyed the design.

I was patiently waitin' and takin' my time
Now that I'm here I'm gettin' my shine.
All of you haters can kiss a behind,
Specifically speakin' I'm talkin' bout mine.
Don't need you to tell me, I know that I'm fine.
I'm killin' it baby so call it a crime.
Yea you watch it I'm stealin' my time
I told you before that big girls don't cry.

Just walked through the door
What's it gonna be,
I can't get to the floor
Boys all over me.
What it?s gonna be
Where my party, pa' party party pa' party people at?
Where my party, pa' party party pa' party people at?
Just walked through the door
What's it gonna be,

Overall Meaning

The song Party People by Nelly and Fergie is a club banger that exudes an upbeat and enthusiastic vibe that is perfect for partying. The lyrics are primarily spoken from the perspective of Nelly and Fergie, both of whom are brimming with confidence as they rap and sing about their abilities and their glamorous lifestyles. The song's title, "Party People," is a call to action, an invitation for all those who enjoy good music and good times to come together and enjoy a wild, energetic experience.


The verses in the song alternate between Nelly and Fergie, with each artist boasting about their success and commanding attention. Nelly is first up, rapping about his hometown, his money, and his unique style. Fergie enters the mix, showcasing her impressive vocals, and singing about her bad girl image, her various adventures, and the haters who try to bring her down. Throughout the song, the chorus repeats, beckoning for the party people to come to the club and let loose.


One of the most interesting things about Party People is that the song samples the bassline from "Cool It Now," a 1984 hit by New Edition – a group that Nelly references in his verse. The propulsive synth riffs that anchor the song are reminiscent of Janet Jackson's "All Nite (Don't Stop)," revealing the song's debt to Jackson's neo-disco dance music. Another interesting fact is that Party People was released as a single in March 2008 and was included in Nelly's fifth studio album, Brass Knuckles. The song reached number 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 27 on the US Pop Songs chart.


Chords (if known):
The chords to Party People are not provided as the song is primarily electronic in nature, with a rhythmic beat and layered production that does not easily conform to guitar or piano chords.
