Jay-Z & Kanye West - Niggas in Paris
[Intro: Blades of Glory sample]
"We're going to skate to one song, one song only"
Ball so hard mothafuckers wanna fine me
[Verse 1: JAY-Z]
So I ball so hard mothafuckers wanna fine me
But first niggas gotta find me
What's fifty grand to a mothafucker like me?
Can you please remind me?
(Ball so hard) This shit crazy
Y'all don't know that don't shit faze me
The Nets could go 0 for 82
And I'd look at you like this shit gravy
(Ball so hard) This shit weird
We ain't even 'posed to be here
(Ball so hard) Since we here
It's only right that we'd be fair
Psycho: I'm liable to go Michael, take your pick
Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6
(Ball so hard) Got a broken clock
Rollies that don't tick-tock
Audemars that's losing time
Hidden behind all these big rocks
(B-ball so hard) I'm shocked too
I'm supposed to be locked up too
If you escaped what I've escaped
You'd be in Paris getting fucked up too
(B-ball so hard) Let's get faded
Le Meurice for like six days
Gold bottles, scold models
Spillin' Ace on my sick J's
(Ball so hard) Bitch, behave
Just might let you meet 'Ye
Chi-Town's D. Rose
I'm moving the Nets to BK
The Niggas In Paris Songfacts says: Jay-Z's rap on the hook, "Ball so hard mother----ers wanna fine me," refers to an actual incident. Hov is part-owner of the NBA's New Jersey Nets and he made a postgame congratulatory visit to the University of Kentucky's men's basketball team locker room after a win in the Regional Finals of the 2011 NCAA tournament. Photos were taken of Jay posing with some of the players, which drew the ire of the NBA as contact between NBA personnel and potential NBA college prospects is prohibited. As a result, the Nets were fined $50,000 because of Hov's actions. He has a long way to go to catch up to Mark Cuban, however. The Dallas Mavericks owner has racked up over $1 million in fines from the league, mostly for criticizing officials.
