He can take her all over the world, from the sunny beaches of Malibu to the bustling and beautiful city of Paris – quite an attractive offer.

T.I purposely pronounces Paris as ‘paree’ (the French pronunciation), which also neatly fits into the rhyme scheme. He also says ‘boo’, which is a slang term for a girlfriend.

Nicely done T.I.!

Note also that T.I. appeared on the remix to one of the more famous songs about Paris in recent years (Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “Niggas In Paris” Remix).

Could also be heard as “Caribou”, which is the northernmost point on the East Coast, meaning from “west to east”.
