[Mr. Hudson]
Let's dance in style,
Let's dance for a while,
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst,
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever,
We don't have the power but we never say never,
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip,
The music's for the sad man,
[chorus]
Forever young,
I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever and ever
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever
[Jay-Z]
So we live a life like a video
When the sun is always out and you never get old
and the champagne's always cold
and the music is always good
and the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood
and they hop their pretty a** up on the hood of dat pretty a** car
without a wrinkle in today
cuz there is no tomorrow
just some picture perfect day
to last a whole lifetime
and it never ends
cos all we have to do is hit rewind
so lets just stay in the moment, smoke some weed,
drink some wine,
reminisce talk some sh-t forever young is in your mind
leave a mark they can't erase me neither s***e nor time
so when the director yells cut,
I'll be fine,
I'm forever young...
[chorus]
[Jay-Z]
Fear not when, fear not why,
fear not much while were alive,
life is for living not living up tight,
see ya somewhere up in the sky,
fear not die, i'll be alive for a million years, bye bye,
so not for legends, I'm forever young
my name shall survive
through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves,
over Pyrex pots, my name shall be passed down to generations while debating up in barber shops,
young slum, hung here,
show that the n-gga from here
with a little ambition just what we can become here,
and as the father passed his story down to his sons ears,
younger get younger every year, yeah
so if you love me baby this is how you let me know.
don't ever let me go, thats how you let me know, baby,
[chorus]
[Jay-Z]
Slamming Bentley doors,
hopping out of Porsche's,
popping up on Forbes lists,
Gorgeous,
hold up,
n-ggas starting law suits,
they be talking bullsh-t
i be talking more sh-t
they nauseous,
hold up,
I"ll be here forever
you know, i'm on my 'for' sh-t,
and I ain't waiting for closure, I will never forfeit,
less than four bars,
Google bring the chorus in,
did you get the picture yet,
I'm painting you a portrait of young...
[Chorus]
[End]
