[Mr. Hudson]
GLet's dance in Dstyle, let's dance for a Emwhile
Heaven can Cwait, we're only watching the Amskies
Hoping for the Embest but expecting the Cworst
Are you gonna drop the bomb Dor not?
GLet us die Dyoung or let us live Emforever
We don't have the Cpower but we never say Amnever
Sitting in a Emsandpit, life is a Cshort trip
The music's for the Dsad man
[Hook]
GForever Dyoung, I wanna Embe forever Cyoung
AmDo you really want to Emlive forever, Cforever, Dand ever?
GForever Dyoung (young)
I wanna Embe (Aye, may the best of your todays)
Forever Cyoung (Be the worst of your tomorrows)
AmDo you really want to Emlive forever (But we ain't even thinkin' that far)
CForever (ya know what I mean?)
DForever Gyoung
[Jay-Z]
GSo we livin' life like a video (Dvideo)
Where the Emsun is always out and you Cnever get old
And the Amchampagne's always cold and the Emmusic is always good
And the Cpretty girls just happen to Dstop by in the hood
And they Ghop they pretty ass up on the hood of that Dpretty ass car
Without a Emwrinkle in today, cuz Cthere's no tomorrow
Just a Ampicture perfect day that last a Emwhole lifetime
And it Cnever ends cause all we have to Ddo is hit rewind
So Glet's just stay in the moment, smoke some Dweed, drink some wine
RemiEmnisce, talk some shit, forever Cyoung is in your mind
Leave a Ammark they can't erase, neither Emspace nor time
So when the diCrector yells cut, I'll be Dfine
I'm forever Gyoung
[Hook]
GForever Dyoung, I wanna Embe forever Cyoung (forever young)
AmDo you really want to Emlive forever, Cforever, Dand ever?
GForever Dyoung, I wanna Embe forever Cyoung (forever young)
AmDo you really want to Emlive forever, Cforever? DForever Gyoung
[Jay-Z]
GFear not when, fear not why, fear not Dmuch while we're alive
Life is for Emliving, not living uptight, 'till you're Csomewhere up in the sky
AmFear not die, I'll be alive for a Emmillion years, bye bye's
Are not for Clegends, I'm forever young, my Dname shall survive
Through the Gdarkest blocks, over kitchen stoves, over DPyrex pots
My name shall be passed Emdown to generations
While deCbatin' up in barbershops
AmYoung slung, hung here, Emshowed that a nigga from here
With a Clittle ambition, just Dwhat we can become here
GAnd as the father pass the Dstory down to his son's ears
EmYounger kid younger every Cyear, yeah
So if you Amlove me baby, this is how you Emlet me know
Don't ever Clet me go, that's how you Dlet me know, baby
[Hook]
GForever Dyoung, I wanna Embe forever Cyoung (forever young)
AmDo you really want to Emlive forever, Cforever, Dand ever?
GForever Dyoung, I wanna Embe forever Cyoung (forever young)
AmDo you really want to Emlive forever, Cforever? DForever Gyoung
[Jay-Z]
GSlammin' Bentley doors, Dhoppin' outta Porsches
EmPoppin' up on Forbes' list, Cgorgeous (hold up)
AmNiggas thought I lost it, Emthey be talking bullshit
CI be talking more shit, Dthey nauseous (hold up)
GI'll be here forever, you Dknow I'm on my fall shit
And EmI ain't with foreclosure, CI will never forfeit
AmLess than four bars, EmGuru bring the chorus in
CDid you get the picture yet? I'm painting you a Dportrait
Of Gyoung
[Hook]
GForever Dyoung, I wanna Embe forever Cyoung (forever young)
AmDo you really want to Emlive forever, Cforever, DForever Gyoung
