Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The music's for the sad man
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 young
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 happened to stop by in the hood
And they hop their pretty ass up on the hood of that pretty ass car
Without a wrinkle in today
'Cause there is no tomorrow
Just some picture perfect day
To last a whole lifetime
And it never ends
'Cause all we have to do is hit rewind
So lets just stay in the moment, smoke some weed
Drink some wine,
Reminisce talk some shit forever young is in your mind
Leave a mark that can't erase neither space nor time
So when the director yells cut
I'll be fine
I'm forever young
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
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 slung, hung here
Shorty, the nigga 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 kid, younger every year, yeah
So if you love me baby this is how you let me know
Don't ever let me go, that's how you let me know, baby
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
Slamming Bentley doors
Hopping out of Porsche's
Popping up on Forbes lists
Gorgeous
Hold up
Niggas thought I lost it
They be talking bullshit
I be talking more shit
They nauseous
Hold up
I'll be here forever
You know, I'm on my fall shit
And I ain't waiting for closure, I will never forfeit
Less than four bars
Guru bring the chorus in
Did you get the picture yet
I'm painting you a portrait of young
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever young
Forever and ever
The song "Young Forever" by Jay-Z featuring Mr Hudson is a reflection on the desire to stay young and vibrant forever. The lyrics speak to the idea of wanting to stay young and free, not wanting to become old and burdened by the world. The opening lines of the song suggest that life is a temporary journey and that we should enjoy it while we can. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Forever young" which is both a declaration and a plea to hold onto youth as long as we can.
The song speaks to the universal human desire to avoid aging and remain vibrant, youthful, and free. The verse about some being like water, others being like heat, and still, others being a melody or beat, reminds us that we all have unique qualities that make us special. But ultimately, all of us will grow old and face the inevitability of our own mortality.
The song's chorus is not just an appeal to stay young forever in a literal sense, but a metaphor for holding onto the spirit of youthfulness, love, and adventurousness. It is an uplifting, optimistic song about embracing life and cherishing every moment.
Line by Line Meaning
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Let's enjoy dancing with grace and elegance, let's continue dancing for some time
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
We have enough time to focus on our goals and aspirations before we leave this world
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
We are optimistic but are ready to face any challenges that come our way
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Will you take drastic measures to change everything or keep things the way they are?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We would rather live passionately and fully until the end or have a legacy that ensures our presence lingers for ages
We don't have the power but we never say never
Although we have limited control over what happens in life, we maintain a never-give-up attitude
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
We ponder life's brevity as we sit in a sandbox
The music's for the sad men
The melancholic music is for those who feel down
Forever young, I want to be forever young
I want to retain my youthful spirit forever
Do you really want to live forever?
Are you certain that you want immortality?
Forever, or never
You can either choose to live long or not at all
Some are like water, some are like the heat
People come in various forms, some are placid, while others are passionate
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Some individuals play a beautiful tune, while others set the pace and rhythm
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Sooner or later, everyone's inevitable fate is death
Why don't they stay young
Why can't we stay young forever?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
Growing old without purpose or meaning can be challenging
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
I don't want to die quietly and unremarkably
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
Youthfulness shines brilliantly like diamonds in the sun's light
And diamonds are forever young
Just as diamonds are known to be timeless, youthfulness remains young forever
Forever, or never young
Choose to remain eternally youthful or not at all

@eddieroyal8701
You don't realize how fast life really passes by and how quickly it can end,
How it's the same day after day and you don't see any of yo friends.
Life goes on and da bills pile up,
After the divorce you wish you had a pre-nup.
The kids, dey don't wanna see you,
The new dad? He's the man no matter what you do.
Every night its What's fo dinner? and a fight wit the significant other,
Everything ya do is always nitpicked by her mother.
I could go on and on but you get the picture,
You get poorer while everyone else gets richer.
