Forever Young
Beyoncé (ft. Jay-Z) Lyrics

Can I get some light in here?
Can we brighten up the atmosphere and let loose?

Cellphones in the air
Everybody raise your phones and join the party!

Let's dance in style
Let's groove with sophistication and class.

Let's dance for a while
Let's enjoy the moment and dance for as long as we want.

Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
We have time to think about the afterlife later, let's focus on enjoying this moment and looking up at the night sky.

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
We are optimistic but realistic at the same time.

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
We're on the edge of our seats waiting for something big to happen.

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't know what's going to happen in the future, so let's either live life to the fullest right now or have eternal life.

We don't have the power, but we never say never
Even though we may not have control over our lives or the future, we never give up hope.

Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
Life is short, so let's enjoy it while we can.

The music's for the sad man (sing)
We're all here to dance and enjoy ourselves, regardless of how we feel.

Forever young I wanna be forever young (yes) Do you really want to live forever? Forever and ever (sing) Forever young I wanna be forever young Do you really want to live forever? Forever, forever young
The chorus repeats the message that we want to have either eternal youth or eternal life.

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 we'll be fine, ah Sing
This verse highlights the desire for a perfect day that lasts forever, free from the wrinkles of aging and the worries of tomorrow. We're encouraged to stay in the moment, create memories, and leave a lasting legacy.

Slamming Bentley doors, hopping out of Porsche's Popping up on Forbes lists, gorgeous, hold up Niggas thought I lost it, they be talking more shit I be talking more shit, I'm 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, baby, bring the chorus in Did you get the picture yet I'm painting you a portrait
Jay-Z's verse asserts his own greatness and success, and that he'll be around for a long time. He also declares his resilience in the face of criticism, never giving up on his career goals.

Forever young I wanna be forever young Do you really want to live forever? And ever and ever Forever young I wanna be forever young Do you really want to live forever? Forever (your time, sing)
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the message that we want to achieve eternal youth or eternal life.

Make some noise for Beyoncé one time Brooklyn I'mma leave you with this Don't be good, Brooklyn, be great Be great Thank you for tonight, thank you for tonight I love you
The song ends with a shoutout to the audience and a message of inspiration to aim for greatness. Beyoncé thanks her fans for the night and love she received.
