Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I wanna do is have some fun
In the night, let it all in
I wanna party till the morning sun
In the night, let it all in
You lookin' way more sexy that you are are
Better, oh, baby, give me a sign
(Go wild!)
If you wanna be forever young

(Be young!)
Let me know, not the only one

Criticists would write that I wouldn't make it
Now they write about what I make
Acting like the game, I couldn't take it
Now the whole world for the taker
Everyday my birthday
Everyday I get cake, now mommy, lemme see you in yo birthday suit
And lets, lets, lets play

It's Chico here, he got it
It's Chico here, he got it
No question, dawg, don't doubt it
Now get loose, get radical
Dope with them loose, don't see 'em
Your playas meet? I don't cheat 'em
Well, I'm taking ova these companies,
I got steel bands and twelve dealers

My music is hot, defending the block
Put the hand on the court, defend the (?)
Then play with the pot, handle the rum
Bag them up, then hit it with mine
Also, I'm drillin' it, overseas, I'm killin' it
I jsut came to have some fun, so see you, Lo
Keep singin' it!

All I wanna do is have some fun
In the night, let it all in
I wanna party till the morning sun
In the night, let it all in
You lookin' way more sexy that you are are
Better, oh, baby, give me a sign
(Go wild!)
If you wanna be forever young
(Be young!)
Let me know, not the only one

Lets get trippin' at the private party
Black girl twerk like Miley Cyrus
Lets see how many model chicks
Can fit inside my Ferrari
You a bad girl? Trim it how you knot
The kill don't hurt nobody
I'm rollin' up that loud pack
My groove fatter than a hot tomalle
We sippin' lean, poppin' bottles
I take more shots than the paparazzi
These gaters don't need no problems
I got more goons than John Gotti
Maybe, lately, it's going down like greatly
Stick yo good to my whole team,
Then leave it up like mayweather
In the V.I.P., I pop 100D
That's Juicy J and this pappy
You might have to go and find a party
We owning all of these parties
Like a (?), I want more (?)
Get more blink than a gold chain
These college girls got no shame
Party hard all cold night

All I wanna do is have some fun
In the night, let it all in
I wanna party till the morning sun
In the night, let it all in
You lookin' way more sexy that you are are
Better, oh, baby, give me a sign
(Go wild!)
If you wanna be forever young

(Be young!)
Let me know, not the only one
