Young Forever
Jay-Z feat Beyoncé Lyrics

Can I get some light in here?
Can we brighten our lives and find some positivity?

Cellphones in the air
Let’s use our technology to celebrate the moment

Let's dance in style
Let’s dance with grace and elegance

Let's dance for a while
Let’s dance and enjoy the moment

Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
We have a long time to wait before we reach heaven, so let us focus on our dreams with heads held high

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
We always expect the best, but are ready to deal with the worst situations life may throw our way.

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Are you going to make a decision that may change everything or leave it be?

Let us die young or let us live forever
Either having a short and exciting life, or living long with an amazing experience

We don't have the power, but we never say never
We may not have significant power, but we retain the unwillingness to accept defeat.

Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
Life seems so short and we're sitting in the sublimity of it all.

The music's for the sad man (sing)
Songs are written for sad people, so sing along.

Forever young, I wanna be forever young (yes)
Eternally young in spirit.

Do you really want to live forever? Forever and ever (sing)
Questioning whether we want to live forever or not.

Forever young, I wanna be forever young
A repetition of the yearning to stay eternally young.

Do you really want to live forever? Forever, forever young
Asking if we really want to live forever because we want to stay forever young.

So we live a life like a video
We follow societal luxuries and expectations, living a life similar to one in a music video.

When the sun is always out and you never get old
Living in a perfect world where the sun always shines and one never ages.

And the champagne's always cold
The celebrations are never-ending and the champagne is always chilled.

And the music is always good
Only good music is played, and it elevates our mood.

And the pretty girls just happened to stop by in the hood
Attractive women naturally gravitate towards us.

And they hop their pretty ass up on the hood of that pretty ass car
They show off their beauty by sitting on the car.

Without a wrinkle in today 'cause there is no tomorrow
Wrinkle-free, due to not having to worry about tomorrow's consequences.

Just some picture perfect day to last a whole lifetime
All our days are perfect and can last a lifetime.

And it never ends 'cause all we have to do is hit rewind
The good moments never end because we can replay our memories.

So let's just stay in the moment. Smoke some weed, drink some wine
Let us enjoy the moment with marijuana and wine.

Reminisce, talk some shit, forever young is in your mind
Recalling the past and telling interesting and funny stories with the forever young mindset.

Leave a mark that can't erase, neither space nor time
Let us leave a long-lasting impact that can't be erased by time or distance.

So when the director yells cut we'll be fine, ah
When everything comes to an end, we will be content.

Slamming Bentley doors, hopping out of Porsche's
Exiting luxurious cars in style.

Popping up on Forbes lists, gorgeous, hold up
Sudden rise to the rich and famous circular and fantastic.

Niggas thought I lost it, they be talking more shit
People thinking I've lost my way, speaking their opinions.

I be talking more shit, I'm nauseous, hold up
Responding with a sarcastic attitude that even makes me feel sick.

I'll be here forever, you know I'm on my fallbackshit
I will remain grounded and never forget my stature.

And I ain't waiting for closure, I will never forfeit
I will continue going forward without needing an end to my journey.

Less than four bars, baby, bring the chorus in
Only a few bars left, so let’s bring back the chorus.

Did you get the picture yet I'm painting you a portrait
Do you see what I am trying to tell you?

Make some noise for Beyoncé one time, Brooklyn
Let’s give a shoutout to Beyoncé in Brooklyn.

I'mma leave you with this, Don't be good, Brooklyn, be great
Leaving with a simple message, “Don’t be good. Be great, Brooklyn.”

Thank you for tonight, thank you for tonight, I love you
Appreciating the people and the great night they had.
