Oh oh
Jay Sean
Two, zero, one, two
Nicki Minaj
It's alright, oh it's alright

You know what they say
Life ain't always easy and everyday
We're survivors
So forget the day
Its all about tonight act a fool, and start a riot, be a rebel
Bottles poppin' til we cant stand
We keep it rockin' 'til six A.M.
New York to London over to Japan

Turn it up, turn it up
Mash it up
We gonna party like
Party like, like it's the end of the world
We gonna party like, like it's 2012
You know that it doesn't matter as long as we got each other
Turn it up, turn it up
Mash it up
It ain't the end of the world, oh
Gonna live like it's the end of the world
Gonna party like, oh
Turn it up, turn it up
Mash it up
It ain't the end of the world

Simile's, metaphors and we pop pills
Sick flow inundated with the doc bills
Work hard, now we know how to top bills
In the middle of the street doing cartwheels
Lot of them tryna do it but its not real
Wasn't a rapper then I couldn't got a pop deal
White clothes in a hot pink hot wheels
Lot of bottles and a lot of fruity cocktails
Uh, days of our lives, you wink it goes by
So we'll just get it with no Edison
Anything goes so no time for closed minds
And free my Lil' Weezy, and lets just get right
Young Money, Cash Money in the building
Lets go the world ends tonight

Have a drink with me
And lets make tonight go down
In history, in history yeah
Lets play make believe
Its the last twenty-four hours and this
Whole world is ours eternally, eternally

Hey
Bottles poppin' til we cant stand
We keep it rockin' til six A-M
New York to London over to Japan
Turn it up, turn it up
Mash it up
We gonna party like

Party like, like its the end of the world
We gonna party like, like it's thousand and twelve
You know that it doesn't matter as long as we got each other
Turn it up, turn it up
Mash it up
It ain't the end of the world, oh
We gotta live like its the end of the world
We gotta party like, oh

Turn it up, turn it up

We gonna party like like it's two thousand and twelve
You know that it doesn't matter as long as we got each other

Hey! Jay Sean
Sean Paul, yeah!
Lil' Jon
This one right here is for all the ladies
Ladies who want to take it back
Holler at them Jay

I've been thinking about you
And how we used to be then
Back when it didn't have to live we could start again

There's nothing left to say
Don't waste another day
Just you and me tonight
Everything will be okay
If it's alright with you, then it's alright with me
Baby let's take this time let's make new memories

Do you remember, do you remember, do you remember
All of the times we had
Do you remember, do you remember, do you remember
All of the times we had
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)
Let's bring it back

So long since you've been missing
It's good to see you again
How you, how you doing?
And how about we don't let this happen again

There's nothing left to say
Don't waste another day
Just you and me tonight
Everything will be okay
If it's alright with you then it's alright with me
Baby let's take this time let's make new memories

Do you remember, do you remember, do you remember
All of the times we had
Do you remember, do you remember, do you remember
All of the times we had
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)

Yo ay girl yo bring it back to the time when you and me had just begun
When I was still your number one
Well it might seem far-fetched baby girl but it can't be done
I've got this feeling fire blazing and it's hot just like the sun
Know you feel it too my girl just freeze up and the good vibes run
Gal take a sip of the champagne,
Take a little trip down my lane my girl
Wildin' out every night and we feel alright
Let me tell you this girl welcome to my world
Don't change, me a nah rearrange my girl
I'm a tell you this straight, that's my word
I hear that you wanna come kiss this girl
Cause you miss this, that's what I heard
That's what I heard that's what I heard word girl

There's nothing left to say
Don't waste another day
Just you and me tonight
Everything will be okay
If it's alright with you then it's alright with me
Baby let's take this time let's make new memories

Do you remember, do you remember, do you remember,
All of the times we had
Do you remember, do you remember, do you remember,
All of the times we had
Let's bring it back (Let's bring it back)
Let's bring it back (Bring it back)
Let's bring it back (Let's bring it back)
Let's bring it back (Oh)
Let's bring it back
