Young Forever
Jay Z Featuring Beyonce Lyrics

Let's dance in style,
Let's enjoy ourselves and dance in a sophisticated manner

Let's dance for a while
Let's keep dancing and have fun for some time

Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
We have time, there's no rush to get to heaven, we're just looking at the sky

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
We want good things to happen but we're prepared for the worst

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Are you going to do something drastic or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
Let's either have a short, exciting life or a long, fulfilling one

We don't have the power but we never say never
We may not have control over everything but we never give up

Sitting in a sandpit
Just hanging out and relaxing

Life is a short trip
Life is brief and precious

The music's for the sad man
Music can help someone who's feeling down

Forever young
Wanting to stay youthful forever

I wanna be forever young
Desiring to stay young forever

Do you really want to live forever?
Is eternal life really what you want?

Forever and ever
Endlessly; for all eternity

So we live a life like a video
Living a life like it's being recorded in a music video

When the sun is always out and you never get old
Living in an ideal world where the sun always shines and ageing doesn't happen

And the champagne's always cold
Having endless luxurious and extravagant treats

And the music is always good
Having an abundance of great music

And the pretty girls just happened to stop by in the hood
Attractive women appearing casually in everyday settings

And they hop their pretty ass up on the hood of that pretty ass car
Women climbing on top of beautiful cars

Without a wrinkle in today
In this perfect world, there is no sign of ageing or stress

'Cause there is no tomorrow
In this ideal world, there is no need to think about tomorrow or the future

Just some picture perfect day
A beautiful and perfect day

To last a whole lifetime
This perfect day will be remembered for eternity

And it never ends
This ideal world and perfect day is endless

'Cause all we have to do is hit rewind
With the power of music, we can relive this perfect day over and over again

So lets just stay in the moment, smoke some weed
Let's live in the present and relax with some marijuana

Drink some wine, Reminisce talk some shit forever young is in your mind
Drinking wine and being nostalgic while never losing the desire to stay young

Leave a mark that can't erase neither space nor time
Make a lasting impact that cannot be forgotten

So when the director yells cut I'll be fine
When life ends, I'll be at peace knowing I have lived life to the fullest

Fear not when, fear not why
Don't be afraid of what's to come or why things happen

Fear not much while were alive
Don't worry too much while we're still alive

Life is for living not living up tight
Life is meant to be enjoyed, not lived in fear and restriction

See ya somewhere up in the sky
We may reunite in the afterlife

Fear not die, I'll be alive for a million years, bye bye
Don't fear death, as I will live on through my legacy

So not for legends, I'm forever young
I want to be forever young, not just a legendary figure

My name shall survive
My name and legacy will live on

Through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves
My name and legacy will survive even in the toughest neighborhoods and situations

Over Pyrex pots, my name shall be passed down to generations
Even through cooking drugs, my name and legacy will be remembered for generations to come

While debating up in barber shops, young slung, hung here
My name and legacy will be discussed even in casual conversations at barbershops

Shorty, the nigga from here
I'm that short guy from this place

With a little ambition just what we can become here
With a little bit of drive, look at what we can accomplish here

And as the father passed his story down to his sons ears
Like a father passing down his stories to his children, my name and legacy will be passed down to future generations

Younger kid, younger every year, yeah
Even as time goes on, the younger generation keeps getting more youthful and bold

So if you love me baby this is how you let me know
If you truly love me, show me by supporting my legacy and dreams

Don't ever let me go, that's how you let me know, baby
By never forgetting me and continuously supporting me, you show me true love

Slamming Bentley doors
Closing the door of a luxury car with force

Hopping out of Porsche's
Exiting a high-end sports car with excitement

Popping up on Forbes lists
Being listed among the world's wealthiest and influential people

Gorgeous
Describing something or someone as beautiful and stunning

Hold up
Wait a minute

Niggas thought I lost it
People thought I had lost my touch or skills

They be talking bullshit
They are spreading nonsense and rumors

I be talking more shit
I have even more impressive things to say

They nauseous
They feel sick or disgusted with me

Hold up
Wait a minute

I'll be here forever
I'll be around for a long time, leaving a lasting legacy

You know, I'm on my fall shit
I'm still going strong in the later stages of my career

And I ain't waiting for closure, I will never forfeit
I'm not waiting for the end of my career or life, and I'll never give up

Less than four bars
Only a short amount of time remaining in the song

Guru bring the chorus in
The chorus is about to start

Did you get the picture yet
Do you understand what I'm saying?

I'm painting you a portrait of young
I'm giving you a detailed image of what it means to be forever young
