[Intro: Mr. Hudson]
~#**************#~
Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while
~#**************#~
Heaven can wait, were only watching the skies
~#**************#~
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
~#**************#~
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
~#**************#~
Let us die young or let us live forever
~#**************#~
We dont have the power but we never say never
~#**************#~
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
~#**************#~
The musics for the sad men
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Mr. Hudson & Jay-Z]
~#**************#~
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
~#**************#~
Do you really want to live forever, forever, and ever? (Uh)
~#**************#~
Forever young (Young), I wanna be forever young (Forever young)
~#**************#~
(Ayy, may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows)
~#**************#~
Do you really want to live forever, forever? Forever young
~#**************#~
(But we aint even thinkin that far, ya know what I mean?)
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
~#**************#~
So we living life like a video (Video)
~#**************#~
Where the sun is always out and you never get old
~#**************#~
And the champagnes always cold and the musics always good
~#**************#~
And the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood
~#**************#~
And they hop they pretty ass up on the hood of that pretty ass car
~#**************#~
Without a wrinkle in today cause theres no tomorrow
~#**************#~
Just a picture-perfect day that 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 they cant erase, neither space nor time
~#**************#~
So when the director yells cut, Ill be fine
~#**************#~
Im forever young
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Mr. Hudson]
~#**************#~
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
~#**************#~
Do you really want to live forever, forever, and ever?
~#**************#~
Forever young, I wanna be forever young (Forever young)
~#**************#~
Do you really want to live forever, forever? Forever young
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Jay-Z]
~#**************#~
Fear not when, fear not why, fear not much while were alive
~#**************#~
Life is for living, not living uptight, til youre somewhere up in the sky
~#**************#~
Fear not die, Ill be alive for a million years, bye byes
~#**************#~
Are not for legends, Im forever young, my name shall survive
~#**************#~
Through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves, over Pyrex pots
~#**************#~
My name shall be passed down to generations
~#**************#~
While debating up in barbershops
~#**************#~
Young slung, hung here, showed that a nigga from here
~#**************#~
With a little ambition, just what we can become here (Yeah)
~#**************#~
And as the father pass the story down to his sons ears
~#**************#~
Youngll get younger every year, yeah
~#**************#~
So if you love me, baby, this is how you let me know
~#**************#~
Dont ever let me go, thats how you let me know, baby
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Mr. Hudson & Jay-Z]
~#**************#~
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
~#**************#~
Do you really want to live forever, forever, and ever?
~#**************#~
Forever young, I wanna be forever young (Forever young)
~#**************#~
Do you really want to live forever, forever? Forever young
~#**************#~
(Just let it run)
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
~#**************#~
Slamming Bentley doors, hopping outta Porsches
~#**************#~
Popping up on Forbes list, gorgeous (Hold up)
~#**************#~
Niggas thought I lost it, they be talking bullshit
~#**************#~
I be talking more shit, they nauseous (Hold up)
~#**************#~
Ill be here forever, you know Im on my fall shit
~#**************#~
And I aint with foreclosure, I will never forfeit
~#**************#~
Less than four bars, Guru bring the chorus in
~#**************#~
Did you get the picture yet?
~#**************#~
Im painting you a portrait of Young
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Mr. Hudson]
~#**************#~
Forever young, I wanna be forever young (Forever young)
~#**************#~
Do you really want to live forever, forever? Forever young
