Jay-Z & Beyonce Perform - Forever Young Lyrics
[Mr. Hudson sings]
Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the sky
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 don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in the sandpit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man
[chorus]
Forever young I wanna be
Forevery young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever and ever
Forever young I wanna be
Forevery young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever, forever
[Jay-z sings]
So we livin life like a video
Where the sun is always out and you never get old
and the champaign is always cold
and the music is 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
cuz there is no tomorrow
just a picture perfect day
that last a whole lifetime
and it never ends
Because 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 can't erase. Neither space nor time
So when the director yells cut
I'll be fine
I'm forever young
I'll be fine
[chorus]
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever and ever
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever, forever
[Jay-z sings]
Fear not where, fear not why, fear not much while we're alive
Life is for living not living uptight
Until you're somewhere up in the sky
Fear not die I'll be alive for a million years bye bye are not for legends I'm 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 debatin' up in barber shops
Young slung, hung here, Showed that a nigga from here, With a little ambition, just what we can become here.
And as the father pass the story down to his son's ear Young get younger every year,yeah
So if you love me baby this is how you let me know, Don't ever let me go, thats how you let me know, baby
[chorus]
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever and ever
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever, forever
[Jay-z sings]
Slammin' Bentley doors, hoppin' outta Porsche
Poppin' 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 I'll be here forever You know I'm on my four shit I ain't with foreclosure I will never forfeit Less than four bars Guru bring the chorus in Did you get the picture yet I'm painting you a portrait of Young
...
[chorus]
Forever young I wanna be
Forevery young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever
Forever young
