Jay-Z – Young Forever

Jay-Z does it yet again with this underloved tune from the new Blueprint 3 album!  The song is called Young Forever and is a remix of a popular 80′s tune by Alphaville called Forever Young.  Jay obviously had to switch that around in what I suspect is a reference to his nickname “Young Hov”.  The song features backup lyrics by Mr. Hudson, who is a singer/songwriter from Birmingham UK.  Anyway, hopefully I haven’t bored you with all the details, but here is the hot video for Young Forever by Jay-Z:

Jay-Z Young Forever Lyrics

Let’s dance in style,
Let’s dance for a while,
Heaven can wait we’re 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 don’t have the power but we never say never,
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip,
The music’s for the sad man,

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

So we live a life like a video
When the sun is always out and you never get old
and the champagne’s always cold
and the music’s always good
and the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood
and they hop their pretty ass up on the hood of dat pretty ass car
without a wrinkle in today
cuz there is no tomorrow
just some picture perfect day
to last a whole lifetime
and it never ends
cos 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 that can never erase me neither space nor time
so when the director yells cut,
I’ll be fine,
I’m forever young…

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

Fear not when, fear not why,
fear not much while were alive,
life is for living not living up tight,
see ya somewhere up in the sky,
fear not die, i’ll be alive for a million years, bye bye,
so 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 debating up in barber shops,
young slum, hung here,
show that the nigga from here
with a little ambition just what we can become here,
and as the father passed his story down to his sons ears,
younger kid, 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,

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

Slamming Bentley doors,
hopping out of Porsches,
popping up on Forbes lists,
Gorgeous,
hold up,
niggas starting law suits,
they be talking bullshit
i be talking more shit
they nauseous,
hold up,
I’ll be here forever
you know, i’m on my fall shot,
and I ain’t waiting for closure, 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…

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
