Die young Quote by Jay-Z
“~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 young 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 is always good And the pretty girls just happened to stop by in the hood And they hop their pretty ass up on the hood of that pretty ass car Without a wrinkle in today 'Cause there is no tomorrow Just some picture perfect day To 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 that can't erase neither space nor time So when the director yells cut, I'll be fine, I'm forever young~”
