TurnCash2Money graciously supplied a semi-instrumental version of Jay-Z's "Young Forever" that retained Mr Hudson's beautiful chorus and verse. After writing and uploading my "Airplanes" freeverse, I was in the mood to do another, so here's my "Young Forever" freeverse.
As usual, I'm a better lyricist than a rapper, so a re-recording of these lyrics by someone more talented than myself is always welcome :) . Just let me hear it :) .
No lyrics in the video this time, because I didn't feel like making them, so here are the lyrics to everything:
[Mr Hudson's Verse]
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,
[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
[My Freeverse]
This is not a rap today
Just me doin' things my way
'Cause I don't know what hit me
Although it knocked me out cold, but hey
That's just how my life goes on,
Tortured weak when I felt strong,
Still, I wish you knew me
Instead of me knowin' that you're wrong
They all want immortality
But that just seems like hell to me,
'Cause livin' without ever changing
This is a monstrosity
[The me you see] [through your eyes is just]
An illusion that you've conjured up
A lie you tell yourself at night
'Cause you're afraid you might be loved
The End of Times is comin', right?
It's time to feel that fight-or-flight
Decide what you want, here and now
Whether it's darkness or it's light
Can't see the forest through the trees
That's what they say, don't know what it means
My brain's stopped workin' and my vision is blurred,
But my foot keeps tappin' to the sound of the beat
Fountain of Youth, Dorian Gray,
Everyone wants to feel that way
No matter the cost, no matter the price
They'd kill for youthful souls to stay
Finger on the trigger, knife in my hand
Strap me to a bomb and say goodbye to the land
God, how can that not sound dumb?
That's why I'll never be forever young
[Chorus Repeats 1x]
-IMP ;) :)
And this is why white guys shouldn't rap.

The entire point of YouTube is to post videos. Black screens don't count. That's assuming you can see the screen. WTF WHY ARE YOU TALKING. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. CAN YOU DO VOICE INFLECTION TOO???... oh guess not
