Yo, ayo tonight is the night that I'ma get twisted
Myx Moscato and vodka, I'ma mix it
Roll that spaceship, we about to get lifted
Lift and the President gift is for the gifted
This what you came, this what you came for
You get what you buy, this what you paid for
So make sure the stars is what you aim for
Make mistakes though

I never worry, life is a journey
I just wanna enjoy the ride
What is the hurry? It's pretty early
It's okay, we'll take our time

The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
And so are we

The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
And so are we

Ayo, drinks on you or the drinks is on me
We ain't going nowhere like tanks is on E
We still getting money, which bank is it gonna be?
If he sexy, he planking on me
So when them big boys want all of that
Tell the bartender, say my order back
It's bottle service, he ordered that
Might let him take it home and slaughter that
He got friends for all of my friends
They ain't leaving 'till we say when
And we gon' hangover the next day
But we will remember this day
So drop the pop and get low
Or we can drop the top and just cruise
We fresh to death, down to the shoes
My only motto in my life is don't lose

I never worry, life is a journey
I just wanna enjoy the ride
What is the hurry? It's pretty early
It's okay, we'll take our time

The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
And so are we

The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
So are we

We're just getting started yeah yeah
We're just getting started yeah yeah
Can't you see the night's still early
And we gon' get wild and crazy

We're just getting started yeah yeah
We're just getting started yeah yeah
Can't you see the night's still early
And we gon' get wild and crazy

The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
And so are we

The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
So are we

How dare we sit quietly
And watch the world pass us by
How dare we sit quietly
And watch the world pass us by
