[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
Yo, ayo, tonight is the night that I'ma get twisted, Myx Moscato and vodka, I'ma mix it
Roll that spaceship, we ‘bout to get lifted, live in the present, that 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
[Pre-Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
I never worry, life is a journey
I just wanna enjoy the ride (Ride, ride)
What is the hurry? It's pretty early
It's okay, we'll take our time (Time, time)
[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
And so are we
The night is still young (How dare we sit quietly)
The night is still young (And watch the world pass us by)
The night is still young (How dare we sit quietly)
So are we
[Verse 2: Nicki Minaj]
Ayo, drinks on you, or the drinks is on me? We ain't goin' nowhere like tanks is on E
We still gettin' money, what bank it's gon' be? If he's sexy, he plankin' on me
So where them big boys with all of that? (Ayy), tell the bartender, say my order back (Ayy)
It's bottle service, he ordered that (Ayy), might let him take it home and slaughter that
He got friends for all of my friends, they ain't leavin' 'til we say when
And we gon' hangover the next day but we will remember this day
So drop the pop and get low and we could drop the top and just cruise
We fresh to death, down to the shoes, my only motto in life is "Don't lose" (Kyuh)
[Pre-Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
I never worry, life is a journey
I just wanna enjoy the ride (Ride, ride)
What is the hurry? It's pretty early
It's okay, we'll take our time (Time, time)
[Bridge: Nicki Minaj]
We're just gettin' started, yeah, yeah
We're just gettin' started, yeah, yeah
Can't you see the night's still early?
And we gon' get it wild and crazy
We're just gettin' started, yeah, yeah
We're just gettin' started, yeah, yeah
Can't you see the night's still early?
And we gon' get it wild and crazy
[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
The night is still young
The night is still young
The night is still young
And so are we
The night is still young (How dare we sit quietly)
The night is still young (And watch the world pass us by)
The night is still young (How dare we sit quietly)
So are we
[Outro: Nicki Minaj]
How dare we sit quietly
And watch the world pass us by
How dare we sit quietly
And watch the world pass us by
