1999 Lyrics

    Don't worry, I won't hurt U
    I only want U 2 have some fun
    I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
    But when I woke up this mornin', could've sworn it was Judgment Day
    The sky was all purple, there were people runnin' everywhere
    Tryin' 2 run from the destruction, U know I didn't even care
    Cuz they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
    So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
    I was dreamin' when I wrote this, so sue me if I go 2 fast
    But life is just a party and parties weren't meant 2 last
    War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
    So if I gotta die, I'm gonna listen 2 my body 2night
    Yeah, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
    So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (Yeah, yeah)
    People, let me tell U somethin'
    If U didn't come 2 party, don't bother knockin' on my door
    I got a lion in my pocket and, baby, he's ready 2 roar (Yeah)
    Everybody's got a bomb, we could all die any day (Oh)
    But before I let that happen, I'll dance my life away
    Oh, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
    (We're runnin' out of time)
    So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We gonna, we gonna, oh!)
    Say it one more time
    2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! (No, no)
    So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We're gonna, we gonna)
    Alright, 1999
    U say it, 1999
    1999 (1999)
    Don't stop, don't stop, say it one more time
    2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! (Yeah, yeah)
    So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We gonna, we’re gonna)
    Yeah, 1999 (1999)
    Don't U wanna go? (1999)
    Don't U wanna go? (1999)
    We could all die any day (1999)
    I don't wanna die, I'd rather dance my life away (1999)
    Listen 2 what I'm tryin' 2 say
    Everybody, everybody say party!
    Come on now, U say it (Party!)
    That's right, everybody say
    (Party!) {repeat in BG}
    Can't run from Revelation, no!
    Sing it 4 your nation, y'all!
    Dreamin' when U're singin’, baby!
    Say the telephone a-ringin', mama, now!
    Come on, come on, U say
    Everybody, 2 times
    Work it down 2 the ground, I’m sayin’
    (Oh baby, say it again)
    (Oh, shake your body, baby!)
    That's right, come on, sing the song
    That's right, everybody say
    Got a lion in my pocket mama, say!
    Ah, and he's ready 2 roar!
    Yeah!
    Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb? {x2}
