lyrics

(Michael John - Verse 1)

You know that feelin' where you just feel completely unstoppable, and you're on top of the world and nothing can bring you down? It's kind of like that, look.

This song goes out to every kid who's ever had a dream
That seemed to be asleep in class when really thinkin' bigger things.
Our mothers always gave us endless opportunities
But she would freak to think that we'd pursue a life with no degree.
Rockin' shows every evenin' not crunchin' numbers for clients
flyin' high up in the sky over these oceans of diamonds,
undescribable feelin' this wild ride you're the pilot
nose dive in their minds to provide times of excitement.
Kick a mayan's vagina, this ain't the end of the planet
Sittin' back, margaritas in cabana's imagine the fact that we are livin' random
Not knowin' what happens next
Fall asleep in Michigan and wake up on the Vegas strip
Take a sip as we're toastin' to good times
A paradise is not far that you could find
I wouldn't lie
Sooner than later our moment's set to blow fast
Just shout it from the roofs loud and let them know that.

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
than the sun

Don't mind us... We're just gonna live it up

(Michael John -- Verse 2)

Gettin' high on top of balcony's, livin' like rockstars
A childhood of cartoons and blueberry poptarts
But now we hop bars when it gets dark
Take the back roads to stay clear of them cop cars
We live large
Backyard barbeques, drinkin' by the beaches
Summer vacation, three months away from teachers
Or callin' into work sick, I guarantee it's worth it
The purpose of livin' reckless is you deserve it.
80 degrees, two-piece bikini's I'm weak
The way she sucks down a jello shot, Mr. Cosby would freak
Steady livin' a dream, I hope to all you can find it
If that's in a booth drunk, dinin' at Coney Island.
These haters gettin' jealous so they all start to creep in
The only music that they're hearin' from me is sweet chin
Believe this
Our anthem blastin' all through the evenin'
With the moon shinin' down on the kids that are singin'

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
than the sun

(KJD - Verse 3)

Yeah. This normally ain't my style. But fuck it. Lemme talk to 'em. Listen.

A 90's baby with a dream, and a pen & pad/
Thinkin' to be cool, all I gotta do is mention swag/
Am I cool yet? Naw man, still the outcast/
Drake look-a-like that refuse to rap about cash/
I'm a outlast and swag rap, skinny jean, back packing fad whore/
Dressed for a dance war/
And that's for damn sure, but things are looking gloomy/
Then the man in the mirror started talking to me/
He told me "Things can change in the blink of an eye"/
Well I been blinking 20 years, is what I said in reply/
And they haven't changed yet, but my head's in the sky/
Cuz the thought of my success is what's set in my mind/
"Sometimes you gotta take your pride and set it aside"/
"And start to follow all the laws that you neglect to abide by"/
"It gets a little crazy when the lead starts to fly"/
But that's irrelevant right now, the only thing that's on my mind's/

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
than the sun
