When the world looks back
A hundred years from now
They'll hear the echo of our cheers
(Echo of our cheers)
Because we spend our lives making memories
(Memories)
They will know that we were here
(Let's go)
(It's the block, baby)
(Don't stop, get it - get it)
(Wit the dog)
(They will know that we were here)
Hold on we just got started
Tonight we'll tear the stars out of the sky
We'll never be forgotten
Gonna live in the moment
Like we're frozen in time
Gonna go down in history
Tonight tonight tonight
So when the world looks back
A hundred years from now
They'll hear the echo of our cheers
Because we spend our lives making memories
They will know that we were here
They will know that we were here
(Don't stop - get it, get it)
(Don't stop - get it, get it)
(They will know that we were here)
Our voice will live forever
Our hearts leave a legacy behind
For eons, we'll be remembered - yeah, yeah
Gonna live in the moment
Like we're frozen in time
Gonna go down in history
Tonight tonight tonight
So when the world looks back
A hundred years from now (years from now)
They'll hear the echo of our cheers
(Our cheers)
Because we spend our lives making memories
They will know that we were here
(We were here, we were here)
They will know that we were here
(Don't stop - get it, get it)
(Hey - oh)
(Ooh oo ooh)
(Don't stop - get it, get it)
(They will know that we were here)
(Don't stop - get it, get it)
(Rap)
Go extra hard
Be crazy
Oh my God
This ain't what you're used to
Because I don't do what I used to
This time Imma make you dance
One more shot, one more chance
Hands in the air, this s**t is crazy
Don't stop, get it baby
Now back to the beat
Take it to hood, take it to the street
Boston meets New York
Real motherf**kers don't talk
Walk one way and that's straight up
Ya'll n***** walk like this, wait up
Slow your roll baby
Groove for a while
Let me get it in and prove my style
We will never
We will never be forgotten
Forgotten no
We will never
We will never be forgotten (no)
(Wooah)
When the world looks back
A hundred years from now
They'll hear the echo of our cheers
(Don't stop - get it, get it)
Because we spend our lives making memories
They will know that we were here
(We were here, we were here)
Oh!
Hands in the air, hands in the air
(They will know that we were here)
Now get it!
