(1999)
Don't worry, I won't hurt U
I only want U 2 have some fun
Y'all ready 2 go?
Everybody ready 2 go! Are U ready?
I'm ready {looped}
Yeah, yeah
Now we're moving
(This is the party of the century)
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 my 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!
(This is the party of the century) {x2}
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!
(Ooh baby)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
(This is the party of the century)
Yeah
I'm ready, man, it's on, 4 real (Hear me, babe)
I'm ready {looped} ({ad-libbing})
This is official, U know what I'm sayin'?
Yeah
Purple Rain sustained as Prince entertained
Only love from the God above changed the name
No ego in the game, no need 2 place blame
And other than the freedom, the music stayed the same (Yeah)
He never took a title that he don't claim
Haters be hatin' because his radio fame
(B-b-boo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love 4 one another, it's only one aim
As the skies turned the color of red, I see flames
Said 1999 came
Put up your hands and show no shame
This is the party of the century
And The Artist in the house with the NPG
Hands in the air, so many I can't see
Put up your hands if U know U're free
I say party, party, come on!
If U didn't come 2 party, don't bother knockin' on my door
Cuz 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, yeah
They say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
(We're runnin' out of time) (This is the party of the century)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (This is the party of
the century)
Oh, say it again!
2000 zero, zero party over oops out of time (Represent, uh huh,
represent)
2night, I'm gonna, we're gonna, oh yeah (2night I'm gonna party
like it's 1999)
1999 (This is the party of the century)
1999 (Come on, come on) (Don't U wanna go?)
1999 (Don't U wanna go?)
1999 - We could all die any day
1999 - I ain't gon' die, I'd rather dance my life away
(Go'n tell em, baby)
1999 - Listen 2 what I'm tryin' 2 say
Everybody, everybody say party! (Listen 2 what he's tryin' 2 say)
Raise your hand up and party! {x3}
(Put your hands up in the air, y'all)
(Party!) {repeat in BG}
Mommy... Why does everybody have a bomb? {x2}
{crowd noise}
(This is the party of the century)
(P-p-party, y'all) {x2}
Mommy... Why everybody have a...
