  • Oh
    Jay Sean (Jay Sean, Jay Sean)
    2-0-1-2 (Nicki Minaj, Nicki Minaj)
    Oh (yeah, yeah)
    It's alright (let's go, let's go)
    Oh, it's alright (let's go, let's go)

    You know what they say
    Life ain't always easy and every day
    We're survivors
    So forget the day
    It's all about tonight
    Act a fool and start a riot, ri-riot
    Be a rebel

    Bottles poppin' 'til we can't stand
    We keep it rockin' 'til 6 AM
    New York to London over to Japan
    Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up

    We gonna party like
    Party like, like it's the end of the world
    We gonna party like, like it's 2012
    You know that it doesn't matter as long as we got each other
    Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up
    It ain't the end of the world (oh)
    We're gonna live like it's the end of the world
    Gonna party like (oh)
    Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up (yeah)
    It ain't the end of the world

    Yo, similes, metaphors, and we pop pills
    Sick flow, inundated with the doc bills
    Work hard, now we know how the top feels
    In the middle of the street doin' cartwheels
    Lot of them try to do it, but it's not real
    Wasn't a rapper then I could've got a pop deal
    White curls in a hot pink Hot Wheels
    Lot of bottles and a lot of fruity cocktails
    Uh, days of our lives
    You wink, it goes by
    So we'll just get it with no edits
    And anything goes, so no time for closed minds
    And free my Lil' Weezy
    And let's just get right
    Young Money Cash Money in the building
    Let's go, the world ends tonight

    Have a drink with me
    And let's make tonight go down in history
    In history, yeah
    Let's play make believe
    It's the last twenty-four hours and this whole world is ours
    Eternally, eternally

    Hey, bottles poppin' 'til we can't stand (can't stand)
    We keep it rockin' 'til 6 AM (6 AM)
    New York to London over to Japan
    Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up (hey, hey)

    We gonna party like
    Party like, like it's the end of the world (like it's the end of the world)
    We gonna party like, like it's 2012 (like it's 2012)
    You know that it doesn't matter as long as we got each other
    Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up
    Now I know, it ain't the end of the world (oh)
    (We gotta live) we gonna live like it's the end of the world
    We gonna party like (we gotta dance like) (oh)
    So just, turn it up, turn it up, mash it up (ayy, ayy)
    It ain't the end of the world

    No, no, I'm not gonna follow (party like, like it's the end of the world)
    Anything that they say anymore
    (Party like, like it's the end of the world)
    And it's never too late to start livin'
    (Party like, like it's the end of the world)
    So let's start it with here and right now

    Party like, like it's the end of the world
    We gonna party like, like it's 2012 (hey)
    You know that it doesn't matter as long as we got each other
    Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up
    It ain't the end of the world (oh)
    We gonna live like it's the end of the world
    We gonna party like (oh)
    Turn it up, turn it up, mash it up
    It ain't the end of the world

    The world
    Because the world keeps spinnin'
    The world keeps spinnin' around Writer/s: Jared Cotter, Jay Sean, Jeremy Skaller, Jonathon Perkins, Onika Maraj, Robert W Larow
