[Verse 1]
Yo, ayo, tonight is the night that I'ma get twisted
Myx Moscato and vodka, I'ma mix it
Roll that spaceship, we ‘bout to get lifted
Live in the present, that gift is for the gifted
This what you came, this what you came for
You get what you buy, this what you paid for
So make sure the stars is what you aim for, make mistakes though

[Pre-Chorus]
I never worry, life is a journey
I just wanna enjoy the ride (Ride, ride)
What is the hurry? It's pretty early
It's okay, we'll take our time (Time, time)

[Chorus]
The night is still young, the night is still young
The night is still young and so are we
The night is still young (How dare we sit quietly)
The night is still young (And watch the world pass us by)
The night is still young (How dare we sit quietly)
So are we

[Verse 2]
Ayo, drinks on you, or the drinks is on me?
We ain't goin' nowhere like tanks is on E
We still gettin' money, what bank it's gon' be?
If he's sexy, he plankin' on me
So where them big boys with all of that? (Ayy)
Tell the bartender, say my order back (Ayy)
It's bottle service, he ordered that (Ayy)
Might let him take it home and slaughter that
He got friends for all of my friends
They ain't leavin' 'til we say when
And we gon' hangover the next day
But we will remember this day
So drop the pop and get low
And we could drop the top and just cruise
We fresh to death, down to the shoes
My only motto in life is "Don't lose" (Kyuh)

[Pre-Chorus]
I never worry, life is a journey
I just wanna enjoy the ride (Ride, ride)
What is the hurry? It's pretty early
It's okay, we'll take our time (Time, time)

[Chorus]
The night is still young, the night is still young
The night is still young and so are we
The night is still young (How dare we sit quietly)
The night is still young (And watch the world pass us by)
The night is still young (How dare we sit quietly)
So are we

[Bridge]
We're just gettin' started, yeah, yeah
We're just gettin' started, yeah, yeah
Can't you see the night's still early?
And we gon' get it wild and crazy
We're just gettin' started, yeah, yeah
We're just gettin' started, yeah, yeah
Can't you see the night's still early?
And we gon' get it wild and crazy

[Chorus]
The night is still young, the night is still young
The night is still young and so are we
The night is still young (How dare we sit quietly)
The night is still young (And watch the world pass us by)
The night is still young (How dare we sit quietly)
So are we

[Outro]
How dare we sit quietly
And watch the world pass us by
How dare we sit quietly
And watch the world pass us by

Nicki Minaj

Born December 8, 1982, Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, better known by her stage name Nicki Minaj, is a Trinidadian-American rapper, actress, singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur.

Nicki was discovered by Lil Wayne via her mixtapes Sucka Free and Beam Me Up Scotty, and broke into the mainstream as an artist signed to Wayne’s label Young Money Entertainment. Her first successful songs, “Your Love,” “Moment 4 Life” (with Drake), and the smash-hit “Super Bass,” are featured on her 2010 chart-topping debut album Pink Friday.

She continued her run with her second studio album, Pink Roman Reloaded, which contained “Starships,” a song which would further develop Nicki’s pop/rap style. “Starships” gave Nicki a Billboard milestone, when it charted for 21 weeks in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, a feat no other artist has achieved without the aid of streaming services.
