forever young

Jay-Z ft Mr Hudson – Young Forever Lyrics

[Mr. Hudson]
Let’s dance in style,
Let’s dance for a while,
Heaven can wait we’re only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst,
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever,
We don’t have the power but we never say never,
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip,
The music’s for the sad man,

[chorus]
Forever young,
I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever and ever
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever

[Jay-Z Ad Lib]
May the best of your todays, be the worst of your tomorrows, but we aint even thinking that far, you naw mean?
[Jay-Z]
So we live a life like a video
When the sun is always out and you never get old
and the champagne’s always cold
and the music is always good
and the pretty girls just happen to stop by in the hood
and they hop their pretty ass up on the hood of dat pretty ass car
without a wrinkle in today
cuz there is no tomorrow
just some picture perfect day
to last a whole lifetime
and it never ends
cos all we have to do is hit rewind
lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.com
so lets just stay in the moment, smoke some weed,
drink some wine,
reminisce talk some sh-t forever young is in your mind

leave a mark that

can’t erase neither space nor time
so when the director yells cut,
I’ll be fine,
I’m forever young…




[chorus]

[Jay-Z]
Fear not when, fear not why,
fear not much while were alive,
life is for living not living up tight,
see ya somewhere up in the sky,
fear not die, i’ll be alive for a million years, bye bye,
so not for legends, I’m forever young
my name shall survive
through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves,
over Pyrex pots, my name shall be passed down to generations while debating up in barber shops,
young slung, hung here,
shorty, the n-gga from here
with a little ambition just what we can become here,
lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.com
and as the father passed his story down to his sons ears,
younger kid, younger every year, yeah
so if you love me baby this is how you let me know.
don’t ever let me go, thats how you let me know, baby,






[chorus]

[Jay-Z]
Slamming Bentley doors,
hopping out of Porsche’s,
popping up on Forbes lists,
Gorgeous,
hold up,
n-ggas thought i lost it,
they be talking bullsh-t
i be talking more sh-t
they nauseous,
hold up,
I”ll be here forever
you know, i’m on my four sh-t,
and I ain’t wit foreclosure, I will never forfeit,
less than four bars,
Guru bring the chorus in,
did you get the picture yet,
I’m painting you a portrait of young…

[Chorus]
[End]

colouring books and pizza

no if l suggested we sit around a table and colour in children's books what reaction would l get ?



what about wearing funny hats and sitting in almost silence
anyone up for that?

Why

Why do people bully others?
Why do they not recognise the beauty and value of another?
how come bullies are nasty?
l know there life's are not nice but the person they are envious of
jealous of,
Bitter towards,
Would if asked,
Be the first person who would
help,
support,
understand,
befriend,.
Show agape towards,
the bully
why?
Can the bully not recognise the wickedness they are involved with?
Bullying not clever, not nice,
not needed.

the boxer

I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises.
All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmmmm

now the years are rolling by me, they are -[rockin evenly]-
i am older than i once was
and younger than i'll be that's not unusual.
no it isnt strange after changes upon changes we are more or less the same
after changes we are more or less the same

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains.

choices we get so many and even little ones call me out to proscrenate
currently we sat at home talking about which film to go see shutter island or the bounty hunter
truth is that l don`t really fancy either but its the occasion




where does the time go one minute you are a teenager
then you have a child
he becomes a strong thoughtful man



but its often the simple things in life that are the most pleasurable
family cinema food all to do with sharing
sense of community

between a rock and a hard place

who knows whats around the corner
what pleasure is awaiting for you and myself
are we gonnna be inspired by a new relationship
challenged by policy or guideline
watch a brilliant film
hear apiece of music that set soul on fire
who knows what God in his wisdom has prepared for you or I
but what do know is that he has already gone before us

thank you Jesus
thank you Lord

relationships

so emotions running wild with our lads and girls
they appear grown up and very mature
but feelings are deep when they have relationships
they have just been spoken to by me around the dating and being Friends within the youth group
dating now l used to do that lot as a youngster
don`t know if you forget how sensitive you where as a teenager.




walks around the castle and the river allowed me to catch up with
life's and issues they are facing
or struggling with
like me at 16 - 17 who and what was on my mind
well Deborah holtby
biking to grouts wood back in 1974
becoming a boxer and Faith Jesus

sweet sensation at No 1 with sad sweet dreamer
1974

So emotions running wild, with our lads and girls
they appear grown up and very mature.
but feelings are deep when they teenagers.

Whitby

This is a real beautiful place.
Place of spirituality
Place where we sit and reflect.
Been a place of uncomfortable agreements arguments and in fighting
between churches
faith been argued over here among the aisles
Bombed during the WW2





We love to come here and sit among the ruins
climb chat watch talk
loads of beautiful memories

east coast journey

this is the Cross of the poet carmden who was a Shepherd and served
in the Abbey at Whitby it a focal point when we climb the 199 steps that are featured in the Dracula story



lot of good team building and work goes on when we drive out for the day.
Shared conversations inform myself and other youthworkers about the life's of our young people,sometimes on these days,a differant level of communication.
Safe various disclosures take place and chance for more open sharing.



the simple pleasure of sharing cake and cuppa after a hard bracing walk along the coast.
l used to call into the flask cafe in back in 1974
when we first started to go to this part of the world Robin Hoods Bay
its some 36 years later and here we are l am grown up
and others stage of their journey is visiting here for the first time
perhaps they will fall in love and build memories to share 36 years later.

thank God for the journey

its start and the learning we gather
l am still a student of Jesus.

Battle is on

I was with friends and family in hull last evening.
Great to be away from work
it is very hectic at present. Lots of difficulties around polices, and strategy.
but l am working thru this, despite the pressure am at top of the workload.

on a mission

l work among Churches who have clear mission statement and vision
without a vision the people will die.
all parts need to understand and agree the mission
l am a visionary

ruff

feeling ruff
looking ruff
sounding ruff
but l`m a soft guy
whose just getting over acute bronchitis

dont quote me looks like spring

spring in the air
there`s magic everywhere

Little kev.

This is one of my favorite pictures of me

 and Matty my son.

Had found this museum called the little theatre museum.

l went ahead dressed as 'little Kev' calling out to Matty.

This pic was taken a while later, Matthew still finding it very funny.

always make me smile!

still unable to shake this cold bronchitis like thingy

Who spoke to me !

Jesus in the gospels talks about time when he noticed in large crowd someone touched him.

Those around asked, - how would you notice this, the crowd is large and many are around us?

But he did.

l often ask my teams to reflect on the following.
Who spoke to me tonight without using words ?

What does it feel Like?

Love street art and the youth got into part of this one.
Knasborough It felt so cold and very northern on Saturday,
It looked depressed, chilly
everywhere was muddy, cold, snowy, damp.
The people looked, behaved and felt depressed,
Area was run down, more closed shops and boarded up dwellings.

Sometimes you discern a place and `mother Shipton's`
area felt spiritually depressive and cold.
What does the place you live, area you live, the home you live in?

What does it feel Like?

ARMOURIES.

Josh and Kerry shooting at the royal armouries last Saturday
had areal good time with all Equipment they could access.
Hard museum to get around, which is spread out all over the place making it difficult to access.

Few rooms away we found BIN LADEN he been hiding here for a while now,
at least we sorted that issue out.
