Forever (Remix)

"**Forever (Remix)**" is the official remix of Chris Brown's 2008 single, which features hip hop artists Lil Wayne and Lupe Fiasco.

## Background

The song was released from DJ Empire's unofficial compilation mixtape, *The Drought is Over 6: The Reincarnation* (2008). Lil Wayne expressed disproval for these records, reporting over DJ Drama's Shade 45 radio show, "First off I ain't mean to disrespect no deejays, no mixtape deejays, whatever kind of deejay you is, there was no kind of disrespect, especially given the fact that me and Drama, me and Khaled, and me and my homeboy Raj Smooth from New Orleans, we all get it in and do the mixtape thing. So given that fact, I think things were blew out of proportion." He continued, "But this Empire n\*\*\*a, I don't fuck with him. For all DJs, just letting y'all know, that whole shit was meant for that Empire n\*\*\*a. I don't fuck with [him]. This n\*\*\*a puts out a CD on me every month. I couldn't [even] tell you what he looks like."

Empire revealed to a source, "I spoke to Wayne. After [The Drought Is Over] Pt.2, I spoke to him. We were supposed to work out a situation where we can work together. Wayne hosted my first Empire joint, so for him to say he don't even know who I am, that was wrong. He made the comments that I dropped CDs every month. That's wrong. I dropped five CDs in two years. I made sure all of them were quality. My CDs are known for having the new music. These kids are running around putting stuff out like stuff I played or whatever leaks on the internet, I think that's wack and I've been not feeling that. I feel like I did more good than bad. Those have been the hottest CDs in the streets for the past year and a half."

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro: Lil Wayne, *Chris Brown*]

Remix, baby

Chris, I got you

*Okay, this your boy Chris Brown*

*And right now, y'all are listenin' to Tape Masters 8*

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]

Ah-em

Before I get started, Polo, this beat is retarded

So I'ma go short yellow bus flow and take her heart like February 1-4

Y'all know I dos what I did, so gon' and does what you do

And you should come with the flu, 'cause girl, you sick, shorty just sick

And she see Dr. Carter, I got the order

I make her tell her boyfriend not to bother

Haha, 'cause we get busy

We get silly, we get really

Drunk, and we do anything we want

And we go anywhere she like

But it's only for the night

Until forever, I'm so on another level

I'm so on another pedestal, my foot is on the pedal

I never ever swerve, baby, I'm on that syrup, baby

I know you fast, but I can make you -er, baby

Don't hit the curve, baby, yes, I'm for sure, baby

I know you're hot but I can make you hotter, baby

Like fur, baby, now we got PETA hatin'

But we put great to the test, and now we the greatest

And Weezy, he the greatest and this beat the greatest

And Polo, he the greatest

Rest in peace, Pimp C, the greatest

I'm gone

[Verse 2: Chris Brown]

It's you and me, moving at the speed of light into eternity, yeah

Tonight is the night to join me in the middle of ecstasy

Feel the melody and the rhythm of the music

Around you, around you (Oh-oh)

I'ma take you there, I'ma take you there (Oh)

So don't be scared, I'm right here, baby

We can go anywhere, go anywhere (Yeah)

But first, it's your chance, take my hand, come with me

[Chorus: Chris Brown]

It's like I've waited my whole life (Oh) for this one night (One night, oh)

It's gon' be me, you and the dance floor (Dance floor)

'Cause we only got one night (Oh, oh, one night)

Double your pleasure, double your fun (Yeah)

And dance fore-e-ever, fore-e-ever

Fore-e-ever, forever

Fore-e-ever, fore-e-ever, fore-e-ever

Forever on the dance floor

[Bridge: Chris Brown, *Lupe Fiasco*]

It's a long way down, we so high off the ground

Sending for an angel to bring me your heart

Girl, where did you come from? Got me so undone

Gaze in your eyes, got me saying, "What a beautiful lady"

No ifs, ands or maybes

I'm releasing my heart and it's feeling amazing

There's no one else that matters, you love me

And I won't let you fall, girl (*Uh*, fall girl)

Let you fall, girl, oh

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco, *Chris Brown*]

You think, it's like infinity (Infinity, *oh*)

We're already at where we finna be (Finna be, *oh*)

Meaning let's make our hopes our memories (*Yeah*)

Happily ever after endlessly (*I won't let you fall*)

You the president of Me and You Industries (*Let you fall*)

So it's drop Love Inc. on our enemies (*Let you fall*)

Recycle all their negative energies (*Oh*)

Then build Shake Em Haters Off ministries (*Oh*)

Trust, God willing, they could be like us (Us)

Out of our minds, in love, you know thus (Thus)

But, until then, let's keep it on the hush

'Cause they comin' for our heads like brush cut

I interrupt the path I was going down (*Yeah*)

On second thought, let's keep it on the loud (Loud)

If they don't know then, then they can know now (Now)

They don't know the way to do it, then we can show 'em how

[Chorus: Chris Brown]

It's like...

It's like I've waited my whole life (Oh, whole life) for this one night (One night, oh)

It's gon' be me, you and the dance floor (Me, you and the dance floor)

'Cause we only got one night (Oh, oh)

Double your pleasure, double your fun

And dance fore-e-ever, fore-e-ever

Fore-e-ever, forever

Fore-e-ever, fore-e-ever, fore-e-ever

Forever on the dance floor

[Outro: Chris Brown]

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, yeah

Forever, ever, ever, ever

Forever, ever, ever
