Jay Sean feat. Nicki Minaj – 2012 (It Ain’t The End)

“2012” is the first single by British R & B artist Jay Sean‘s upcoming fourth studio album, Freeze Time. The track features fellow Young Money labelmate and American female rapper Nicki Minaj. The single was produced by OFM production team J remy and Bobby Bass.

The music video for “2012 (It Ain’t the End)” was shot in Los Angeles on July 19, 2010, with Nicki Minaj. The video is set to lots of flashing lights and a typical hip-hop club scene environment. But in post-production, Sean says the music video’s director Erik White will be zooming out to show parties in three cities around the world.

The song is a up-tempo record, and sounds very much like “Down”. The song’s beat was made in one day by producer Bobby Bass, and was written by Jay Sean with Jared Cotter and producer J remy on two iPads.

Lyrics for Jay Sean feat. Nicki Minaj – 2012

Ohh ohh
2-0-1-2
Ohh-yeah
It’s alright, Oh It’s alright
You know what they say
Life ain’t always easy and everyday
we’re survivors
So forget the day
It’s all about tonight at the school and start a riot a-riot be rebel

[Hook]
Bottles poppin til we can’t stand
We keep it rockn til 6 am
New York to London over to Japan
Turn it up .. Turn It Up.. Mash it up
We gonna party like

[Chorus]
Party 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’ve got each other
Turn it up.. Turn it up .. Mash it up
It ain’t the end of the world

Ohhhhhhhhhhh
Gonna live like it’s the end of the world
Gonna party like
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
Turn it up… Turn it up… Mash it up
It ain’t the end of the world

[Nicki Minaj]

Similes, Metaphors – so we pop pills
Sick flow, indicated with the dark bills
Work hard, now we know how the top feels
In the middle of the street doing cart-wheels
Lotta them try to do it but it’s not real
Listen to rap, but then I coulda got a pop deal
White girls in the hot pink hot wheels
Lotta bottles and a lotta fruity cocktails (uh)
Days of our lives, You wink it goes by
So we’ll just get it, with no Edison
Anything goes on, no time for closed minds
And free my Lil’ Weezy, and let’s just get right!
Young Money – cash money in the buildin
Let’s go to war – ends tonight

[Jay Sean]
have a drink with me
And lets make tonight go down
In history.. in history yeahh
lets make believe
Its the last 24 hours and this whole world is ours
eternally, eternally
Heyyyyy

[Hook]
Bottles poppin til we can’t stand
We keep it rockn til 6 am
New York to London over to Japan
Turn it up .. Turn It Up.. Mash it up
We gonna party like

[Chorus]
Party like, like its the end of the world
We gonna party like, like it’s 2012
You know that it doesn’t matter as long as we’ve got each other
Turn it up.. Turn it up .. Mash it up
It ain’t the end of the world

Ohhhhhhhhhhh
We gotta live like its the end of the world
Gonna party like
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
Turn it up .. Turn It Up.. Mash it up
It aint the end of the world

Noooooooooooooooooooooo
No I not gonna follow (party like, like it’s the end of the world)
Anything that say anymore (party like, like it’s the end of the world)
It’s never to late to start living (party like, like it’s the end of the world)
So let start it with here right now

[Chorus]
Party like like its the end of the world
We gonna party like like it’s 2012
You Know that it doesn’t matter, as long as we’ve got each other
Turn it up.. Turn it up .. mash it up
It ain’t the end of the world

Ohhhhhhhhhhh
We gonna live like its the end of the world
Gonna party like
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
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..
