More quotes by Jay-Z
If the beat is time, flow is what we do with that time, how we live through it. The beat is everywhere, but every life has to find its own flow.
Jay-Z
I got mouths to feed til they put flowers on me.
Jay-Z
They say a midget standing on a giant's shoulders can see much further than the giant. So I got the whole rap world on my shoulders, they trying to see further than I am.
Jay-Z
No matter where you go, you are what you are playa.
Jay-Z
For me, the challenge is just making great albums, because talent - and writing in general - is not tangible. There's no expiration date on it. At the same time, you might wake up tomorrow and be unable to write music.

Men lie, women lie, numbers dont
Jay-Z
When I come back like Jordan, wearing the 4-5. It ain't to play games with you, it's to aim at you, probably maim you. If I owe you I'm blowin' you to smithereens.
Jay-Z
As kids we didn't complain about being poor we talked about how rich we were going to be and made moves to get the lifestyle we aspired to by any means we could. And as soon as we had a little money, we were eager to show it.
Jay-Z
Everybody look at you strange, say you changed Like you work that hard to stay the same.
Jay-Z
My thing is related to who I am as a person. The clothes are an extension of me. The music is an extension of me. All my businesses are part of the culture, so I have to stay true to whatever I'm feeling at the time, whatever direction I'm heading in. And hopefully, everyone follows.
Jay-Z
[Banning marriage equality is] discrimination, plain and simple. It's really not about votes. It's about people. I think it's the right thing to do as a human being.
Jay-Z
I like a girl who spend a little cash for her shoes.
Jay-Z
Difficult takes a day Impossible takes a week I do this in my sleep
Jay-Z
I believe you can speak things into existence.
Jay-Z
For me, being with Obama or having dinner with Bill Clinton... It's crazy. It's mind-blowing, because where I come from is just another world. We were just ignored by politicians, by America in general.
Jay-Z
If I don't show the world growth, how are we going to grow?
Jay-Z
You not feeling me, fine. It costs you nothing, pay me no mind.
Jay-Z
I got this black chick, she don't know how to act Always talkin' out her neck, makin' her fingers snap She like, Listen Jigga Man, I don't care if you rap You better - R-E-S-P-E-C-T me
