More quotes by Jay-Z
There's the gift, there's the spirit, and there's the work-all three have to come together. If one of those things is off, it can stop you from becoming who you were meant to be.
Jay-Z
You know the type: loud as a motorbike but wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.
Jay-Z
Men lie, women lie, numbers dont
Jay-Z
I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man!
Jay-Z
My brands are an extension of me. They're close to me. It's not like running GM, where there's no emotional attachment.
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
[T]he truth is you don't need some external demon to take control of you to turn you into a raging, money-obsessed sociopath, you only need to let loose the demons you already have inside of you.
Jay-Z
You not feeling me, fine. It costs you nothing, pay me no mind.
Jay-Z
We change people through conversation, not through censorship.
Jay-Z
All these ways we classify things as R&B and hip-hop and rock... It's bullshit. It's all music. If you put yourself in that box, then you won't be able to hear that it's all music at its soul.
Jay-Z
Be true to yourself- and keep things simple. People complicate things
Jay-Z
The genius thing that we did was, we didn't give up.
Jay-Z
I got mouths to feed til they put flowers on me.
Jay-Z
How could I be out there and not do anything?
Jay-Z
I like a girl who spend a little cash for her shoes.
Jay-Z
Gotta keep it peace like a buddhist Nobody gonna Wesley snipe me It's less than likely, Move back, Let I breathe Jedi knight, The more space I get the better I write, (Oh) Never I write, but, if, ever I write, I need the space to say whatever I like.
Jay-Z
No matter where you go you are what you are player and you can try to change but that's just the top layer man you was who you was before you got here
Jay-Z
Racism is taught in the home. We agree on that? Well, it's very hard to teach racism to a teenager who's listening to rap music and who idolizes, say, Snoop Dogg. It's hard to say, 'That guy is less than you.' The kid is like, 'I like that guy, he's cool. How is he less than me?
Jay-Z
I don't even like the word politics. It implies something underhanded and I think we need less government.
Jay-Z
I'm hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That's what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that's from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.
Jay-Z
