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
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
I seen the worst of the worst. I deserve every blessing I receive I'm from the dirt.
Jay-Z
I believe you can speak things into existence.
Jay-Z
Stop screamin', you know the demon said it's best to die, And even if Jehovah witness, bet he'll never testify, D'Evils.
Jay-Z
I've never looked at myself and said that I need to be a certain way to be around a certain sort of people. I've always wanted to stay true to myself, and I've managed to do that. People have to accept that.
Jay-Z
I'm hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter.
Jay-Z
Put me anywhere on God's green earth, I'll triple my worth. Motherf--. I, will, not, lose.

You learn more in failure than you ever do in success
