Jay-Z

You learn more in failure than you ever do in success
Jay-Z

Hip-hop is more about attaining wealth. People respect success. They respect big. They don't even have to like your music. If you're big enough, people are drawn to you.
Jay-Z
Image
Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.
Jay-Z
Image
Ain't nothin' wrong with the aim, just gotta change the target.
Jay-Z

Their gunnin' for me, want to see me fall, you know my story, been through it all, times I felt like dyin', but I ain't cryin', what didn't kill me, makes me strong as iron.
