More quotes by Jay-Z
Now success was like lust, she's good to the touch, She's good for the moment, but she's never enough
Jay-Z
The most amazing feeling I feel Words can't describe what I'm feeling for real Maybe I paint the sky blue My greatest creation was you.
Jay-Z
Growing up, politics never trickled down to the areas we come from. But people from Obama's camp, and Obama himself, reached out to me and asked for my help on the campaign. We've sat and had dinner, and we've spoken on the phone. He's a very sharp guy. Very charming. Very cool.
Jay-Z
Only God can judge me so I'm gone, either love me or leave me alone.
Jay-Z
Artists can have greater access to reality they can see patterns and details and connections that other people, distracted by the blur of life, might miss. Just sharing that truth can be a very powerful thing.
Jay-Z
Everybody look at you strange, say you changed Like you work that hard to stay the same.
Jay-Z
I had success. I had a number one record. I had a number one album. I have to make this kind of record again or else I'm going to lose it all. That's how you end up making the same song over and over.
Jay-Z
You know the type: loud as a motorbike but wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.
Jay-Z
I was forced to be an artist and a CEO from the beginning, so I was forced to be like a businessman because when I was trying to get a record deal, it was so hard to get a record deal on my own that it was either give up or create my own company.
Jay-Z
Be true to yourself- and keep things simple. People complicate things
Jay-Z
Don't tell me what was said about me. Tell me why they were so comfortable to say it to you.
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
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
The average rap life is two or three albums. You're lucky to get to your second album in rap!
Jay-Z
Ain't nothin' wrong with the aim, just gotta change the target.
Jay-Z
Wherever I go, I bring the culture with me, so that they can understand that it's attainable. I didn't do it any other way than through hip-hop.
Jay-Z
Is to have had and lost/Better than not having at all?
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
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 jack, I rob, I sin. Aw man, I'm Jackie Robinson 'Cept when I run base, I dodge the pen
