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.
Jay-Z
I'd rather die enormous than live dormant.
Jay-Z

Jay-Z
Electing a black man named Barack Obama President in the same country that elected George W. Bush - twice! - is as far-fetched as a hustler from Marcy performing at that President's inauguration. But it happened.
Jay-Z
I'm not saying I'm God. But as far as lyrics, I'm God MC.
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
Now success was like lust, she's good to the touch, She's good for the moment, but she's never enough
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
So many people that I've seen can't get clean water. It's a crime.
Jay-Z
I will not lose, for even in defeat/There's a valuable lesson learned, so it evens up for me
Jay-Z
Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk. Martin Luther King walked so Obama could run. Obama's running so we all can fly.
Jay-Z
Everything evens up, you just wait, Even a garbage can gets a steak, You ain't even a garbage can, you have faith!
Jay-Z
Without the work, the magic won’t come.
Jay-Z
I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man!
Jay-Z
When you listen to an album, it shouldn't feel like, That's the girl song, That's the club song. I shouldn't know what you're thinking while you're making the song. I don't want to know what the artist is thinking.
Jay-Z
Don't ever go with the flow. Be the flow.
Jay-Z
When I listen to great music, the first thing I wonder is what people were saying when this came out of the speakers in the studio. I want to know what happened when they played it and said, This is the one!
Jay-Z
