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.

More quotes by Jay-Z
Hip-hop has done so much for racial relations, and I don't think it's given the proper credit. It has changed America immensely. I'm going to make a very bold statement: Hip-hop has done more than any leader, politician, or anyone to improve race relations.
Jay-Z
For me, the challenge is just making great albums, because talent - and writing in general - is not tangible. There's no expiration date on it. At the same time, you might wake up tomorrow and be unable to write music.
Jay-Z
People really feel like music is free, but will pay $6 for water. You can drink water free out of the tap and it's good water. But they're okay paying for it. It's just the mindset right now.
Jay-Z
Leave a mark they can't erase, neither space nor time.
Jay-Z
The burden of poverty isn't just that you don't always have the things you need, it's the feeling of being embarrassed every day of your life, and you'd do anything to lift that burden.
Jay-Z
Successful people have a bigger fear of failure than people who've never done anything because if you haven't been successful, then you don't know how it feels to lose it all.
Jay-Z
I look in the mirror, my only opponent
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
[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
Hip-hop gave a generation a common ground that didn't require either race to lose anything everyone gained.
Jay-Z
When people say stuff like, Oh, that's soft rock. I don't listen to that, I find that elitist. It's music-racist.
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
Put me anywhere on God's green earth, I'll triple my worth. Motherf--. I, will, not, lose.
Jay-Z
If I don't show the world growth, how are we going to grow?
Jay-Z
I got mouths to feed til they put flowers on me.
Jay-Z
It was a very intense and stressful situation. There was playing in the Johnny-pump (an opened fire hydrant) and the ice-cream man coming around and all of these games that we'd play, and suddenly it would turn just violent and there would be shootings at 12 in the afternoon on any given day.
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
Men lie, women lie, numbers dont
Jay-Z
What people do in their own homes is their business, and you can choose to love whoever you love. That's their business. It's no different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination, plain and simple.

I'm far from being god, but I work god damn hard.
