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.

Difficult takes a day Impossible takes a week I do this in my sleep
Jay-Z
Leave a mark they can't erase, neither space nor time.
Jay-Z
Only God can judge me so I'm gone, either love me or leave me alone.
Jay-Z
The reason I've been groundedand able to make albums, is because I've allowed my friends to come with me and voice an opinion. That's who keeps you grounded, the people who have known you longest.
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
If your dad died before you were born, yeah, it hurts — but it’s not like you had a connection with something that was real. Not to say it’s any better — but to have that connection and then have it ripped away was, like, the worst. My dad was such a good dad that when he left, he left a huge scar. He was my superhero.
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
No one's walking around here perfect. Everyone's gonna make mistakes. That's part of how you learn.
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
That's why this generation is the least racist generation ever. You see it all the time. Go to any club. People are intermingling, hanging out, having fun, enjoying the same music. Hip-hop is not just in the Bronx anymore. It's worldwide. Everywhere you go, people are listening to hip-hop and partying together. Hip-hop has done that.
Jay-Z
I think Lil Wayne is extremely talented. I think he's one of the most talented ones out there.
Jay-Z
You know the type: loud as a motorbike but wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.
Jay-Z
A poet's mission is to make words do more work than they normally do, to make them work on more than one level.
Jay-Z
My tears is tatted, my rag in my pocket / Im just looking for love, I know somebody got it
Jay-Z
I'm a mirror. If you're cool with me, I'm cool with you, and the exchange starts. What you see is what you reflect. If you don't like what you see, then you've done something. If I'm standoffish, that's because you are.
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
[T]he truth is that drug addicts have a disease. It only takes a short time in the streets to realize that out-of-control addiction is a medical problem, not a form of recreational or criminal behavior. And the more society treats drug addiction as a crime, the more money drug dealers will make relieving the suffering of the addicts.
Jay-Z
The genius thing that we did was, we didn't give up.
Jay-Z
Put me anywhere on God's green earth, I'll triple my worth. Motherf--. I, will, not, lose.
Jay-Z
Hip-hop gave a generation a common ground that didn't require either race to lose anything everyone gained.
