By the time I got to record my first album, I was 26, I didn't need pen or paper - my memory had been trained just to listen to a song, think of the words, and lay them to tape.
Jay-Z
I use a lot of double meanings. I hide 'em like Easter eggs.
Jay-Z
Is to have had and lost/Better than not having at all?

Jealousy’s a weak emotion.
Jay-Z
Men lie, women lie, numbers dont

We'll have a baby who stutters repeatedly We'll name him history
Jay-Z
I'm gonna fight, and I'm gonna make something out of nothing. That's pretty much the American dream. So, for me, the realization that I could speak to people like that came first on a small scale. Then it just started happening. I started having this vibration.
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
You can pay for school, but you can't buy class
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
I don't even like the word politics. It implies something underhanded and I think we need less government.
Jay-Z
Everybody can tell you how to do it but they never done it
Jay-Z
It's hilarious a lot of times. You have a conversation with someone, and he's like, 'You speak so well!' I'm like, 'What do you mean? Do you understand that's an insult?
Jay-Z
You could name practically any problem in the hood and there'd be a rap song for you.
Jay-Z
Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.
Jay-Z
I think the consumption of music is at an all-time high. But I think the ways that record companies are trying to monetize it is just all over the place. At the end of the day, music is in the clouds. Before, you could hold it, look at it, turn it around. Now, it's just in the air.
Jay-Z
If I don't show the world growth, how are we going to grow?
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
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
I'm not saying I'm God. But as far as lyrics, I'm God MC.
