Jay-z - Stream Of Consciousness (Freestyle) lyrics

I don't need no middlemen to talk to my ni**as I understand if you don't understand I figure my ni**a That's where we differ I take what's mine you accept what they give you I get you I don't take no checks I take my respect Pharrell even told me 'Go with the best bet' Jimmy Iovine offered the safety net Google came around with a crazy check I feel like YouTube is the culp-a-rit Ni**as pay you a tenth of what you supposed to get You know ni**a die for equal pay, right? You know what I'm worth I ain't your slave right You know I ain't shucking and jivin' and high fivin' You know this ain't back in the days right But I can't tell by the way they k** Freddie Gray right Shot down Mike Brown Like the way they did Tray right? Y'all gone' keep choking' ni**as We gon' turn style I ain't your token ni**a You know I came in this game independent right TIDAL My own label same difference Oh ni**as is skeptical of they own sh** You bought nine iPhones and Steve Jobs is rich Phil Knight worth trillions you still bought those kicks Spotify's nine billion and they ain't say sh** 'Lucyyy you got some splainin' to do' The only one they hatin' on look the same as you That's cool I know they tryin' to bamboozle you Spending billions on meryin' to confusin' you I had to tell myself 'Hov, get used to it' It's politics as usual
