Jay-Z’s ‘06 freestyle on Flex’s show (later to be repurposed as Corporate Takeover) may be his most literary offering. At least in the stream-of-consciousness style/mode.
Same sword that knight you,
they gonna good-night you with
Shit, that’s only half if they like you
That ain’t even the half what they might do
Don’t believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
See Biggie, see Pac,
See success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Julius
See Ceasar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
suicide, it’s a suicide
if you succeed prepare to be crucified
