Stream Of Consciousness (freestyle) Lyrics - Jay-z

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 kill 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 shit 

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 shit 

'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
