Thanks you Jay for giving me a token moment to remember this event by. Great fuckin performance! For all the talk about change, and this is the president that speaks to the new generation, we didnt have that “moment” yet until Jay took the stage and gave the inauguration something it’s never seen before. Powerful rapper delivering a powerful message.

Its been a long time since the jigga man wasnt the headliner of the show. Why do people attribute black sucess with the illuminati? Why are people calling Obama the Anti-Christ?
Keep reading @ datruth its much deeper than a secret society and more transparent. And everything to do with 3/5ths of a man, the quadroon laws and reparations. Last but not leasds
Anyway thats the past, and the present and future is being spearheaded by our BRAND NEW FUNKY PRESIDENT….”STOCK MARKETS GOING UP, JOBS GOING DOWN”…..
If only James Brown could have seen this…..

Why won`t you visit me, until she visits me
I`ll be stuck with a sista, her name is defeat
She gives me agony, so much agony
She brings me so much pain
So much misery, like missing your last shot
And fall to your knees .
As the crowd screams, for the other team
I practice so hard for this moment victory don`t lead
I know what this means, i`m stuck in this routine
Whole new different day, but the same old things
All i got is dreams, but nobody else could see
Nobody else believe, nobody else but me
Where are you victory, i need you desperately
Not just for the moment. to make history
(chorus)
Now that all the smoke is gone(lighter)
And the battle finally rise(lighters)
Victory`s finally ours (yea, yea, yea)
History so loved, so long, so long, so long�
(jay-z, verse)
So now i`m flirting with death
Hustla like a cheat, while victory wasn`t watching
Took chances repeatedly
As a teenage boy, before acne
Before i got proactive, i couldn`t face sheet
I just threw on my hoodie and headed to the streets
I swear i met success, we lived together shortly
A success is like lust, witch is good for the touch
Witch is good for the moment, but she`s never enough
Everybody`s had her, she`s nothing like me
A success is all i got, unfortunately
But i`m burning down the block
I`ve been in it down defeat
But something tells me that there`s much more to see
Before i get killed, cos i can`t get robbed
So before me, success and death bandage
I gotta get lost, i gotta find free
We gotta be together to make history
(chorus)
Now that all the smoke is gone (lighters up)
And the battle finally rise(lighter up)
Victory`s finally ours (lighters up)
History so loved, so long, so long, so long
(jay-z, verse)
Now history is mine, it taste so sweet
She`s my trophy wife, she commin with me
We have a baby who stutters` repeatedly
We name him history
He repeats after me
He`s my legacy, son i`m a hard work
Future of my past, he`ll explain who i be
Rank me among the greats
Either 1 2 or 3, if i ain`t number one
Then i failed your victory
Ain`t in it for the fame, that dies in 10 weeks
Ain`t in it for the money, can`t take me when you live
I wanna be remembered long after you breath
Long after i`m gone, long after i breath
I live all i am, in the hands of history
Bless my last will testimony
This is much more then a song
It`s a baby shower, i`ve been waiting for this hour
History your ours.

Swagga why are you worrying about the way anotha dude looks? That’s a female trait. That means if you think he looks bad, what male do you think looks good? Huh? Share with us, please, f*in racist MO. Its seems like he really touched your heart somehow for you to be eying him dowm from head to toe…didn’t Hov tell ya’ll albums ago to get off his d*ck? okay well if you missed his many past albums, he got a track out not too long ago, yea ummm goes by the name “Jockin Jay-Z”….lol, smfh…..and you’re so ignorant by ending your comment about not listening to Hip-Hop anymore, BUT WHERE IN YOUR COMMENT DID YOU EVEN TALK ABOUT HIS LYRICS?! makes no sense, just another f*ckin Hov hater…..you probably the d*ck ryder wearing skinny jeans a scarf and ridin lil “dwayne’s” d*ck…ya name should’ve been “Fag-ga”…and this goes out to all the rest of you haters…lol…..word

Gotta say I’m proud of Jay 4 that one. His lyricism/heart/performance are seriously moving into the territory of real musicianship! (Glastonbury solidified that for me).
My fav moments of inaugural week- Before Prez Obama gets into the limo for the parade he goes to shake a naval officers hand like “Hey man I’m Barack…” and the officer snaps taught and salutes him like “No sir Mr. President…you are… what all of this is about”- I shed’em several times last night because of that moment! (the officer then shook Obamas hand and watched him get into the limo.)
2nd fav moment- This song muthafuckas!!!!
(you know I always gotta end in my bboy stance!!!!!!)

Hold up #15 “BklynzOwn”
Ya name title says it all homie! WTF do you mean why am i worried about what another man looks like?
Oh is the “GAY” word ya only defense cuz? Cause if thats the case you gotta do better than that b*tch ass Internet thug!
Style and Fashion has been aprt of what the HIP HOP culture is all about! It was Never just about music so if i gotta school you on that in itself its obvious im arguing with a late 80’s baby so i can understand ya ignorance!
What artist do ESPECIALLY jay has an effect on the entire Hip Hop generation…what he does is on him nigga but i can most def state my personal opinion! I heard this song already….and what? You yaself are most likely such a Jay D-rider just based off your claiming brooklyn nigga but i was born and grew up in C.I so what r u sayin?
The Hoodie style,Fatigue’s,Tims nigga down too AF1’s,Baggy Jeans,8Ball jackets,Scully’s now down too Gucci Bag’s,Shoes,Jeans,Pink F*ckin clothing on Males,That BK Skinny Straight leg Jean sh*t,all the way too this Revenge of the Nerd Look! ALL made popular by Hip Hop culture spawned off the hood and now a days most influenced by the ARTIST!
So yeah B*tch JAY looks like a F*ckin Clown, His song is dope but i wasnt makin a comment about that…But get angry b*tch yeah i said ya daddy looks like a F*ckin clown and so do all yall following suit!
