9/11 Freestyle

Lyrics

Jay-Z delivered this freestyle during his “Blueprint Lounge Tour” on September 14, 2001 – just five days after the 9/11 tragedy.…   Bootleggers, bombing, Bin LadenI'm still crackin'I will not lose, I simply refuseI dropped the same date as the Twin TowersI show power Still I show compassion for others, sent money and flowersDevote hours I live in the struggle, I'm addicted to the hustleI'm conflicted because, dudeAmerica, this land of mineIs filled with prisoners, with the same plans as mine So I'm a walking contradiction On one hand I love my position But easily I could have been in that prison And no, I am not a Christian, though I believe in GodBut I don't believe in the devil, my beliefs are odd If we the people was given freewill from GodHow could He give the people freewill, without giving you E-vil? We will hold it together, believe in the RocLong after you leave the spotLong after my breathing stopsMy spirit remains vibrant, I will lead the flockAnd that's the tip of the iceberg You might hear Christ's words in my scriptures But I only write it for my niggas
