Jay Z Retires The B-Word In Light Of New Baby Girl

What do you do when you’re a rapper who’s witnessed the birth of his first baby girl? You retire the word b-tch! In a beautiful poem dedicated to his Blue Ivy Jay goes on to explain his change of heart.

“Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich

I didn’t think hard about using the word B—-

I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it

now with my daughter in this world

I curse those that give it

I never realized while on the fast track

that I’d give riddance to the word bitch, to leave her innocence in tact

No man will degrade her, or call her out her name

the women won’t despise her and call her the same

I know it’s gonna miss me/ cuz we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees

when we all used to hang out front

singing 99 problems but a lady ain’t one

Excuse me miss, can I be your mister

cuz I can tell the difference from a little girl and a sister

She never grew up, her father left her alone

I promise not to talk like we used to/ until Kingdom Come

I’m so focused on your future

The degradation has passed

I wish you wealth, health, and insight/ forever young you may pass

Blue Ivy Carter, my angel.”

Some of Jigga’s greatest hits are gonna be a little different to say without the word B-tch attached but I commend him for making that change and respecting his daughter. Would have loved for him to make this change sooner for his sonwife but respect is respect.
