Blue's Freestyle / We Family
Jay-Z feat. Blue Ivy Carter Lyrics

Everything everything this my only single thing
All my possessions are wrapped up in this one thing

And it's in how I say, then innocent if I say?
The way I say things determines if they are innocent or not

Never seen a ceiling in my whole life
I have never felt limited in any way

Everything with sequins
Everything around me is dazzling

And they say we freakin'
People often criticize us for being different

Everything I say is everything I'm peeping
Everything I observe is reflected in what I say

Boom shakalaka, boom shakalaka
An exclamation of excitement

I got bloodlines in Benin, that explains the voodoo
My ancestral heritage has roots in Benin, which is known for its voodoo practices

Got poison in my pen, thank god for Lulu
My words can be dangerous, but I am grateful for my wife, Lulu, who keeps me grounded

And thank the heavens for BB, her Creole roots run deeply
I am also grateful for my mother-in-law, whose Creole heritage is an important part of our family

I'm crazy, you ever leave me I might have to put on a gris-gris
I am so in love with my wife that I might have to resort to using voodoo to keep her

Spell for us to stay together, facelessness
I want us to stay together, but I am willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means losing my identity

Maison Margiela embracing
I enjoy high-end fashion, especially from the Maison Margiela brand

'Cause we family
We stick together because we are a family

More than ever we gon' have to stick together, feel me?
It is more important now than ever to support each other, don't you agree?

Already ahead of your end, in the foreign bumping Fela, feel me?
I am already ahead of the game, listening to the music of Fela Kuti from Nigeria while traveling abroad

Was out in Havana when that had that banned forever, feel me?
I was in Havana, Cuba when the travel ban was announced, emphasizing the need for international unity

Fuck embargoes, I'm a narco
I don't care about trade embargoes, I'll find a way to get what I want

Colombian ties, shout out to Dapo
I have connections in Colombia, and I want to give a shout out to my friend Dapo

OG Juan also
I also want to acknowledge my friend OG Juan

All the fellas from the favelas 'round me, feel me?
I want to include my friends from the favelas in Brazil in this sense of togetherness

Lagos, all the barrios 'round me, feel me?
I also want to include my friends from the barrios in Lagos, Nigeria

Bismillah, all the gods around me
I respect all religions and cultural beliefs, and am open to their influence

Mexicanos ain't building fucking walls around me
I refuse to be divided by national borders, and instead embrace the idea of a global community

I feel like Ali
I feel like a champion, like Muhammad Ali

Viet Cong never done shit to me, feel me?
I won't be swayed by political rhetoric or fear tactics

More worried about Trump than anyone overseas, feel me?
I am more concerned about the negative effects of my own country's leadership than the actions of other nations

I'm out in the art clubs, out in London sipping tea, feel me?
I enjoy attending art exhibitions and socializing in high-end venues, such as in London

I'm out in Michelangelos in FTs
I like to wear Michelangelo-branded clothing and accessories

'Cause we family, feel me?
As a family, we should look out for each other, don't you think?
