The track BBC by Jay-Z is an ode to success, and more specifically, a celebration of that success. Throughout this song, Jay-Z juxtaposes his past life as a drug dealer with his present life as a billionaire. Let’s jump into the lyrics.
The chorus is a repeated call to action to work, emphasized by the declaration that “My motherfucker is a billionaire motherfucker!” and that others “heard that shit.” The reference to “D boy drug dealer look, billionaire” is a nod to the rapper’s past as a drug dealer and the explicit symbolism of his present success. From “the coca leafs to the farmers,” Jay-Z speaks on his humble beginnings, as someone who profited from drug dealing, but has since built an empire so large that it now rivals those in fashion (e.g. “polo fleece to the bombers” and “Bally shoes, Gucci sneakers”).
In the verse, Jay-Z reminisces on his past and celebrates his present. He lists out various fashion brands and experiences, from Fila sweats to the Eiffel Tower, and how they factor into his luxurious lifestyle. He declares he is not the average dope dealer, but has taken his game to new heights, driving fancier cars and riding through Ibiza smoking loud. He taps into nostalgic references like Rakim and EPMD and speaks on the women intertwined with his life of excess.

❤❤❤Ajoke was never his daughter by blood..
If so where is her mother to debunk this story??
This people claim they were held hostage,raped and mal treated yet they could not escape into the crowd that came for service !!
They could not interrupt his preaching and catch public attention so that everyone will now be forced to start asking questions!!
We are in a century where a woman can blatantly lie against a man and he would be arrested without proof.
Sihle left and returned a few times to scoan offering apologies everytime she returned,what was stopping her from leaving the 1st time or 2nd time and running to the police??
If jesus was in this generation to flog people as he did in the bible I'm sure we would have dragged him from documentary to documentary..

Im eternally impacted by prophet TB Joshua’s humility and love for people. 😍
@jenniferingati8928
Now I'm happy that people are coming out to protect the sanity of the Man of God prophet TB Joshua.
@bwambalegeoffrey2752
Please let all of us TB Joshua’s followers testify about how we have been positively changed through the ministry of TB Joshua. Let’s use the comments section to do this especially on YouTube videos that are speaking against TB Joshua.

But that is not Christ like if other people were abused

@@xolanimhlongo7080these people were paid to tarnish TB Joshua and Christianity
@Pinki0134
You are already doing that. Don't worry. You guys have been trained well. But you're missing one thing. It's not about how good he has been to you or any of your other brotherhood, because the truth is subjective amongst you guys, until you have too much to bear then you'll be running around seeking people to believe you. It's not about his good acts to you or others. It's about acts he committed to other people...Talk about those and disprove them. I know you can't which is why you flood the internet with unrelated testimonies of how good he was to you. This is not a Mr personality contest for him. It's about serious crime allegations that need to be disproved or people can just keep quiet and wait for the matter to be defended by those who can.
@bwambalegeoffrey2752
@@Pinki0134my dear my dear! Do you think what these people are saying is true??? TB Joshua has hundreds of disciples but surprisingly only 8 are speaking against him and 99% of his disciples are saying only good things about him! So should we follow the testimony of the 8 people or the testimony of the majority??????
@Pinki0134
@@bwambalegeoffrey2752 yes. According to scripture ..a resounding YES! When two or more witnesses raise an issue it needs to be followed up, yes!!!! Investigated and proved/ disproved. Not swept under the carpet. In this case there are way more than 2 who were close to the accused. Don't just overpower them by speaking about the goodness of the accused. No!

We celebrate and love the man of God Prophet TB Joshua, we are not fools.
