After a week of Tidal exclusivity, Jay-Z has released his new album 4:44 to iTunes and Apply Music, and with it comes a bonus track, 'Blue's Freestyle/We Family'.

It opens with a 40-second verse from Jay and Beyoncé's daughter, Blue Ivy, who has clearly been watching her parents at work closely.

Her freestyle is a little incomprehensible (she's five-years-old, it's forgivable) but does include the pretty amazing, stunting line: "Never seen a ceiling in my whole life."

Here's Genius users' transcription of the lyrics, at the time of writing:

[Intro: Blue Ivy]

Everything everything this my only single thing

Everything I hear is my answer

And if you think I say, then ?

I never hear that, I be in the posse

Never seen a ceiling in my whole life

Everything I seen, everything is rotten

Never sit in silence ? Carter

Innocent we seek them

I and say we see them

?

Boom shakalaka

Boom shakalaka

Boom shakalaka

Boom shakalaka

Everything in shaka

Everything in faka

Everything in shaka

Everything in faka
