Jay-Z's new album 4:44: Listen to 5-year-old Blue Ivy rap on 'Blue’s Freestyle/We Family' bonus track
'Never seen a ceiling in my whole life'
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
