Jay-Z Bans “Bitch” From Rhymes‎

Jason | January 13, 2012 | 1 Comment More

Despite having a mother, sister and wife Jay-Z was never aware of the fact that the word bitch was offensive to women.

But all of that is about to change since the arrival of his daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

The one week old baby who made history by becoming the youngest person to make it on the Billboard charts thanks to a featuring on her daddy’s new dedication song “Glory” has prompted her papa to take a major decision.

The rapper wrote a heartfelt poem where he explained 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.

Jay-Z has retired twice and came out of retirement both times, so pardon us for second guessing his decision to stop writing profanity-laced lyrics.
