'Til you own your own, you can't be free. , Jay-Z, via "I Got the Keys," DJ Khaled's 'Major Key'.
One day you're up, next day you're down / Long as you stay the same, it'll come back around. , Jay-Z, via "Sweet," 'American Gangster'.
Excellence is being able to perform at a high level for a long period of time. , Jay-Z, via 'Oprah's Masters Class'.
When you succeed, prepare to be crucified, Jay-Z, via "Most Kingz," 'Roc Nation 2011'.
