JAY-Z - Tidal B-Sides Concert Freestyle lyrics

So I'm the bad guy now I hear
Because I don’t go with the flow
Don’t ever go with the flow, be the flow
And I don’t need no middle man

To talk to my niggas
I understand if you don’t understand
I figure I’m Jigga that’s where we differ
I take what’s mine, you accept

What they they give you, i get you
I don’t take no checks I take my respect
Pharrell even told me go with the safest bet
Jimmy Iovine offered a safety net

Google dangled around a crazy check
I feel like YouTube is the biggest culprit
Them niggas pay you a tenth of
What you supposed to get

You know niggas die for equal pay right?
You know when I work I
Ain't your slave right?
You know I ain't shucking and

Jiving and high fiving
You know this ain't back in the days right?
But I can't tell
Like the way they killed Freddie Gray right

Shot down Mike Brown how they did Tray right?
Let them continue choking niggas
We gonna turn style, I ain't your token nigga
You know I came in

This game independent right?
Tidal, my own label, same difference
Oh niggas is skeptical as their own shit
You bought 9 iPhones and Steve Jobs is rich

Phil Knight worth trillions you
Still bought those kicks
Spotify is 9 billion they ain't say shit
Lucy you got some 'splaining to do

The only one they hating on
Look the same as you
I know they trying to bamboozle you
Spending millions on media trying

To confuse you
I had to talk to myself, Hov you used to it
It's politics as usual
