The BullSh*t Story
Why do I feel so passionate by your lack of ambition
The talks of big plans, but the lack of action into fruition
Im genuinely upset by your nonchalant views
The low expectations you have for you
I’m bothered by it
I know I shouldn’t be, for I can see, that we all have a choice and this is what you choose to be
Mediocre
Predictable
Another fucking statistic
Ignorance can’t be the only place that bliss lives
Is it that hard for you to use your brain past the mundane
To question something
To chase a dream
Instead of scheme
To uplift and support
Than to criticize and retort
It really pisses me off
That I come from a generation that lacks morals and ethical code
Where we don’t love each other but worship a C Note
It upsets me deeply
I wish it didn’t but it does
My reflection shows greatness
My heart stirs at your happiness
And rejoices in your success
But you, you pray for my downfall
Drowning so deep in your own darkness
You attempt to steal my light
Too blinded by its brightness
To realize
The real lies
You’ve told yourself
You failed to be better so you don’t want that for anyone else
Light cannot be captured
Nor defeated
Or misleaded
Light can only shine brighter in the midst of the dark
You’re swimming in mediocrity because you don’t know your own heart
SO that’s where YOU should start
Cause I’m angry, that you’re not angry
With your lack of ambition
The thought of big plans, and your lack of action into fruition.

Jay-Z and his girlfriend of three years, Rosario Dawson.
Hov and Dawson dated from 1997 to 2000, and some even say that they were set to have a child together until she miscarried before their break-up. As with anything in Jay’s private life it is unconfirmed, but Hov did speak on the subject of how he was going to soon become a father on his protege Amil’s song 4 Da Fam in early 2000; and then expressed his grief over a miscarriage in his own song This Can’t Be Life later that year. In a Vibe magazine cover interview in November 2000 the article explains “Yes, he did have a child on the way as he rapped on Amil’s ‘4 Da Fam’, but he stops short of giving a reason why that’s no longer the case.” Kingdom Come’s Lost One appeared to allude to his relationship with Dawson, but in Decoded it was cleared that Jay was talking about Beyonce.
Many years later in his book Decoded Jay also told readers that the verse on TCBL was actually about his first girlfriend who miscarried back in 1994.
