Jay Z about accepting Beyoncés commitment to her work while they were dating. Lovely. I get the feeling rap is going to have to take a shake-down pretty soon. I dont think its meant to be, B But she loves her work more than she does me And honestly, at twenty-three I would probably love my work more than I did she So we, aint we Its me, and her Cause what she prefers over me, is work And thats, where we, differ So I have to give her Free, time, even if it hurts So breathe, mami, its deserved Youve been put on this earth to be All you can be, like the reserves And me? My time in the army, its served So I have to allow she, her, time to serve The times now for her In time shell mature And maybe we, can be, we, again like we were Finally, my times too short to share And to ask her now, it aint fair. + Saying in his book, Decoded: These lines are about trying to have a real, serious relationship with another ambitious professional. In a lot of ways, this is the flip side of the songs in my catalog like “Big Pimpin’,” where women exist almost completely as predators or objects. This is about how difficult it is to respect a lover as an autonomous human being, with separate needs and goals and timelines than yours. It’s one of the hardest things about a real relationship of equals. But it’s worth it.
