JAY-Z recently released his 14th album 4:44, and sure, it’s good. Full of revelations, disses, confessions—You know the drill by now. But there is someone that we need to talk about:
Miss Blue Ivy Carter.
Last night, a Twitter user shared audio of the 4:44 bonus track, “Blue’s Freestyle/We Family.” And the internet was shook.
Genius was kind enough to transcribe the lyrics for us, and they are as profound and beautiful as you would expect from a 5-year-old.
And Twitter responded accordingly. Enjoy some of the best responses to Blue’s rapping debut.

Can't believe Blue Ivy's father was lucky enough to be featured on Blue Ivy's song. What a time to be alive

Great job, Blue! We can’t wait for your album to drop in 2018!
Back in 1998, Jay-Z talks about rap being more album oriented rather than just singles as well as the emerging hip-hop culture.
