The “degradation has passed,” he says. In a poem he wrote for his new daughter Blue Ivy, Jay-Z writes that he won't continue to use the word “bitch” in reference to women anymore. We'll see how that works out.
"Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich/I didn’t think hard about using the word bitch/I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it/Now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it.
No man will degrade her, or call her name. I'm so focused on your future, the degradation has passed. I wish you wealth, health and insight. Forever young you may pass. Blue Ivy Carter, my angel".
