"i’m not afraid of dying, i’m afraid of not trying" – jay-z, "beach chair"

February 27, 2007 | Filed Under Favourite Songs, Music Discussion 

i’ve been listening to a lot of his back material of late, but my favourite song at the moment has to be this track off of his latest LP.. and though all three of his verses on this track are pretty much quotable, i’ve selected the parts that highlight it..

“Some said HOV, how you get so fly
I said from not being afraid to fall out the sky
My physical’s a shell, so when I say farewell
My soul will find an even higher plane to dwell
So fly you shall -
so have no fear, just know that life is but a beach chair”

“No compass comes with this life – just eyes
So to map it out, you must look inside
Sure books can guide you – but your heart defines you“
