Pharrell Williams – Entrepreneur (ft. Jay-Z) (Audio, Lyrics, Video)

Pharrell Entrepreneur

As the gossip continues about Jay-Z potentially releasing his Pharrell Williams collaboration in order to steal attention from Nas, the single has arrived. We don’t receive too much music from Jay nowadays as his mogul status has caused him to shift his energy elsewhere, but when he does drop music—like he did when he recently linked up with Jay Electronica—it’s always a touch of gold.

The celebrated rapper and the megaproducer are responsible for creating some of our favorite hits for decades, both collectively and individually, so it’s always a treat when they join forces. Their latest, “Entrepreneur” doesn’t disappoint, and we’re excited to hear this one on heavy rotation. “The intention for a song was all about how tough it is to be an entrepreneur in our country to begin with,” Pharrell explained. “Especially as someone of color, there’s a lot of systemic disadvantages and purposeful blockages. How can you get a fire started, or even the hope of an ember to start a fire, when you’re starting at disadvantages with regards to health care, education, and representation?”

Lyrics

[Intro: Pharrell Williams]
I am black ambition
I am always whisperin’
They keep tellin’ me I will not
But my will won’t listen
Gravity on a black man
With everything on his back and
His family and passion
If the doors ain’t crackin’

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
You gotta let go (Let go)
If you want to fly, take the leap
You gotta risk it all (Risk it all)
Or they’ll be lots of things you’ll never see
You gotta let, let go
‘Cause you never know what’s in store
Mister entrepreneur

[Verse 1: Pharrell Williams]
In this position with no choice
A system imprison young black boys
Distract with white noise
The brainwashed become hype boys
Third eye dilate
You wasn’t supposed to make it off Section Eight
Robbin’ Peter just to pay Paul
Prepare to risk everything

[Chorus: Pharrell Williams]
You need let go (Let go)
If you want to fly, take the leap
You gotta risk it all (Risk it all)
Or they’ll be lots of things you’ll never see
Remember black is space
And its the color of your face
There will be no sunny days
If Black went away

[Refrain: Pharrell Williams]
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Dont go chasin’ waterfalls
Please stick to the drip that you’re used to
They don’t make them like they used to

[Verse 2: JAY-Z]
Uh, lies told to you, through YouTubes and Hulus
Shows with no hues that look like you do
Black Twitter, what’s that? When Jack gets paid, do you?
For every one Gucci, support two FUBUs
Sippin’ crip-a-Cola consumer and a owner, uh
‘Til we all vertically integrated from the floor up
D’Usse pourer, sip Ace ’til I throw up
Like gang signs ‘cept I bang mines for both ya
Serial entrepreneur, we on our own
Stop sittin’ around waitin’ for folks to throw you a bone
If you can’t buy the building at least stock the shelf (Word)
Then keep on stackin’ ’til you stockin’ for yourself, uh
See, everything you place after black
Is too small a term to completely describe the act
Black nation, black builder, black entrepreneur
You in the presence of Black Excellence and I’m on the board
Lord Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
God, God, God, God, God
Lord, yuh, God

[Refrain: Pharrell Williams]
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man

[Outro]
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
Black man, Black man, Black man
