No One Knows What Blue Ivy Is Saying in This Freestyle Rap, But It’s Iconic

Look, Blue Ivy may only be five years old, but when you’re blessed with parents as talented as BeyoncĂ© and Jay-Z, you could sing total gibberish and make it sound good. And that’s exactly what the little freestyler did.

Jay-Z’s new album 4:44, which dropped on TIDAL June 29, has a bonus track titled “Blue’s Freestyle/We Family.” Much to Twitter’s delight, almost the entire first minute of the song features the most epic and confusing freestyle rap that no one knew they needed until right now. 

While the only thing I took away from the rap was “boom shakalaka,” Genius decided to do us all a solid and attempt to decipher Blue Ivy’s lyrics. Who knew a line about ceilings could be so profound?

As you can already guess, Twitter went absolutely wild for our favorite little rapper, leaving us feeling #blessed. Here are just a few of the reactions.
