Interlude (Album Version (Edited)) - Jay-Z

Written by：Justin SmithShawn Carter/Justin SmithShawn Carter

The other night when I was researching

What was going to be discussed today

I came across a passage wrote down

I think it really exemplifies

What the young brother next to me was just talking about

And I learned that all things must come to an end

It is an inevitable part of the cycle of existance

All things must conclude

Take the analogy of a tree that grows in Brooklyn

Among the steel and the concrete with all its glorious

Branches and leaves

One day it too will pass on its legacy

Through the seeds it dropped to the ground

And as the wind carries these seeds throughout

Wherever they might move a new life

Will begin for each one of them as

They stand as a monument to the one that came before

That came before

That came before

That came before

That came before
