I like your observation. Yes, I agree. At first glance, it seems like those two lines don't go with the rest of the song. Why is he calling women bitches, when his song never really talks about women? Well, firstly, I think he's drawing attention to the fact that there are many problems and issues he must face as a black man, but at least he doesn't have to put up with a woman who acts like a bitch. A man that has a woman who often acts like a bitch, doesn't have a woman who understands him and stands by his side." But, then again, we must ask ourselves how is Jay-Z defining the word "bitch." I have Jay-Z's "Black Album" and towards the end he actually says, "I got 99 problems, but being a bitch ain't one." This word has so many connotations.
