The third track on "4:44" - "Smile" - features Jay-Z's mother, Gloria Carter, and contains this couplet about her: "Momma had four kids, but she's a lesbian / Had to pretend so long that she's a thespian." His rapping here is buttery and exuberant: "I just wanna see you smile through all the hate / Marie Antoinette, baby, let 'em eat cake." So his approach to Gloria manages to exult her and, for anybody annoyed by his "eat the cake, Anna Mae" line on Beyoncé's 2013 track " Drunk in Love," arguably to exonerate him from having cast himself as Ike Turner to Beyoncé's Tina.
