In one of the songs in "4:44" with the same title, the rapper bared his soul and talked about cheating and how his children helped him open his eyes, "I apologize often womanize.

During the course of the song, Jay-Z explained how his children opened his eyes about his mistakes. Explaining that the thought of his children finding out what he did will crush him.
