Lost my homie for a decade
Nigga down for like 12 years,

from Kanye West (Ft. Big Sean & Jay-Z) – Clique Lyrics on Rap Genius

Jay’s cousin that he mentions earlier, Emory Jones, was in jail for 12 years until his release just a few years ago. Jay loves him because Emory never snitched.

Alternately, some guys have made a video talking about how Jay was a snitch himself. Watch here if you want.
