Jay-Z adds nothing but pure win to top off this great song.
His verse is pretty obvious if you think about it..
Just because you're successful doesn't mean you won't fall. All of those named fell hard.
"With the same sword they knight you, they gon' good night you with"
To me that means the same way or people that made you famous will be your demise. perfect example being "Don't believe me, ask Michael" Media made him famous and destroyed him. (RIP)
"see success is like suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified"
Again self explanatory.
so what it all comes down to is.
"Is to have had and lost
Better than not having at all?"
