Yeah, I want all my to come journey with me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 Beginning of me, I could see my belly button window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just an Abyss from behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist Punching on my moms stomach, on her cervix Twitching I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose Was to be to reign, not in scorn or vain But to take on a name, that my pops for me Bloodstream full of indo, eyes Nine month process, size
A prophet in his early stage, his in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she carried drop I'm not worthy to from a women so pure, Ann Jones of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and bones Hearin' prayers, she for my good health That I a man and learn to make a way for myself she was, and her paranoia got in my blood Mixed with Marijuana from my daddy's
Lotta I'm hearin', it's crazy parents is scrappin' I'm not a baby A miscarriage can
I shot my way out my mom I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes
Yo, they must wanna keep me, 4 months pass, I'm still alive Guess I got what call a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the is killin' my eyes I know moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move to side, hear loud music and vibe All babies are born with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize food flowin' through my mothers I'm covered in thick layer of goo
two was the least most comfortable My umbilical cord me but month 3 was closer, see when pops took moms to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he changed his mind in the last Watchin' 'em yell, my moms voice well Feared fist fights, so terrified we fell While broke up furniture and smashed plates on the wall I if I am born, will I be safe at all
This place they call the world though my was so large Couldn't to get out, and grow up and take charge Month 5, Month 6 by, hopin' I'm born in July But the already figured out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, doctors in the waitin' for me Arms open they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment start re-training cops 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and deep breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm to hold on Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my head out Everything is blurry, my first breath out Tears pouring down my pops he's so proud Wantin' to hold me, but I was so washed me off and he said, "At least that nigga ain't ugly" Placed me in his snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who held me in her She me, and yo I plan to overthrow the devil Y'all to see this world in trouble
