Yeah, I all my niggas to come journey with me My name is Nas, and the is 1973 of me, therefore I could see Through my button window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just like an Came from behind the sun, my hands balled in a Punching on my moms stomach, kicking on her Twitching 'cause I'm nervous, my intended purpose Was to be born to reign, not in or vain But to on a name, that my pops chose for me full of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, size
A prophet in his early stage, his in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she carried would 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 I become a man and learn to make a way for myself Nervous she was, and her got in my blood Mixed Marijuana from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', crazy parents is scrappin' I'm not a baby A can happen
I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom
Yo, they must wanna keep me, 4 months pass, I'm still alive I got what they call a Ill Will to survive When I look the lights is killin' my eyes I know moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, hear loud and vibe All babies are born with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in this layer of goo
Month two was the least most 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 in the last minute 'em yell, heard my moms voice well Feared fist fights, so when we fell While they broke up furniture and plates on the wall I if I am born, will I be safe at all
place they call the world though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and up and take charge Month 5, 6 went by, hopin' I'm born in July But the Lord already figured out a date and time, 14th, '73 Get ready world, doctors in the front for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's stop See how the goverment will start cops Month 9, I'm a over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm to hold on Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my pops out Everything is blurry, my first breath out Tears down my pops face he's so proud Wantin' to hold me, but I was so They washed me off and he said, "At least nigga ain't ugly" Placed me in his arms snuggly, me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who me in her body She me, and yo I plan to overthrow the devil Y'all to see this world in trouble
