Yeah, I want all my niggas to come journey 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 from behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist Punching on my moms stomach, on her cervix 'cause I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose Was to be to reign, not in scorn or vain But to on a name, that my pops chose for me full of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, infant
A prophet in his stage, his mother 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 Flesh of her flesh, of her blood, her blood and bones Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my health That I become a man and learn to make a way for Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my Mixed with from my daddy's genes
Lotta I'm hearin', it's crazy Both 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, 'cause 4 pass, I'm still alive Guess I got what they a Ill Will to survive When I hard the lights is killin' my eyes I when moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live side to side, hear loud music and vibe All black are born with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize food flowin' through my tube I'm covered in this layer of goo
Month two was the least comfortable My cord choking 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 Watchin' 'em yell, heard my moms voice fist fights, so terrified when we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the I wondered if I am born, will I be at all
This place they call the world my view was so large Couldn't to get out, and grow up and take charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, I'm born in July But the Lord already figured out a date and time, 14th, '73 Get ready world, doctors in the waitin' for me Arms open 'cause know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment will start re-training Month 9, I'm a week due, the labor induced
told my moms, "Push and take deep breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm to hold on gloves touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my breath screams out Tears pouring down my pops he's so proud Wantin' to hold me, but I was so They washed me off and he said, "At that nigga ain't ugly" Placed me in his snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who me in her body She love me, and yo I plan to the devil Y'all to see this world in trouble
