Yeah, I all my niggas to come journey with me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 Beginning of me, I could see Through my belly window, who I am
I in a womb, just like an Abyss Came from behind the sun, my hands balled in a Punching on my moms stomach, on her cervix Twitching 'cause I'm nervous, thought my purpose Was to be to reign, not in scorn or vain But to take on a name, that my pops for me Bloodstream of indo, developing eyes month process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his in the early 30s Was married to pops what she carried would drop I'm not to come from a women so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my good That I become a man and learn to a way for myself Nervous she was, and her got in my blood Mixed with Marijuana from my genes
Lotta I'm hearin', it's 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 shot my way out my mom I shot my way out my mom
Yo, they wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive I got what they call a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the lights is my eyes I know moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move to side, hear loud music and vibe All black are born with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize food through my mothers tube I'm covered in thick layer of goo
Month two was the least comfortable My cord choking me but month 3 was closer, see That's when 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 when we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed on the wall I wondered if I am born, I be safe at all
This place call the world though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and take Month 5, Month 6 by, hopin' I'm born in July But the Lord figured out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, doctors in the front for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' See how the goverment will start re-training Month 9, I'm a week due, the labor induced
Pops my moms, "Push and take deep breaths too calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical gloves my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my breath screams out pouring 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 that ain't ugly" me in his arms snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who me in her body She me, and yo I plan to overthrow the devil about to see this world in trouble
