Yeah, I want all my niggas to come journey me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 of me, therefore I could see Through my belly window, who I am
I existed in a womb, like an Abyss Came from behind the sun, my hands in a fist on my moms stomach, kicking on her cervix Twitching 'cause I'm nervous, thought my purpose Was to be born to reign, not in or vain But to on a name, that my pops chose for me Bloodstream full of indo, eyes month process, infant size
A in his early stage, his mother in the early 30s Was married to wishin' 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 health That I become a man and learn to a way for myself Nervous she was, and her got in my blood Mixed with from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', it's Both is scrappin' I'm not even a 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 call a Ill Will to When I hard the lights is killin' my eyes I know when is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, hear loud and vibe All black babies are born 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 most comfortable My cord choking me but month 3 was closer, see That's when pops took moms to see the doc at the But I was saved, he his mind 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 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 already figured out a date and time, 14th, '73 Get ready world, in the front waitin' for me Arms 'cause they 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
Pops told my moms, "Push and deep breaths too calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my first screams out Tears pouring down my pops he's so proud to hold me, but I was so bloody They me off and he said, "At least that nigga ain't ugly" Placed me in his arms snuggly, me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who held me in her She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the Y'all about to see world in trouble
