Yeah, I want all my niggas to come journey me My name is Nas, and the year is of me, therefore I could see Through my belly window, who I am
I existed in a womb, like an Abyss Came behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist Punching on my moms stomach, kicking on her Twitching 'cause I'm nervous, thought my purpose Was to be born to reign, not in scorn or But to take on a name, my pops chose for me full of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, infant
A prophet in his early stage, his in the early 30s Was to pops wishin' what she carried would drop I'm not worthy to come from a women so pure, Ann Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her and bones Hearin' prayers, she for my good health That I become a man and learn to a way for myself she was, and her paranoia got in my blood Mixed with from my daddy's genes
Lotta I'm hearin', it's crazy Both parents is I'm not a baby A can happen
I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes
Yo, they wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive Guess I got what call a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the lights is my eyes I know when is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, hear music and vibe All black babies are with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in thick layer of goo
Month two was the most comfortable My umbilical cord choking me but 3 was closer, see That's when pops took moms to see the doc at the But I was saved, he changed his mind in the minute Watchin' 'em yell, heard my voice well Feared fights, so terrified when 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 view was so Couldn't to get out, and grow up and take charge Month 5, Month 6 by, hopin' I'm born in July But the Lord already figured out a and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get world, doctors in the front waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment start re-training cops Month 9, I'm a week due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take breaths too calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my pops out Everything is blurry, my breath screams out Tears pouring down my pops he's so proud to hold me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At least nigga ain't ugly" me in his arms snuggly, laid 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
