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 in a womb, just like an Abyss Came from behind the sun, my hands balled in a on my moms stomach, kicking on her cervix Twitching 'cause I'm nervous, my intended purpose Was to be born to reign, not in scorn or But to take on a name, that my pops for me Bloodstream full of indo, developing Nine month process, size
A prophet in his stage, his mother in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she carried would I'm not worthy to come from a so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, of her blood, her blood and bones Hearin' prayers, she for my good health That I become a man and learn to a way for myself Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my Mixed with Marijuana my daddy's genes
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both is scrappin' I'm not even a A can happen
I shot my way out my mom I shot my way out my mom I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes
Yo, they must wanna me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive Guess I got what they call a Ill to survive When I look hard the is killin' my eyes I know when moms is down, I get bored, start to get live side to side, hear loud music and vibe All black babies are with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize food flowin' my mothers tube I'm covered in thick layer of goo
Month two was the most comfortable My umbilical choking me but month 3 was closer, see That's when pops took to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he changed his in the last minute Watchin' 'em yell, my moms voice well Feared fist fights, so terrified when we While they broke up furniture and smashed on the wall I wondered if I am born, will I be at all
This place they the world though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and take Month 5, Month 6 went by, hopin' I'm born in But the Lord already figured out a date and time, 14th, '73 Get ready world, in the front waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment will start cops Month 9, I'm a week due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take breaths too Stay calm", her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my breath screams out Tears pouring down my pops face so proud to hold me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At least that nigga 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 the devil about to see this world in trouble
