Yeah, I want all my niggas to come with me My name is Nas, and the is 1973 Beginning of me, therefore I see Through my belly window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just an Abyss Came from the sun, my hands balled in a fist Punching on my 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 take on a name, that my pops for me full of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, size
A prophet in his early stage, his in the early 30s Was to pops 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 and bones Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my good That I become a man and to make a way for myself Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my Mixed with Marijuana from my daddy's
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both is scrappin' I'm not even a A miscarriage can
I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom I shot my way out my mom
Yo, they must wanna keep me, 4 months pass, I'm still alive Guess I got what they call a Ill Will to I look hard the lights is killin' my eyes I when moms 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 energize, mineralize food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in thick layer of goo
two was the least most comfortable My umbilical 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 changed his mind in the minute Watchin' 'em yell, my moms voice well Feared fist fights, so when we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the I wondered if I am born, I be safe at all
place they call 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, I'm born in July But the Lord figured out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, in the front waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' See how the goverment start re-training cops Month 9, I'm a week over due, the labor
Pops told my moms, "Push and deep breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to on Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my pops out Everything is blurry, my first screams out pouring down my pops face he's so proud Wantin' to hold me, but I was so washed 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 me in her body She love me, and yo I plan to the devil about to see this world in trouble
