Yeah, I want all my niggas to come journey me My name is Nas, and the is 1973 Beginning of me, I could see my belly button 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 I'm nervous, thought 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 of indo, developing eyes month process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she would drop I'm not worthy to come from a so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and prayers, she askin' for my good health That I become a man and to make a way for myself Nervous she was, and her got in my blood with Marijuana from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', it's Both parents is I'm not even a 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 shot my way out my mom
Yo, they must wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still Guess I got what they call a Ill to survive When I look hard the lights is my eyes I know when moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get Move side to side, hear loud and vibe All babies are born with rhythm, that's no lie energize, mineralize food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in thick layer of goo
Month two was the least comfortable My umbilical cord 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 in the last minute Watchin' 'em yell, heard my moms voice fist fights, so terrified when we fell While they broke up furniture and plates on the wall I wondered if I am born, will I be at all
This place they call the world though my view was so wait to get out, and grow up and take charge Month 5, 6 went by, hopin' I'm born in July But the Lord already figured out a and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, doctors in the front for me Arms open they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment will re-training cops 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm to hold 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 me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At least 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 Y'all about to see world in trouble
