Yeah, I want all my to come journey with me My name is Nas, and the is 1973 of me, therefore I could see Through my button window, who I am
I existed in a womb, like an Abyss Came from behind the sun, my balled in a fist Punching on my moms stomach, on her cervix Twitching 'cause I'm nervous, my intended 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, developing Nine month process, infant
A prophet in his early stage, his in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she would drop I'm not to come from a women 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 make a way for Nervous she was, and her got in my blood Mixed with Marijuana from my genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', it's parents is scrappin' I'm not even a A miscarriage can
I my way out my mom dukes 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 I got what they call a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the is killin' my eyes I know when moms is layin' down, I get bored, to get live Move side to side, loud music and vibe All black babies are with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize food flowin' through my tube I'm in this thick layer of goo
two was the least most comfortable My cord choking me but month 3 was closer, see That's when took moms to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he changed his in the last minute Watchin' 'em yell, heard my moms voice Feared fights, so terrified when we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed on the wall I wondered if I am born, I be safe at all
This they call the world though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and charge 5, Month 6 went by, hopin' I'm born in July But the Lord already out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get world, doctors in the front waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, alot of gon' stop See how the goverment will start re-training Month 9, I'm a 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 my scalp, my head pops out is blurry, my first breath screams out Tears down my pops face he's so proud Wantin' to me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At 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 about to see this world in trouble
