Yeah, I want all my niggas to come with 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 from behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist Punching on my moms stomach, kicking on her Twitching I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose Was to be born to reign, not in or vain But to take on a name, that my chose for me Bloodstream full of indo, developing month process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his mother in the 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she carried 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 health That I become a man and learn to a way for myself Nervous she was, and her got in my blood Mixed Marijuana from my daddy's genes
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both parents is 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 shot my way out my mom
Yo, they must wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still Guess I got they call a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the lights is my eyes I know when moms is down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, hear music and vibe All babies are born with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize flowin' through my mothers tube I'm in this thick layer of goo
Month two was the most comfortable My cord 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 mind in the last Watchin' 'em yell, my moms voice well Feared fist fights, so terrified when we While they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the I if I am born, will I be safe at all
This place they call the though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and up and take charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, hopin' I'm in July But the already figured out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, doctors in the waitin' for me Arms 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment will start cops Month 9, I'm a over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take breaths too Stay calm", 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 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 the devil Y'all to see this world in trouble
