Yeah, I want all my to come journey with me My name is Nas, and the year is Beginning of me, I could see Through my button window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just like an Came from behind the sun, my hands in a fist Punching on my moms stomach, kicking on her 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 chose 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 carried would I'm not worthy to from a women so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my good That I become a man and learn to make a way for she was, and her paranoia got in my blood Mixed with from my daddy's genes

I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom
Yo, they wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive Guess I got what they call a Ill to survive When I hard the lights is killin' my eyes I when moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move 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 this layer of goo
two was the least most comfortable My umbilical cord choking me but 3 was closer, see That's when took moms to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he changed his mind in the last Watchin' 'em yell, heard my moms voice Feared fist fights, so when we fell While they broke up furniture and plates on the wall I wondered if I am born, will I be at all
place they call the world though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, I'm born in July But the Lord figured 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 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 take deep too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm to hold on gloves touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my breath screams out pouring down my pops face he's so proud Wantin' to me, but I was so bloody washed me off and he said, "At least that nigga ain't ugly" Placed me in his snuggly, laid 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
