Yeah, I want all my to come journey with me My name is Nas, and the is 1973 Beginning of me, therefore I see Through my button window, who I am
I in a womb, just like an Abyss Came from behind the sun, my hands balled in a Punching on my moms stomach, on her cervix 'cause I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose Was to be to reign, not in scorn or vain But to take on a name, that my chose for me full of indo, developing eyes Nine process, infant size
A prophet in his stage, his mother in the early 30s Was married to pops what she carried would drop I'm not worthy to come from a so pure, Ann Jones of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and bones Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my good That I a man and learn to make a way for myself Nervous she was, and her got in my blood Mixed with Marijuana from my daddy's
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both is scrappin' I'm not even a A can happen
I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes
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 know when moms is down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, loud music and vibe All black babies are born with rhythm, no lie Solar energize, food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in this layer of goo
Month two was the least most 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 mind in the last Watchin' 'em yell, heard my moms voice Feared fist fights, so terrified we fell they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the wall I wondered if I am born, will I be at all
This place they call the world though my was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and take Month 5, Month 6 by, hopin' I'm born in July But the Lord already out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, doctors in the waitin' for me Arms open they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment will re-training cops Month 9, I'm a week due, the labor induced
Pops my moms, "Push and take deep breaths too calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my pops out is blurry, my first breath screams out Tears pouring down my face he's so proud to hold me, but I was so bloody They 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 overthrow the Y'all to see this world in trouble
