Yeah, I want all my niggas to journey with me My name is Nas, and the year is of me, therefore I could see Through my belly window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just an Abyss from behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist Punching on my moms stomach, on her cervix Twitching I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose Was to be born to reign, not in or vain But to take on a name, my pops chose for me full of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, size
A in his early stage, his mother in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' she carried would drop I'm not worthy to come a women so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her and bones prayers, she askin' for my good health That I become a man and to make a way for myself Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my Mixed with Marijuana my daddy's genes
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both is scrappin' I'm not even a A miscarriage can
I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes
Yo, they must keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive Guess I got what they call a Ill Will to When I look hard the lights is my eyes I know when 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, food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in this layer of goo
Month two was the least most My umbilical cord choking me but 3 was closer, see when pops took moms to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he changed his mind in the minute Watchin' 'em yell, heard my voice well Feared fist fights, so terrified when we While they broke up 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 view was so 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 figured out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, doctors in the front for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, of shit's gon' stop See how the will start re-training cops 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take deep too Stay calm", her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical touching my scalp, my head pops out is blurry, my first breath screams out Tears pouring down my pops face he's so to hold me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At that nigga ain't ugly" me in his arms snuggly, laid 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 about to see this in trouble
