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 an Abyss Came from behind the sun, my hands in a fist Punching on my moms stomach, on her cervix 'cause 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, infant
A in his early stage, his mother in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she carried would I'm not worthy to come from a women so pure, Ann of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and bones 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 Marijuana from my daddy's
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both is scrappin' I'm not a baby A miscarriage can
I shot my way out my mom 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 keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm alive Guess I got they call a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the lights is my eyes I when moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live side to side, hear loud music and vibe All black babies are with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize food flowin' through my mothers I'm in this thick layer of goo
two was the least most comfortable My umbilical cord choking me but 3 was closer, see That's when pops took moms to see the doc at the But I was saved, he changed his in the last minute Watchin' 'em yell, my moms voice well Feared fist fights, so terrified when we While 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 my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and take 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 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 over due, the 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 Everything is blurry, my first breath out Tears pouring down my face he's so proud Wantin' to hold me, but I was so washed 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 the devil Y'all about to see world in trouble
