Yeah, I want all my niggas to come with me My name is Nas, and the is 1973 of me, therefore I could see Through my belly window, who I am
I existed in a womb, like an Abyss Came behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist 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 month process, size
A prophet in his 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 Flesh of her flesh, 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 she was, and her paranoia got in my blood Mixed with from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', crazy Both is scrappin' 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 alive I got what they call a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the is killin' my eyes I know when moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get Move to side, hear loud music and vibe All black are born with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize food flowin' through my mothers I'm covered in this layer of goo
Month two was the least most My umbilical choking me but month 3 was closer, see when pops took moms to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he changed his in the last minute Watchin' 'em yell, my moms voice well Feared fist fights, so when we fell 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 world my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, hopin' I'm in July But the Lord already figured out a date and time, 14th, '73 Get ready world, in the front waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's stop See how the goverment will start re-training Month 9, I'm a week due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take deep too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm to hold on Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my pops out Everything is blurry, my first 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 least that nigga 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 to overthrow the devil Y'all about to see this in trouble
