Yeah, I want all my niggas to come with me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 Beginning of me, I could see Through my belly 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 stomach, kicking on her cervix 'cause I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose Was to be to reign, not in scorn or vain But to on a name, that my pops chose for me Bloodstream full of indo, developing Nine month process, infant
A prophet in his early stage, his mother in the 30s Was married to pops wishin' she carried would drop I'm not worthy to from a women so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her and bones Hearin' prayers, she for my good health That I a man and learn to make a way for myself Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my with Marijuana from my daddy's genes
Lotta I'm hearin', it's crazy parents 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 shot my way out my mom

Finally, I got to see who me in her body She me, and yo I plan to overthrow the devil Y'all about to see this world in
