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 belly window, who I am
I in a womb, just like an Abyss 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 born to reign, not in or vain But to take on a name, that my chose for me Bloodstream full of indo, developing month process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his mother in the 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she would drop I'm not worthy to come from a women so pure, Ann Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her and bones Hearin' prayers, she for my good health That I become a man and learn to a way for myself Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my Mixed with Marijuana from my daddy's
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both parents is I'm not a baby A can happen
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 wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive Guess I got what they a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the is killin' my eyes I when moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, hear loud music and All black babies are born with rhythm, no lie Solar energize, mineralize food through my mothers tube I'm covered in this layer of goo
Month two was the most comfortable 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, heard my voice well Feared fist fights, so terrified 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 to get out, and grow up and take charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, hopin' I'm in July But the Lord figured out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get world, doctors 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 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to on Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my pops out is blurry, my first breath screams out Tears pouring my pops face he's so proud Wantin' to hold me, but I was so They washed me off and he said, "At least that nigga ugly" me in his arms snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who held me in her She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the Y'all about to see this world in
