Yeah, I want all my niggas to come journey me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 of me, therefore I could see Through my belly window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just an Abyss Came from 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 on a name, that my pops chose for me Bloodstream full of indo, eyes Nine month process, infant
A prophet in his stage, his mother in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she would drop I'm not worthy to come from a so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my good That I become a man and learn to a way for myself she was, and her paranoia got in my blood Mixed Marijuana from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', it's Both parents is I'm not a baby A miscarriage can
I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes 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 still Guess I got what they call a Ill to survive When I look hard the lights is killin' my I know when is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, hear loud music and All black babies are with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize food through my mothers tube I'm covered in thick layer of goo
two was the least most comfortable My umbilical cord choking me but 3 was closer, see That's pops took moms to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he changed his mind in the last Watchin' 'em yell, heard my voice well Feared fist fights, so terrified we fell While they broke up and smashed plates on the wall I if I am born, will I be safe at all
This place they call the world though my view was so Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, I'm born in July But the already figured out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, doctors in the waitin' for me Arms 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment start re-training cops 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced
Pops my moms, "Push and take deep 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 down my pops he's so proud to hold 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 me, and yo I plan to overthrow the devil Y'all about to see world in trouble
