Yeah, I want all my niggas to journey with me My name is Nas, and the is 1973 of me, therefore I could see Through my button window, who I am
I in a womb, just like an Abyss Came from behind the sun, my hands balled in a on my moms stomach, kicking on her cervix Twitching 'cause I'm nervous, my intended purpose Was to be born to reign, not in scorn or But to take on a name, that my pops for me full of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, infant
A prophet in his early stage, his mother in the 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 health That I become a man and learn to make a way for Nervous she was, and her got in my blood Mixed with Marijuana from my daddy's
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both parents is I'm not even a A miscarriage can
I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom
Yo, must 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 lights is killin' my I know when moms is layin' down, I get bored, to get live Move side to side, hear loud music and All black babies are born rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in this thick 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, heard my moms voice fist fights, so terrified when we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed on the wall I wondered if I am born, I be safe at all
place they call the world though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and up and take charge Month 5, Month 6 by, hopin' I'm born in July But the Lord already figured out a date and time, 14th, '73 Get world, doctors in the front waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, of shit's gon' stop See how the will start re-training cops Month 9, I'm a week over due, the labor
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 down my pops face he's so proud to hold me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At that nigga ain't ugly" me in his arms snuggly, laid 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 this world in
