Yeah, I want all my niggas to come journey me My name is Nas, and the is 1973 Beginning of me, 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 Punching on my stomach, kicking on her cervix 'cause I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose Was to be born to reign, not in scorn or But to on a name, that my pops chose for me Bloodstream full of indo, developing Nine month process, infant
A prophet in his stage, his mother in the early 30s Was to pops wishin' what she carried would drop I'm not to come from a women so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, of her blood, her blood and bones Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my health That I become a man and to make a way for myself Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my Mixed with Marijuana my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', it's parents is scrappin' I'm not a baby A can happen
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 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, loud music and vibe All black babies are born with rhythm, no lie Solar energize, food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm in this thick layer of goo
Month two was the most comfortable My umbilical choking me but month 3 was closer, see That's when pops took moms to see the doc at the But I was saved, he changed his mind in the minute Watchin' 'em yell, heard my moms voice Feared fist fights, so terrified when we they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the wall I wondered if I am born, will I be at all
This they call the world though 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 born in But the Lord figured out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, in the front waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, of shit's gon' 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 deep too calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my first breath out Tears pouring down my face he's so proud to hold me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At least nigga ain't ugly" Placed me in his 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 about to see this world in trouble
