Yeah, I want all my to come journey with me My name is Nas, and the is 1973 Beginning of me, therefore I see my belly button window, who I am
I existed in a womb, like an Abyss from behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist Punching on my stomach, kicking on her cervix Twitching 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 pops for me Bloodstream full of indo, eyes Nine process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his in the early 30s Was married to wishin' what she carried would drop I'm not to come from a women so pure, Ann Jones of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and bones Hearin' prayers, she for my good health That I become a man and learn to a way for myself she was, and her paranoia got in my blood Mixed with Marijuana from my daddy's
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both is scrappin' I'm not a baby A can happen
I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes
Yo, they must keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive Guess I got they call a Ill Will to survive When I hard the lights is killin' my eyes I know when moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get Move to side, hear loud music and vibe All black are born with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in thick layer of goo

This place they the world though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, I'm born in July But the Lord already figured out a and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get world, doctors in the front waitin' for me Arms open they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the will 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", her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my head out Everything is blurry, my first 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 that nigga ain't ugly" Placed me in his arms snuggly, me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who held me in her She love me, and yo I plan to the devil Y'all about to see this world in
