Yeah, I want all my to come journey with me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 Beginning of me, I could see Through my button window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just an Abyss from behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist Punching on my moms stomach, kicking on her 'cause 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 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 to come from a women so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, of her blood, her blood and bones prayers, she askin' 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 Marijuana from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', 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 my way out my mom dukes
Yo, they must wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still I got what they call a Ill Will to survive When I hard the lights is killin' my eyes I know moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, hear loud and vibe All black babies are with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize food flowin' my mothers tube I'm in this thick layer of goo
Month two was the least comfortable My umbilical cord 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 in the last minute Watchin' 'em yell, heard my moms well Feared fist fights, so when 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 call the world though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and up and take charge 5, Month 6 went by, hopin' I'm born 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 gon' stop See how the goverment start re-training cops Month 9, I'm a over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take deep too Stay calm", her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my head out is blurry, my first breath screams 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 that ain't ugly" Placed me in his snuggly, laid 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
