This place they call the world though my was so large wait to get out, and grow 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 ready world, in the front waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's stop See how the will start re-training cops 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to on Surgical touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my first screams out Tears pouring down my pops face he's so 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 snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who held me in her She love me, and yo I to overthrow the devil about to see this world in trouble
