Yeah, I want all my niggas to journey with me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 of me, therefore I could see Through my button window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just like an Came 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 take on a name, that my pops for me Bloodstream full of indo, developing Nine process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his mother in the 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she carried drop I'm not worthy to come from a women so pure, Ann Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her and bones Hearin' prayers, she for my good health That I become a man and learn to make a way for Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my Mixed Marijuana from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', crazy parents is scrappin' I'm not even a A miscarriage can
I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes
Yo, they must wanna keep me, 'cause 4 pass, I'm still alive Guess I got what they call a Ill Will to When I look hard the lights is my eyes I know when moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get Move side to side, hear loud music and All black babies are with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm in this thick layer of goo
two was the least most comfortable 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 mind in the last 'em yell, heard my moms voice well Feared fist fights, so when we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed on the wall I if I am born, will I be safe 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 by, hopin' I'm born in July 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, alot of shit's gon' See how the goverment start re-training cops Month 9, I'm a week over due, the labor
Pops told my moms, "Push and take breaths too Stay calm", her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical gloves my scalp, my head pops out is blurry, my first breath screams out Tears down my pops face he's so proud Wantin' to hold me, but I was so They me off and he said, "At least that nigga ain't ugly" me in his arms 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
