Yeah, I want all my niggas to come journey me My name is Nas, and the year is of me, therefore I could see Through my belly window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just an Abyss Came from the sun, my hands balled in a fist 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 take on a name, that my pops for me Bloodstream of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, infant
A in his early stage, his mother in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she carried drop I'm not worthy to come from a so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her and bones Hearin' prayers, she for my good health I become a man and learn to make a way for myself Nervous she was, and her got in my blood Mixed with Marijuana from my genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', it's Both parents is I'm not even a A can happen
I shot my way out my mom I shot my way out my mom 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 they call a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the lights is killin' my 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 with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize flowin' through my mothers tube I'm in this thick layer of goo
Month two was the least comfortable My umbilical choking me but month 3 was closer, see That's pops took moms to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he changed his mind in the last Watchin' 'em yell, heard my moms voice Feared fights, so terrified when we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed on the wall I wondered if I am born, I be safe at all
This place they call the world my view was so large wait to get out, and grow up and take charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, I'm born in July But the Lord already out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, in the front waitin' for me Arms 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment will start cops Month 9, I'm a week over due, the labor
Pops told my moms, "Push and deep breaths too calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my breath 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 least that nigga ugly" Placed me in his snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who me in her body She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the Y'all about to see this world in
