Yeah, I want all my niggas to come with me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 Beginning of me, therefore I see Through my belly window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just like an Came from behind the sun, my balled in a fist Punching on my moms stomach, on her cervix Twitching I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose Was to be born to reign, not in scorn or But to take on a name, my pops chose for me Bloodstream full of indo, developing month process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she carried would 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 askin' for my good That I 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', 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 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 what call a Ill Will to survive When I hard the lights is killin' my eyes I know when moms is down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, hear loud and vibe All black are born with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize food flowin' through my tube I'm covered in this layer of goo
two was the least most comfortable My umbilical choking 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 'em yell, heard my moms voice well Feared fights, so terrified when we fell While they up furniture and smashed plates on the wall I wondered if I am born, I be safe at all
This place call the world though my view was so large Couldn't to get out, and grow up and take 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 ready world, doctors in the front for me Arms open 'cause they when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment will re-training cops Month 9, I'm a week over due, the labor
Pops told my moms, "Push and take breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm to hold on Surgical gloves my scalp, my head pops out is blurry, my first 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" me in his arms snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who me in her body She love me, and yo I plan to the devil Y'all about to see this in trouble
