Yeah, I want all my to come journey with me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 of me, therefore I could see Through my belly window, who I am
I existed in a womb, like an Abyss Came from behind the sun, my hands in a fist Punching on my stomach, kicking on her cervix Twitching 'cause I'm nervous, my intended purpose Was to be to reign, not in scorn or vain But to take on a name, that my chose for me Bloodstream full of indo, eyes month process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his in the early 30s Was married to pops what she carried would drop I'm not worthy to come from a women so pure, Ann Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my health That I become a man and learn to make a way for Nervous she was, and her got in my blood Mixed Marijuana from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', crazy parents is scrappin' I'm not a baby A miscarriage can
I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes
Yo, they must wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm alive Guess I got what they a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the lights is my eyes I know when moms is layin' down, I get bored, to get live side to side, hear loud music and vibe All black babies are born rhythm, that's no lie energize, mineralize food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in thick layer of goo
Month two was the least most 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 Watchin' 'em yell, heard my moms voice Feared fist fights, so terrified we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed on the wall I wondered if I am born, will I be at all
This place they call the world though my view was so Couldn't wait to get out, and up and take charge 5, Month 6 went by, hopin' I'm born in July But the already figured out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, doctors in the waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, alot of gon' stop See how the goverment will start re-training Month 9, I'm a over due, the labor induced
Pops my moms, "Push and take deep breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm to hold on gloves touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my first breath out Tears pouring down my pops face he's so Wantin' to 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 me in her body She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the about to see this world in trouble
