Yeah, I all my niggas to come journey with me My name is Nas, and the year is Beginning of me, I could see Through my belly 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, on her cervix '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 of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, size
A prophet in his early stage, his mother in the 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she would drop I'm not worthy to from a women so pure, Ann Jones of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and bones Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my health That I become a man and learn to make a way for she was, and her paranoia got in my blood Mixed with from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', crazy Both parents is I'm not even a A miscarriage can
I shot my way out my mom I shot my way out my mom 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 to survive I look hard the lights is killin' my eyes I know when is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, hear loud music and All black are born with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize flowin' through my mothers tube I'm in this thick layer of goo
two was the least most comfortable My cord 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 well Feared fist fights, so terrified when we While they up furniture and smashed plates on the wall I wondered if I am born, I be safe at all
place they call the world though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and up and take charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, 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 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment start re-training cops Month 9, I'm a over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take deep too Stay calm", her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical gloves my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my first breath out Tears down my pops face he's so proud Wantin' to me, but I was so bloody washed me off and he said, "At least that nigga ain't ugly" Placed me in his arms snuggly, 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 to see this world in trouble
