Yeah, I want all my to come journey with me My name is Nas, and the year is Beginning of me, therefore I see Through my button window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just an Abyss from 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 scorn or But to take on a name, that my pops for me full of indo, developing eyes Nine process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his mother in the 30s Was married to pops what she carried 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 a man and learn to make a way for myself she was, and her paranoia got in my blood Mixed with from my daddy's genes
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both parents is I'm not a baby 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, must wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive Guess I got what they call a Ill to survive When I look hard the is killin' my eyes I know when moms is down, I get bored, start to get live side to side, hear loud music and vibe All black are born with rhythm, that's no lie energize, mineralize food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in this layer of goo
Month two was the least most My umbilical choking me but month 3 was closer, see That's when took moms to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he his mind in the last minute 'em yell, heard my moms voice well Feared fights, so terrified when we fell they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the wall I if I am born, will I be safe at all
This place they the world though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and up and take charge 5, Month 6 went by, hopin' I'm born in July But the Lord already out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get world, doctors 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 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and deep breaths too calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical gloves my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my first screams out Tears pouring my pops face he's so proud to hold me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At least that nigga ugly" Placed me in his arms snuggly, me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who held me in her She love me, and yo I to overthrow the devil Y'all about to see world in trouble
