Yeah, I all my niggas to come journey with me My name is Nas, and the year is Beginning of me, therefore I 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, thought my purpose Was to be born to reign, not in scorn or But to take on a name, my pops chose for me full of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, size
A prophet in his stage, his mother in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she carried would I'm not worthy to come from a so pure, Ann Jones of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and bones Hearin' prayers, she for my good health That I a man and learn to make a way for myself she was, and her paranoia got in my blood Mixed with Marijuana from my genes
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both is scrappin' I'm not even a A miscarriage can
I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom
Yo, they must keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive I got what they call a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the is killin' my eyes I know when moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get side to side, hear loud music and vibe All black babies are born with rhythm, no lie Solar energize, food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in this thick of goo
Month two was the most comfortable My cord choking me but month 3 was closer, see That's when pops took 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 While they broke up and smashed plates 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 wait to get out, and grow 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, doctors in the front for me open 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment will re-training cops Month 9, I'm a week due, the labor induced
told my moms, "Push and take deep breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to on gloves touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my first screams out Tears pouring my pops face he's so proud Wantin' to hold me, but I was so They washed me off and he said, "At that nigga ain't ugly" Placed me in his snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who held me in her She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the Y'all about to see this in trouble
