I existed in a womb, just like an Came from behind the sun, my balled in a fist on my moms stomach, kicking on her cervix Twitching I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose Was to be born to reign, not in or vain But to take on a name, my pops chose for me Bloodstream full of indo, eyes Nine process, infant size
A in his early stage, his mother in the early 30s Was to pops wishin' what she carried would drop I'm not to come from a women so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, of her blood, her blood and bones Hearin' prayers, she for my good health That I become a man and learn to make a way for Nervous she was, and her got in my blood with Marijuana from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', it's parents is scrappin' I'm not a baby A miscarriage can
I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom 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 they call a Ill to survive When I look hard the lights is killin' my I know moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move side to side, hear music and vibe All black babies are born rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, mineralize flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in thick layer of goo
Month two was the 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 his mind 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 if I am born, will I be safe at all
This place they call the world though my view was so 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, doctors in the front for me Arms open 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 Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my pops out Everything is blurry, my breath screams out Tears down my pops face he's so proud 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 held me in her She me, and yo I plan to overthrow the devil Y'all about to see this in trouble
