Yeah, I want all my to come journey with me My name is Nas, and the year is Beginning of me, therefore I see my belly button window, who I am
I in a womb, just like an Abyss Came from the sun, my hands balled in a fist Punching on my stomach, kicking on her cervix Twitching I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose Was to be born to reign, not in scorn or But to take on a name, my pops chose for me Bloodstream full of indo, eyes Nine month process, size
A in his early stage, his mother in the early 30s Was to pops wishin' what she carried would drop I'm not worthy to come a women so pure, Ann Jones Flesh of her flesh, of her blood, her blood and bones prayers, she askin' for my good health That I become a man and to make a way for myself she was, and her paranoia got in my blood Mixed Marijuana from my daddy's genes

Pops told my moms, "Push and take deep too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm to hold on Surgical gloves my scalp, my head pops out is blurry, my first breath screams out Tears pouring down my face he's so proud to hold me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At least that ain't ugly" Placed me in his arms snuggly, me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who me in her body She love me, and yo I to overthrow the devil Y'all about to see this in trouble
