Yeah, I want all my to come journey with me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 Beginning of me, therefore I see my belly button 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 Twitching 'cause I'm nervous, thought my intended Was to be born to reign, not in or vain But to on a name, that my pops chose for me Bloodstream of indo, developing eyes Nine process, infant size
A prophet in his stage, his mother in the early 30s Was to pops wishin' what she carried would drop I'm not worthy to come from a women so pure, Ann Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and prayers, she askin' for my good health That I become a man and to make a way for myself Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my with Marijuana from my daddy's genes

I my way out my mom dukes 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 me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still alive Guess I got what they a Ill Will to survive When I look hard the lights is killin' my I know when moms is layin' down, I get bored, to get live Move side to side, hear loud and vibe All black babies are born with rhythm, no lie Solar energize, food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in thick layer of goo
Month two was the most comfortable My umbilical 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 changed his mind in the minute Watchin' 'em yell, my moms voice well fist fights, so terrified when we fell While they broke up furniture and plates on the wall I wondered if I am born, will I be at all
place they call the world though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, hopin' I'm born in But the Lord already figured out a and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, doctors in the waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's stop See how the goverment will start cops Month 9, I'm a 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 touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my breath screams out Tears pouring down my pops face he's so to hold me, but I was so bloody They washed me off and he said, "At 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 love me, and yo I to overthrow the devil Y'all about to see this in trouble
