Yeah, I want all my to come journey with me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 of me, therefore I could see Through my belly window, who I am
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 'cause I'm nervous, my intended purpose Was to be to reign, not in scorn or vain But to on a name, that my pops chose for me Bloodstream of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, infant
A in his early stage, his mother in the early 30s Was married to pops 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 Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my good That I become a man and learn to make a way for Nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my with Marijuana from my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', it's Both parents is I'm not a baby A can happen
I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes I my way out my mom dukes
Yo, they must wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still Guess I got what they call a Ill Will to When I look hard the lights is killin' my I know when moms is layin' down, I get bored, start to get Move side to side, loud music and vibe All black babies are born with rhythm, no lie Solar energize, mineralize food flowin' my mothers tube I'm covered in this layer of goo
Month two was the most comfortable My umbilical cord choking me but 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 last Watchin' 'em yell, heard my moms voice Feared fist fights, so terrified we fell While they up furniture and smashed plates 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 wait to get out, and grow up and take charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, hopin' I'm in July But the Lord already figured out a date and time, 14th, '73 Get ready world, in the front waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' See how the goverment will start re-training Month 9, I'm a week due, the labor induced
Pops told my moms, "Push and take deep too Stay calm", her arm, I'm trying to hold on Surgical gloves my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my breath screams out Tears pouring down my pops 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" me in his arms snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who me in her body She me, and yo I plan to overthrow the devil Y'all to see this world in trouble
