Yeah, I want all my niggas to journey with me My name is Nas, and the year is of me, therefore I could see Through my button window, who I am
I existed in a womb, just an Abyss Came from behind the sun, my hands balled in a Punching on my moms stomach, on her cervix 'cause I'm nervous, thought my intended purpose Was to be to reign, not in scorn or vain But to on a name, that my pops chose for me full of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, infant
A prophet in his early stage, his mother in the 30s Was married to pops what she carried would drop I'm not worthy to come a women so pure, Ann Jones of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and bones Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my good That I a man and learn to make a way for myself Nervous she was, and her got in my blood Mixed with Marijuana from my genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', it's Both parents is I'm not a baby A can happen

Yo, they must wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still Guess I got they call a Ill Will 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, loud music and vibe All babies are born with rhythm, that's no lie Solar energize, food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm covered in this layer of goo
Month two was the most comfortable My umbilical cord me but month 3 was closer, see That's when pops took moms to see the doc at the But I was saved, he changed his in the last minute Watchin' 'em yell, heard my moms well Feared fist fights, so terrified we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the I wondered if I am born, I be safe at all
This place they call the world though my was so large wait to get out, and grow up and take charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, I'm born in July But the Lord already out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, in the front waitin' for me Arms open 'cause they know when I drop, alot of gon' stop See how the goverment will re-training cops 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced
Pops my moms, "Push and take deep breaths too Stay calm", holdin' her arm, I'm trying to on Surgical touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my first 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 me in her body She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the Y'all about to see this in trouble
