Yeah, I want all my niggas to come journey me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 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 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 take on a name, that my pops for me Bloodstream full of indo, eyes month process, infant size
A prophet in his early stage, his mother in the 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she would drop I'm not worthy to come from a so pure, Ann Jones of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and bones Hearin' prayers, she askin' for my good I become a man and learn to make a way for myself Nervous she was, and her got in my blood Mixed with Marijuana my daddy's genes
Lotta screams I'm hearin', crazy Both parents is I'm not even a A can happen
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 keep me, 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, start to get Move side to side, hear loud and vibe All black are born with 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 least comfortable My umbilical choking me but month 3 was closer, see That's when took moms to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he changed his mind in the last 'em yell, heard my moms voice well Feared fist fights, so terrified we fell they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the wall I wondered if I am born, will I be at all
This place they call the though my view was so large Couldn't wait to get out, and up and take charge Month 5, Month 6 went by, hopin' I'm in July But the already figured out a date and time, Septemeber 14th, '73 Get ready world, in the front waitin' for me Arms open they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the goverment will start cops 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 touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my first breath out Tears pouring down my pops 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 snuggly, laid 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 world in trouble
