Yeah, I want all my niggas to come with me My is Nas, and the year is 1973 Beginning of me, I could see my belly button window, who I am
I in a womb, just like an Abyss from behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist Punching on my moms stomach, kicking on her Twitching 'cause I'm nervous, thought my purpose Was to be to reign, not in scorn or vain But to take on a name, my pops chose for me full of indo, developing eyes Nine month process, infant
A prophet in his stage, his mother in the early 30s Was married to pops wishin' what she carried drop I'm not worthy to come from a women so pure, Ann Flesh of her flesh, 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 paranoia got in my Mixed Marijuana from my daddy's genes
screams I'm hearin', it's crazy Both parents is I'm not a baby A can happen
I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes I shot my way out my mom I my way out my mom dukes
Yo, they must wanna keep me, 'cause 4 months pass, I'm still Guess I got they call a Ill Will to survive I look hard the lights is killin' my eyes I know when is layin' down, I get bored, start to get live Move to side, hear loud music and vibe All black babies are born rhythm, that's no lie energize, mineralize food flowin' through my mothers tube I'm in this thick layer of goo
Month two was the least most My umbilical cord choking me but 3 was closer, see That's pops took moms to see the doc at the clinic But I was saved, he changed his in the last minute Watchin' 'em yell, heard my voice well fist fights, so terrified when we fell While they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the I wondered if I am born, will I be at all
This place they the world 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, doctors in the waitin' for me Arms 'cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's gon' stop See how the will start re-training cops Month 9, I'm a over due, the labor induced
told my moms, "Push and take deep breaths too Stay calm", her arm, I'm trying to hold on gloves touching my scalp, my head pops out Everything is blurry, my breath screams out Tears pouring down my pops face so proud to hold me, but I was so bloody They me off and he said, "At least that nigga ain't ugly" Placed me in his snuggly, laid me on my mother
Finally, I got to see who held me in her She love me, and yo I plan to overthrow the Y'all to see this world in trouble
