Fetus Lyrics

Yeah

 I want all my niggas to come journey with me

 My name is Nas, and the year is 1973

 Beginning of me, therefore I could see

 Through my belly button window who I am...

 

 I existed in a womb, just like an abyss

 Came straight from spirit land, my hands balled in a fist

 Punching on my moms stomach, kicking on her cervix

 Twitching cause I'm nervous

 Thought my intended purpose

 Was to be born to reign, not in scorn or vain

 But to take on a name, my pops chose for me

 Bloodstream full of indo

 Developing eyes looking out my belly button window

 My father's face wears a frown

 And I'm wondering if they even want me around

 Cause I'll go back to spirit town

 So I could rest longer before I come back down

 The chute again, in the near future when

 My moms and pops can agree on this

 Was here before but my moms saw her gynocologist

 He dumped me off, first they want me then turn around and they dont

 You got a 120 days do what you want

 But as for me coming back this be my last time

 Abort me, keep me, give me away, make up ya mind

 

 [Nas]

 I shot my way out my mom dukes

 

 I shot my way out my mom dukes

 

 They must wanna keep me, cause 4 months past and I'm still alive

 Guess I got what you call an ill-will to survive

 When I look hard the lights is killing my eyes

 I know when moms is laying down cause I get bored and start to get live

 Move side to side hear loud music and vibe

 All black babies are born with rhythm thats no lie

 Solar energize, mineralize food through my mothers tube

 I'm covered in this thick layer of goo

 Month two was the least most comfortable

 My umbilical cord choking me

 But month 3 was closer, see

 Thats when pops took moms to see the doc at the clinic

 But I was saved cause he changed his mind in the last minute

 Watching 'em yell, heard my moms voice well

 Feared fist fights, so terrified when we fell

 While they broke up furniture and smashed plates on the wall

 I wondered if I am born will I be safe at all

 This place they call the world though my view was so large

 Couldn't wait to get up, grow up and take charge

 Month 5, Month 6 went by, hoping I'm born in July

 But the Lord already figured out a date and time

 Septemeber 14th, 73

 Get ready world, doctors in the front waiting for me

 Arms open cause they know when I drop, alot of shit's gonna stop

 See how the goverment will start re-training cops

 Month 9, I'm a week over due, the labor induced

 Pops told my moms to push and take deep breaths too

 Said stay calm, holding her arm, I'm trying to hold on

 Surgical gloves touching my scalp, my head pops out

 Everything blurry, my first breath screams out

 Tears pouring down my pops face he's so proud

 Wanted to hold me, but I was so bloody

 They washed me off and he said "At least that nigga aint ugly!"

 Placed me in his arms snuggly, laid me on my mother

 Finally, I got to see who held me in her body

 She loved me,and I plan to over through the devil

 Y'all bout to see this world in trouble

 Motherfuckers...
