Nas Fetus (Bonus Track) Lyrics

Yeah, I want all my n____s to come on a journey with me
My name is Nas, and the year is 1973
Beginning of me, therefor I can see through my belly b___on window
who I am...

I existed in the womb, just like an abyss
came from behind the sun, my hands balled in a fist
punchin' my moms stomache, kickin' on her cervix
twitchin' cause I'm nervous, though my intended purpose
was to be borned to reign, not in scorned or vain
but to take on a name, that my pops chose for me
bloodstream full of indo, developing eyes
nine month process, infant size
a prophet in his early stages, mother in her early thirties
was married to pops wishin' what she carried would drop
I'm not worthy of coming from a woman so pure
Ann Jones
Flesh of her flesh, blood of her blood, her blood and bones
hearin' prayers, she askin' for my good health, that I become a man and learn to make a way for myself
nervous she was, and her paranoia got in my blood
mixed with marijuana from my daddy's genes
lotta screames I'm hearin', it's crazy, both parents are scrappin'
I'm not even a baby, a miscarage could happen

[scratch, from Nas - One Time 4 Your Mind]
I shot my way out my mom dukes (x4)
[/scratch]

They must wanna keep me, cause four months passed and I'm still alive
guess I got what you call Ill-Will to survive
when I look hard the lights is killin' my eyes
I know when moms layin' down, I get bored, start to get live
move side to side, hear loud music and vibe
all black babies are born with rhythm, thats no lie
soul to energize, mineralize food
flowin' through my mothers tube, I'm covered in this thick layer of lube
month two was the least most comfortable, my umbilicle cord choking me
but month three was closer see, thats when my pops took moms to see the doc in the clinic
but I saved, he changed his mind at the last minute
watchin' them yell, I heard my moms voice well
fear of fist fights, so terrified when we fell
while they broke 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 from my world is so large
couldn't wait to get out, and grow up and take charge
month five, month six went by
hopin' I'm born in July
but the lord already figured out a day and time
Sepetember 14th, 73'
get ready world, doctors in a front waiting for me
arms open, cause they know when I drop
a lot of s___s gonna stop
see how the government'll start retraining cops
month nine, I'm a week overdue
the labor induced
pops told my moms, "push and take deep breaths too,
stay calm"
holdin' her arm
I'm tryin' to hold on
surgical gloves touchin' my scalp, my heads pops out
everything is blury, my first breath screamed out
tears pourin' down my pops face, he so proud
wantin' to hold me but I was so b_____, they washed me off and he said, "at least that n____ ain't 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
ay yo I plan to overthrow the devil
yall about to see this world in trouble, mother f___ers
