Fetus (Clean Version)

Fetus (Clean) - Nas

Yeah I want all my 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 from behind the sun 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 that my pops chose for me

Bloodstream full of indo developing eyes

Nine month process infant size

A prophet in his early stage

His mother in the early 30s

Was married to pops wishin'

What she carried would drop

I'm not worthy to come

From a women 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 from my daddy's genes

Lotta screams I'm hearin' it's crazy

Both parents is scrappin'

I'm not even a baby

A miscarriage can happen

I shot my way out my mom dukes

I shot my way out my mom dukes

I shot my way out my mom dukes

I shot my way out my mom dukes

They must wanna keep me

'Cause 4 months pass I'm still alive

Guess I got what they call a I'll Will to survive

When I look hard the lights is killin' my eyes

I know when moms is 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

That's no lie

Solar energize

Mineralize food flowin' 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

That's when pops took moms

To see the doc at the clinic

But I was saved

He changed his mind in the last minute

Watchin' '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 out

And grow up and take charge

Month 5 Month 6 went by

Hopin' 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 waitin' for me

Arms open 'cause they know when I drop

A lot of gon' 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 "Push and take deep breaths too

Stay calm" holdin' her arm I'm trying to hold on

Surgical gloves touching my scalp my head pops out

Everything is blurry my first breath screams out

Tears pouring down my pops face he's so proud

Wantin' to hold me but I was so bloody

They washed me off and he said

"At least 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 love me and yo I plan to overthrow the devil

Y'all about to see this world in trouble
