Black Thought:

Knocked up 9 months ago

And what she finna have she don't know

She want neo-soul, this hip-hop is old

She don't want no rock-n-roll

She want platinum or ice or gold

She want a whole lotta somethin' to fold

If you a obstacle, she just drop ya cold

Cuz one monkey don't stop the show

Little mary is bad

In these streets she done ran

E'er since when the heat began

I told the girl, look here

Calm down I'ma hold your hand

To enable you to peep the plan

Cuz you is quick to learn

And we can make money to burn

If you allow me the latest game

I don't ask for much but enough room to spread my wings

And the world finna know my name

Cody Chesnutt:

I don't ask for much these days

And I don't bitch and whine if I don't get my way

I only wanna fertilize another behind my lover's back

I sit and watch it grow standin' where I'm at

Fertilize another behind my lover's back

And I'm keepin' my secrets mine

I push my seed in her push for life

It's gonna work because I'm pushin' it right

If mary drops my baby girl tonight

I would name her rock-n-roll

Black Thought:

Uh-huh

Cadillac need space to roam

Where we headin' for she don't know

We in the city where the pros shake rattle and roll

And I'm a God-dang rollin' stone

I don't beg, I can hold my own

I don't break, I can hold the chrome

And this weighin' a ton and I'm a son of a gun

My code name is the only one and black thought is bad

These streets he done ran e'er since when the game began

I never played the fool

Matta fact I be keepin' it cool

Since money been changing hands

And I'm left to shine, the legacy that I leave behind

Be the seed that'll keep the flame

I don't ask for much but enough room to spread these wings

And the world finna know my name

Cody Chesnutt:

I don't beg for no rich man

And I don't scream and kick when his shit don't fall in my hands, man

Cuz I know how to still

Fertilize another against my lover's will

I lick the opposition cuz she don't take no pill

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-no, dear

You'll be keepin' my legend alive

I push my seed in her push for life

It's gonna work because I'm pushin' it right

If mary drops my baby girl tonight

I would name her rock-n-roll

Oh, ooh, break it down, break it down

Break down beat

I push my seed somewhere deep in her chest

I push it naked cuz I've takin' my test

Deliverin' mary it don't matter the sex

I'm gon' name it rock-n-roll

I push my seed in my push for life

It's gonna work becuz I'm pushin it right

If mary drop my baby girl, tonight

I would name her rock-n-roll

I would name her rock-n-roll

I would name her rock-n-roll, yeah

I would name it rock-n-roll
