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
