The Roots Feat. Cody Chesnutt The Seed (2.0, Extended Radio Edit) lyrics

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
Ever 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

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

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 gaddang 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, ever 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 but 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

I don't beg from 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
No, dear
You'll be keeping 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
Break it down, break it down, down beat

I push my seed in my push for life
It's gonna work because 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
I would name it Rock-N-Roll
