Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 and roll
She want platinum, or ice and gold
She want a whole lot of something to fold
If you a obstacle she just drop ya cold
'Cause 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 her "Girl, look here
Calm down, I'ma hold your hand
To enable you to keep the plan
'Cause you is quick to learn
And we can make money to burn
If you allow me to lay this game"
I don't ask for much
But enough room to spread my wings
And the world finna know my name
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
Fertilize another behind my lover's back
I sit and watch it grow roots standin' where I'm at
Fertilize another behind my lover's back
And I'm keepin' my secrets mine
[Chorus]
I push my seed in her bush for life
It's gonna work because I'm pushing it right
If Mary dropped my baby girl tonight
I would name her Rock and Roll
[Verse 3]
Uh-huh
Cadillac need space to roam
Where we headed 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 it's 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
Matter fact, I been keeping it cool
Since money been changing hands
And I'm left to shine
The legacy 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
Now listen to me
[Verse 4]
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
'Cause I know how to steal
[PreChorus]
Fertilize another against my lover's will
I lick the opposition 'cause she don't take no pill
Ooh, ooh, ooh no, dear, you'll be keeping my legend alive
[Chorus]
I push my seed in her bush for life
It's gonna work because I'm pushing it right
If Mary dropped my baby girl tonight
I would name her Rock and Roll
Oh-ooh, break it down, break it down, break it down for me
[Chorus]
I push my seed somewhere deep in her chest
I push it naked 'cause I've taken my test
Deliver it Mary, it don't matter the sex
I'm gon' name it Rock and Roll
[Outro]
I push my seed in her bush for life
It's gonna work because I'm pushing it right
If Mary dropped my baby girl tonight
I would name her Rock and Roll
I would name her Rock and Roll
I would name her Rock and Roll, yeah
I would name it Rock and Roll
