Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time
For y'all have knocked her up
I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe
I was not offended
For I knew I had to rise above it all
Or drown in my own shit
[Outro]
Go on, maggot brain
Go on, maggot brain
Written by: Edward Hazel, George Clinton, Jr.
