The Seed
The Roots Cody Chestnutt Lyrics

Knocked up nine months ago
She became pregnant nine months ago

And what she's fittin' to have she don't know
She doesn't know what she's going to have

She wants neo soul cause hip hop is old
She desires neo soul as hip hop is not modern enough for her

She don't want no rock 'n roll
She doesn't want rock 'n roll

She want platinum, ice and gold
She wants wealthy possessions

She want a whole lot of somethin' to fold
She wants a substantial amount of cash

If you're an obstacle she'll just drop you cold
If you get in her way, she will remove you easily

Cause one monkey don't stop the show
One issue won't stop her progress

Little Mary's bad
Mary is tough

In these streets she done ran
She has been around in these streets

E'ry since when the heat began
Since things started to get intense

I told the girl look here
I said to her

Calm down I'm gonna hold your hand
I will comfort and support you

To enable you to keep the plan
So you can stick with the plan

Because you're quick to learn
You are easily able to learn

And we can make money to burn
We can make a lot of money

If you allow me the latest game
If you allow me to use the latest method

I don't ask for much but enough to room to spread my wings
I just need enough space to explore my opportunities

And a world fittin' to know my name, just listen to me
I want the world to recognize me, so listen to what I have to say

I don't ask, for much these days
I'm not asking for a lot currently

And I don't bitch and whine if I don't get my way
I don't complain or throw tantrums if I don't get what I want

I only want to fertilize another behind my lover's back
I only want to impregnate someone without my lover knowing

I sit and watch it grow standin' where I'm at
I watch the result of my action while staying put

Fertilize another behind my lovers behind my lovers back
Impregnate someone without my lover's knowledge

And I'm keeping my secrets mine
I will keep my secrets to myself

I push my seed in her bush for life
I will put my fertilizing sperm deep into her reproductive organ

It's gonna work because I'm pushin' it right
It will be successful as I am doing it correctly

If Mary dropped my baby girl tonight I would name her rock 'n roll
If a baby girl is born tonight, I would name her rock 'n roll

Cadillac needs space to roam
My Cadillac needs room to drive around

Where we headin' for she don't know
She doesn't know where we are going

We in the city where the pro shake rattle 'n roll
We are in a city where professional performers shake, rattle, and roll

And I'm a god dang rollin' stone
I'm a rolling stone

I don't beg I can hold my own
I don't beg as I can handle myself

I don't break I can hold a chrome
I don't break as I can handle a gun

And it's weighin' a ton and I'm a son of a gun
The gun is heavy and I am powerful

My code name is the only one
My code name is unique

And Black Thought is bad
Black Thought is amazing

These streets he done ran ever since when the game began
He has been moving around these streets since the game started

I never played the fool
I have never acted foolishly

Matter of fact I've been keeping it cool
I have been maintaining my composure

Since money been changin' hands
Since the circulation of money

And I'm left to shine, the legacy I leave behind be the seed that'll keep the flame
I will be remembered for the seed I leave behind that will keep my legacy alive

Oh break it down, down for me
Oh, explain it in more detail for me

I push my seed somewhere deep in her chest
I impregnate someone deep into their body

I push it naked cause I've takin' my test
I impregnate someone without any help as I have experience

Deliverin' Mary it don't matter the sex
It doesn't matter if the baby is delivered as a boy or girl to Mary

I'm gonna name it rock 'n roll.
I will name the baby 'rock 'n roll'

I push my seed in her bush for life
I impregnate someone for life

It's gonna work because I'm pushin' it right
It will be successful because I am doing it right

If Mary drops my baby girl tonight
If Mary gives birth to a 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 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
I would name it 'rock 'n roll'
