[Verse 1: Black Thought]

Knocked up 9 months ago

And what she finna have, she don't know

She want Neo-Soul, 'cause Hip-Hop is old

She don't want no Rock-N-Roll

She want platinum or ice and gold

She want a whole lot of something to fold

If you a obstacle, she'd just drop you cold

'Cause one monkey don't stop the show

And 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 peep the plan, 'cause you's 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: 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 keeping my secrets mine


[Chorus: Cody ChesnuTT]

I push my seed in her bush for life

It's gonna work because I'm pushing it right

If Mary drops my baby girl tonight

I would name her "Rock-N-Roll"


[Verse 3: Black Thought]

Uh-huh, Cadillac need space to roam

Where we heading for, she don't know

We in the city where the pros shake, rattle, and roll

And I'm a gad-dang rolling stone

I don't beg, I can hold my own

I don't break, I can hold the chrome

And it's weighing 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 of 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: Cody ChesnuTT]

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

'Cause I know how to steal

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: Cody ChesnuTT]

I push my seed in her bush for life

It's gonna work because I'm pushing it right

If Mary drop my baby girl tonight

I would name her "Rock-N-Roll"

Ohh, break it down, break it down

Down for me


[Bridge: Cody ChesnuTT]

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-N-Roll"


[Chorus: Cody ChesnuTT]

I push my seed in her bush for life

It's gonna work because I'm pushing 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"
