THE ROOTS LYRICS - The Seed (2.0)

"The Seed (2.0)"

(feat. Cody Chesnutt)



[Verse 1: Black Thought]

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 lot of somethin' 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 the girl look here

Calm down I'm gonna hold your hand

To enable you to peep the plan

'cause 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



[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 keepin' my secrets mine



I push my seed in her bush for life

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

If Mary dropped 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 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

Metter of 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



[Verse 4: Cody Chesnutt]

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 still

Fertilize another against my lover's will

I lick the opposition cause she don't take no pill

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-no dear

You'll be keeping my legend alive



I push my seed in her bush for life

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

If Mary dropped my baby girl tonight

I would name her Rock'N'Roll

Oh-ooh break it down, break it down, break down beat



[break]

I push my seed somewhere deep in her chest

I push it naked 'cause I've taking my test

Deliver it Mary, it don't matter the sex

I'm gonna name it rock and roll

I push my seed in my bush 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 yeah

I would name it Rock-N-Roll
