Knocked up nine months ago And what she's fittin' to have she don't know She wants neo soul cause hip hop is old She don't want no rock 'n roll She want platinum, ice and gold She want a whole lot of somethin' to fold If you're an obstacle she'll just drop you cold Cause one monkey don't stop the show Little Mary's bad In these streets she done ran E'ry since when the heat began I told the girl look here Calm down I'm gonna hold your hand To enable you to keep the plan Because you're 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 to room to spread my wings And a world fittin' to know my name, just listen to me I don't ask, for much these days And I don't bitch and whine if I don't get my way I only want to fertilize another behind my lover's back I sit and watch it grow standin' where I'm at Fertilize another behind my lovers behind my lovers back And I'm keeping 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 Cadillac needs space to roam Where we headin' for she don't know We in the city where the pro shake rattle 'n 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 a 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 of fact I've been keeping it cool Since money been changin' 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 a world fittin' to know my name, now listen to me I don't beg from a 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 lovers will I lick the opposition cause she don't take no pill Oh you know the deal 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 drops my baby girl tonight I would name her rock 'n roll. Oh break it down, down for me I push my seed somewhere deep in her chest I push it naked cause I've takin' my test Deliverin' Mary it don't matter the sex I'm gonna name it rock 'n roll. I push my seed in her bush for life It's gonna work because I'm pushin' it right If Mary drops 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 I would name it rock 'n roll
