   The Seed (2.0)

 

 

  作词：Antonious Bernard Thomas, Tarik Trotter

  

  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

  Ev'r 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 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 a world finna to know my name'

  

  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 roots 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

  

  Cadillac needs space to roam, where we headed 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 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, the mean streets he done ran

  Ev'r since when the game began I never played the fool

  Matter fact, I've been keepin 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 the world finna know my name

  

  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

  'Cuz I know how to steal, fertilize another against my lover's will

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

  No dear, you'll be keepin' 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

  

  Break it down, break it down, down for me

  

  I push my seed somewhere deep in her chest

  I push it naked 'cuz I've taken my test

  Deliver it, Mary, it don't matter the sex

  I'm gon 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 dropped 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
