Melting Pot (bonus Track) Lyrics - The Roots

[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 lotta somethin' to fold 

If you a obstacle she just drop ya cold 

Cuz one monkey don't stop the show 

Little Mary is bad 

In these streets she done ran 

E'er since when the heat began 

I told the girl look here 

Calm down I'ma hold your hand 

To enable you to peep the plan 

Cuz 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 push for life 

Its gonna work because I'm pushin' 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 headin 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 

Matta 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 

Cuz I know how to still 

Fertilize another against my lover's will 

I lick the opposition cuz 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 push for life 

Its gonna work because I'm pushin' it right 

If Mary drops 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 cuz I've takin my test 

Deliverin' Mary it don't matter the sex 

I'm gon' name it rock and roll 

I push my seed in my push for life 

It's gonna work becuz 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
