Knocked up 9 months ago - And what she finn'a 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 and gold - She want a whole lot of somethin' to fold
- If you an obstacle she just drop ya' cold, 'cause one monkey don't stop the show,
Little Mary is bad, In these streets, she done ran, E'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
'cause you is quick to learn, and we can make money to burn, if you allow me the lay this game
I don't ask for much, but enough room to spread my wings, and the world finn'a know my name
~Rock'N'Roll Verse 1 (Cody Chesnutt)~

[main 2-chord riff, Am/Dm]
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 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, e'r since when the game began,
I never played the fool, matter'fact I be keepin' it cool, since money been changing hands,
And I'm le't 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 finn'a know my name
~Rock'N'Roll Verse 2 (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
~Rock'N'Roll Chorus (Cody Chesnutt)~
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'...

~Rock'N'Roll Chorus (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)
I push my seed in her 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
