The Roots - The Seed (2.0) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[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 something to fold
If you a obstacle she just drop you 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'mma 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 to lay this game"
I don't ask for much but enough room to spread my wings
And the world finna know my name

[Hook - 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 want to fertilize another behind my lover's back
I sit and watch it grow standing where I'm at
Fertilize another behind my lover's back
And I'm keeping my secrets mine
I push my seed in her bush for life
It's gonna work because I'm pushing it right
If Mary drops my baby girl tonight
I would name her "Rock n' Roll"

[Verse 2 - Black Thought]
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 god-dang rolling stone
I don't beg, I can hold my own
I don't break, I can hold the chrome
And this weighing 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 be keeping 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

[Hook #2 - Cody Chesnutt]
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
Cause I know how to steal
Fertilize another against my lover's will
I lick the opposition cause she don't take no pill
Oh, oh, oh no, dear
You'll be keeping my legend alive
I push my seed in her bush for life
Its gonna work because I'm pushing it right
If Mary drops my baby girl tonight
I would name her "Rock-n-roll"
Break it down, break it down, break down beat

I push my seed somewhere deep in her chest
I push it naked cause I've taken my test
Delivering Mary: it don't matter the sex -
I'm gonna name it "Rock-N-Roll"
I push my seed in my bush for life
It's gonna work because I'm pushing it right
If Mary drop my baby girl tonight
I would name her "Rock-n-roll"
