This isn't the Roots best song. It's one of the best songs in history. Their voices, the lyrics so smooth, so original. They go so HARD. You can't tell them nothing. Nor should you try. Listen to it today maybe fresher than 2003. LOVE LOVE.
I've been looking for this song for over 18 years! I didn't know the name or the style, but it never left my mind. Today I found it on my older brother's music CD!

This is how rap should be. Dude is genius, tells a story/makes a point, lyrics are intelligent, not just a bunch of nonsense garbage about ho's and cars and money.
When u don't own the rights your song can be put it in truck commercials. Even if u hate trucks. Ppl always wonder what's the point of owning your masters.
I was a kid and my sister knew how much I love this song so she used to request it for me through sms on what used to be pretty good music channel here in Romania. I still love this song decades later.
It's the Little Things! Authenticity will Always be Appreciated and Shared Somewhere, Sometime, and in this case. By Someone like You! Thanks for this 🤝✌️
Am I mistaken that there was a more uptempo version that was on Chasing Liberty? I can't find that version for anything. It's like it's been erased and replaced with this 2.0 version.
So I did some looking around on DiscOGs, maybe you are thinking of one of the house mixes or the BBC recording? search "The Roots - The Seed house mix" on youtube and it should have a few dif versions. I believe The Seed 1.0 is just the Cody ChesnuTT's version.
@@madmodder123 I finally found it on here, it's not really a remix but an uptempo version. It was the one featured on Chasing Liberty and I've been hooked on that vibe since. ruclips.net/video/nCVxD9QHfQY/видео.html
They lyrics are great! The music is great! The vocals are great! Musicians are special people who get your soul moving! If he did steal hey it is a song! I am a guitar player and this song is beautiful!!!!!!! ❤️🎸🎸🎸🎸☠️🎸☠️🎸

well said
👏 compliments for publishing the uncensored version! Art should never be censored!
I was, by the uploader
Thanks for this! The censored one takes away from the whole meaning!

Yo that’s awesome
@@its_ieshiawhite_and_co4596 I looked up The Roots Rock and Roll....
I was looking for it for 8 years. It was used in an Italian tv show I've watched as a child.
Such a good jam.
Miss the days when rappers had groups. The Roots are one of the greatest rap funk artists ever.
I have serious issues with fertility, never thought I would be a mother... BOTH of my children were created to this song😂😂😂 TRUE STORY🎉🎉🎉
This song takes me straight to Iraq. I probably haven’t heard this in 20 years. What a time and place to be alive.
[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 and 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, and these streets she done ran
Ever since when the heat began
I told her "Girl, look here, calm down, I'mma hold your hand
To enable you to peep the plan, cause you's quick to learn
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
[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 want to fertilize another behind my lover's back
I sit and watch it grow roots standing where I'm at
Fertilize another behind my lover's back
And I'm keeping my secrets mine
[Hook 1: Cody Chesnutt]
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"

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 rolling stone
I don't beg, I can hold my own
I don't break, I can hold the chrome
And it's 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 been keeping it cool
Since money been changing hands, and I'm left to shine
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, now listen to me
[Verse 4: 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
Ooh, ooh, ooh no, dear
You'll be keeping my legend alive
[Hook 1: Cody Chesnutt]
I push my seed in her 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"
Oh, break it down, break it down, down for me
[Hook 2: 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 gonna name it "Rock-N-Roll"
[Hook 1: Cody Chesnutt]
I push my seed in her 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"
I would name her "Rock-n-roll"
I would name her "Rock-n-roll", yeah
I would name it "Rock-n-roll"

Thanks Ivan! As a 71yo, i needed that...and like it. ❤

Cody Chestnutt on lead vocals, this is a GEM!!!!!
I was triggered by the official version. Appreciate you.
This still a banger this came out around my senior year 2003
This song is timeless. ♥️☮️
Fell in love with this song 20 years ago, while serving in the army. It brought back some awesome memories!
Where did the time go ?
@@mafia_dave32 it flowed like water...
I had forgotten how good this was (and still is…). I heard bits of it in a new GMC Truck commercial.
This is great. The riff speaks for itself.
saw them live recently, they killed it !
That's what brought Me here too. Always one of my favorites!
When u don't own the rights your song can be put it in truck commercials. Even if u hate trucks. Ppl always wonder what's the point of owning your masters.
It took me about 5 years to discover the name of this song (english is not my first language, and I was younger). Well, it was worth the search.
Love how it has rock and roll when is pure hip hop era
Heard this first in the 8th grade... 35 and still jamming
Nice tribute to The Funky Cold Medina, which is unironically related to the topic of this song.
This song is so clever. It's not about sex or anything, but the unwillingness of hip hop to mix with other music styles to create something new.
Best memories of first pregnancy. Super preggo with my first born jammin out at the Concord Pavilion. Hubby (then) and friends. Live these guys. Rad
this song is a masterpiece and it goes so hard
absolutely perfect. every single one of those guys put it together on this one
I was a kid and my sister knew how much I love this song so she used to request it for me through sms on what used to be pretty good music channel here in Romania. I still love this song decades later.

I love the music but not the message. Work hard don't steal.
@@quranyeshua The lines are describing the hip hop culture obsession with money and "bling."
Same here. The lyrics aren not that great sadly.
