Lyrics
I'd like to dedicate this to all the creative, righteous children I have some food in my bag for you Not that edible food, the food you eat, no Perhaps some food for thought Since knowledge is infinite It has infinitely fell on me so um... It was a stormy night, you know, the kind where the lightnin' strike And I was hangin' out with some my artsy friends Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh wee The night was long, the night went on, people coolin' out until the Break of dawn Incense was burnin' so I'm feelin' right, aight See I pick my friends like I pick my fruit My Granny told me that when I was only a youth I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not I don't waste my time trying to get what you got I work at pleasin' me 'Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do My soul flies free like a willow tree Doo wee, doo wee, doo wee And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from my Apple tree And if you don't want to be down with me, then you don't want to pick from my Apple tree And if you don't want to be down with me, then you don't want to pick from my Apple tree And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be down I have a hoe And I take it everywhere I go 'Cause I'm plantin' seeds so I reap what I sow, ya know, ya know On and on, and on and on, my cypher keep's movin' like a rollin' stone I can't control the soul flowin' in me Ooh wee, ooh wee, oh wee See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit My Granny told me that when I was only a youth I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not I don't waste my time trying to get what ya got I work at pleasin' me 'Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do My soul flies free like a willow tree Doo wee, doo wee, doo wee And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from My apple tree And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from My apple tree And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from My apple tree And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be Down Oh my my my, oh my my my, oh my my my, my my my my I picks my friends like I pick my fruit My Granny told me that when I was only a youth I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not I don't waste my time trying to get what you got I work at pleasin' me 'Cause I can't please you, and that's why I do what I do My soul flies free like a willow tree Doo wee, doo wee, doo wee And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from My apple tree And if you don't want to be down with me, dum dum diddy And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from My apple tree And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be Down You just don't want to be down You just don't want to be down, down, down You just don't want to be down You just don't want to be down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down...
