AppleTree

It was a stormy night

You know, the kind where the lightning strikes

And I was hanging out with some of my artsy friends

Ooh wee ooh wee ooh

The night was long, the night went on

People cooling out until the break of dawn

Incense was burning so I'm feeling right, aight

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 you got

I work at pleasing 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

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

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 reaps what I sow ya know

Oh, on and on, and on and on

My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone

I can't control the soul flowing in me

ooh 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 you got

I work at pleasing 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

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

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

You just don't want to be down

You just don't want to be down

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 you got

I work at pleasing 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

You just don't want to be down

You just don't want to be down
