Erykah Badu - Appletree
I'd like to dedicate this
to all of the Creator's righteous children
I have some food in my bag for you
Not that edible food the food you eat
No I have some food for thought
Since knowledge is infinite
it has infinitely fell on me
So umm……
It was a stormy night
you know the kind
where the lightning strike
and I was hangin' out wit some
of my artsy friends
ooh wee ooh wee oooh
The night was long the night went on
people coolin' out until the break of dawn
incense was burnin' so I'm feelin right
ah'ight
See I picks my friends like
I pick my fruit
And Ganny told me that
when I was only a youth
I don't go 'round 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 do wee
And if you don't want
to be down with me
You don't want to pick
from my appletree
And if you don't want
to be down with me
Then you don't want to pick
from my appletree
And if you don't want
to be down with me
Then you don't want
to pick from my appletree
And if you don't want
to be down with me
You just don't want to be down
I have a ho
and I take it everywhere I go
Cause I'm planting seeds
so I reaps What I sow you know
you know
Oh on and on and on and on
my cipher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
I can't control the soul flowin' in me
ooh wee
See I picks my friends like
I pick my fruit
and Ganny 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 do wee
And if you don't want
to be down with me
You don't want to pick
from my appletree
And if you don't want
to be down with me
You don't want to pick from my appletree
And if you don't want
to be down with me
You don't want to pick from my appletree
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 ahh
Oh my my my my my my my
Ohh
I picks my friends like
I pick my fruit
and Ganny 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 do wee
And if you don't want
to be down with me
You don't want to pick
from my appletree
And if you don't want
to be down with me
You dum dum diddy
And if you don't want
to be down with me
You don't want to pick
from my appletree
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
Ohh you just don't want to be down
Down down down
You just don't want to be down
Ohh
