Erykah Badu - Appletree lyrics

I'd like to dedicate this to all the children<br>I have some food in my bag for you<br>Not the edible food, the food you eat, no<br>Perhaps some food for thought<br>Since knowledge is infinite<br>It has infinitely fell on me, so um...<br><br>It was a stormy night, you know the kind where the lightnin' strike<br>And I was hangin' out with some my yatzhee friends<br>Ooh wee ooh wee ooh wee<br>The night was long, the night went on, people coolin' out until the<br>Break of dawn<br>Incense was burnin' so I'm feelin' right, aight<br><br>See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit<br>My ganny told me that when I was only a youth<br>I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not<br>I don't waste my time trying to get what you got<br>I work at pleasin' me<br>Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do<br>My soul flies free like a willow tree<br>Doo wee doo wee doo wee<br><br>And if you don't want to be down with me, then you don't want to pick<br>From my<br>Apple tree x3<br>And if you don't want to be down, you just don't want to be down<br><br>I have a hoe<br>And I take it everywhere I go<br>Cause I'm plantin' seeds so I reaps what I sow, ya know, ya know<br>On and on, and on and on my (? ) keep's movin' like a rollin' stone<br>I can't control the soul flowin' in me<br>Ooh wee ooh wee<br><br>See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit<br>My ganny told me that when I was only a youth<br>I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not<br>I don't waste my time trying to get what ya got<br>I work at pleasin' me<br>Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do<br>My soul flies free like a willow tree<br>Doo wee doo wee doo wee<br><br>And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from my<br>Apple tree x3<br>And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be down<br>Oh my my my my, oh my my my my, oh my my my my my my my<br><br>I picks my friends like I pick my fruit<br>My ganny told me that when I was only a youth<br>I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not<br>I don't waste my time trying to get what you got<br>I work at pleasin' me<br>Cause I can't please you, and thats why I do what I do<br>My soul flies free like a willow tree<br>Doo wee doo wee doo wee<br><br>And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from my<br>Apple tree<br>And if you don't want to be down with me, dum dum diddy<br>And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from my<br>Apple tree<br>And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be down<br>You just don't want to be down,<br>You just don't want to be down<br><br>Fade
