Apple Tree |
I’d like to dedicate this to all the children |
I have some food in my bag for you |
Not the 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 yatzhee 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 picks my friends like I pick my fruit |
My 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 doo wee |
And if you don’t want to be down with me, then you don’t want to pick |
from my apple tree x3 |
And if you don’t want to be down, 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, ya know |
On and on, and on and on my (?) keep’s movin’like a rollin’stone |
I can’t control the soul flowin’in me ooh wee ooh wee |
See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit |
My 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 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 x3 |
And if you don’t want to be down with me, you just don’t want to be down |
Oh my my my my, oh my my my my, oh my my my my my my my |
I picks my friends like I pick my fruit |
My 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 thats 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 |
