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, I have some food for thought
Since knowledge is infinite, it has infinitely fell on me
It was a stormy night
You know, the kind where the lightnin' strike
And I was hangin' out with some of my artsy friends
Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh
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 wanna be down with me
You don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
Then you don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
Then you don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You just don't wanna 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 keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
I can't control the soul flowin' in me, ooh wee, ooh wee
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 wanna be down with me
You don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You just don't wanna be down
Oh my my my
Oh my my my
Oh my my my, oh
Oh my my my my my my my, oh oh oh oh
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 wanna be down with me
You don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
Dum dum diddy
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You just don't wanna be down (you just don't want to be down)
You just don't wanna be down (you just don't want to be down)
Oh, you just don't wanna be down, down, down, down
You just don't wanna be down, oh
You just don't wanna be down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down
No, oh no, you just don't wanna be down
No no no, you just don't wanna be down
