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 um

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

You just don't want to be down

I have a h*e

And I take it everywhere I go

Cause I'm plantin' seeds so I reaps what I sow

Ya know 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 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 ya 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

Oh my my my oh my my my

Oh my my my ah

Oh my my my my my my my

Oh 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 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

Oh you just don't want to be down

You just don't want to be down

Down down down

You just don't want to be down

You just don't want to be down

Down down down down down down

Down down down down down down
