Appletree Lyrics
[00:01.44] I'd like to dedicate this to all the creative, righteous children
[00:05.82] I have some food in my bag for you
[00:07.76] Not that edible food, the food you eat, no
[00:11.51] Perhaps some food for thought
[00:13.78] Since knowledge is infinite
[00:15.46] It has infinitely fell on me so um...
[00:19.88] It was a stormy night, you know, the kind where the lightnin' strike
[00:26.15] And I was hangin' out with some my artsy friends
[00:29.19] Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh wee
[00:30.53] The night was long, the night went on, people coolin' out until the
[00:34.05] Break of dawn
[00:36.17] Incense was burnin' so I'm feelin' right, aight
[00:40.32] See I pick my friends like I pick my fruit
[00:43.06] My Granny told me that when I was only a youth
[00:45.66] I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
[00:47.83] I don't waste my time trying to get what you got
[00:50.59] I work at pleasin' me
[00:51.24] 'Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do
[00:55.40] My soul flies free like a willow tree
[00:57.93] Doo wee, doo wee, doo wee
[01:00.94] And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from my
[01:04.49] Apple tree
[01:06.16] And if you don't want to be down with me, then you don't want to pick from my
[01:09.53] Apple tree
[01:11.23] And if you don't want to be down with me, then you don't want to pick from my
[01:14.89] Apple tree
[01:16.16] And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be down
[01:21.06] I have a hoe
[01:23.68] And I take it everywhere I go
[01:26.63] 'Cause I'm plantin' seeds so I reap what I sow, ya know, ya know
[01:30.82] On and on, and on and on, my cypher keep's movin' like a rollin' stone
[01:36.22] I can't control the soul flowin' in me
[01:39.64] Ooh wee, ooh wee, oh wee
[01:41.07] See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
[01:43.43] My Granny told me that when I was only a youth
[01:46.23] I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
[01:48.94] I don't waste my time trying to get what ya got
[01:51.12] I work at pleasin' me
[01:52.48] 'Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do
[01:56.23] My soul flies free like a willow tree
[01:58.83] Doo wee, doo wee, doo wee
[02:01.83] And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from
[02:05.39] My apple tree
[02:06.95] And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from
[02:10.40] My apple tree
[02:12.04] And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from
[02:15.49] My apple tree
[02:16.97] And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be
[02:20.38] Down
[02:22.49] Oh my my my, oh my my my, oh my my my, my my my my
[02:41.80] I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
[02:44.53] My Granny told me that when I was only a youth
[02:46.87] I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not

[02:51.97] I work at pleasin' me
[02:53.22] 'Cause I can't please you, and that's why I do what I do
[02:56.84] My soul flies free like a willow tree
[02:59.33] Doo wee, doo wee, doo wee
[03:02.38] And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from
[03:06.02] My apple tree
[03:07.26] And if you don't want to be down with me, dum dum diddy
[03:12.39] And if you don't want to be down with me, you don't want to pick from
[03:16.24] My apple tree
[03:17.79] And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be
[03:21.06] Down
[03:24.86] You just don't want to be down
[03:30.21] You just don't want to be down, down, down
