Karaoké Appletree Erykah Badu

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

'Cos 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

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

I have a hoe and I take it everywhere I go

'Cos I'm plantin' seeds so

I reaps what I sow, 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

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

'Cos 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 you don't want to pick from my apple tree

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

Oh my my my oh my my my

Oh my my my

Ah

Oh my my my my my my my

Um

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

'Cos 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

You don't down di dee

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

Down

Down

Down

You just don't want to be down

Ohh

You just don't want to be down

Down, down, down down, down, down

Down, down, down down, down, down

Down, down

Do-o-own, to be down

Ooh oh no

Down, down, down

You just don't want to be
