Erykah Badu - Appletree - live @ the jazz cafe lyrics

Appletree (Live At The Jazz Cafe) Appletree 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 artsy 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 CYPHER 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 Fade
