ERYKAH BADU

ERYKAH BADU - Apple Tree (Live) lyrics

rate me

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 umm...

It was a stormy night

you know the kind where the lightning strike

and I was hangin' out wit some of my "artsy" friends

ooh wee ooh wee oooh

The night was long the night went on

people coolin' out until the break of dawn

incense was burnin' so I'm feelin right -- ah'ight

See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit

& Ganny told me that when I was only a youth

I don't go 'round trying to be what I'm not

I don't waste my time trying ta 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 do wee

And if you don't want to be down with me

You don't want to pick from my appletree

And if you don't want to be down with me

Then you don't want to pick from my appletree

And if you don't want to be down with me

Then you don't want to pick from my appletree

And if you don't want to be down with me

You just don't want to be down

I have a ho

and I take it everywhere I go

Cause I'm planting seeds

so I reaps What I sow -- ya know

Oh on & on & on & on

my cipher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone

I can't control the soul flowin' in me

ooh wee

See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit

& 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 ta 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 do wee

And if you don't want to be down with me,

You don't want to pick from my appletree [x3]

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 ahh

Oh my my my my my my my

Ohh

I picks my friends like I pick my fruit

& 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 ta 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 do wee

And if you don't want to be down with me

You don't want to pick from my appletree

And if you don't want to be down with me

You dum dum diddy

And if you don't want to be down with me

You don't want to pick from my appletree

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

Ohh 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 [x15]

wanna be down

no oh no

You just don't want to be down

no no no

You just don't want to be down
