 Appletree lyrics
 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
