[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

[02:56.84]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

[03:17.79]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
[03:40.59]You just don't want to be down
[03:51.28]You just don't want to be down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down...
