[00:02.04]I’d like to dedicate this to all of the Creator’s righteous children
[00:05.72]I have some food in my bag for you
[00:08.37]Not that edible food, the food you eat?
[00:10.28]No, I have some food for thought
[00:13.57]Since knowledge is infinite, it has infinitely fell on me
[00:20.69]It was a stormy night
[00:22.88]You know, the kind where the lightning strikes
[00:26.36]And I was hanging out with some of my artsy friends
[00:29.19]Ooh-wee-ooh-wee-ooh
[00:30.44]The night was long, the night went on
[00:32.93]People cooling out until the break of dawn
[00:35.82]Incense was burning, so I’m feeling right, alright
[00:40.28]See, I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
[00:43.17]My granny told me that when I was only a youth
[00:45.45]I don’t walk around tryna be what I’m not
[00:48.16]I don’t waste my time tryna get what you got
[00:50.65]I work at pleasing me, ’cause I can’t please you
[00:53.15]And that’s why I do what I do
[00:55.41]My soul flies free like a willow tree
[00:57.96]Doo-wee, doo-wee, doo-wee
[01:01.02]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
[01:03.08]You don’t wanna pick from my apple tree
[01:06.14]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
[01:08.19]Then you don’t wanna pick from my apple tree
[01:10.91]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
[01:13.25]Then you don’t wanna pick from my apple tree
[01:16.32]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
[01:18.32]You just don’t wanna be down
[01:21.37]I have a hoe, and I take it everywhere I go
[01:26.56]’Cause I’m plantin’ seeds, so I reap what I sow (you know?) You know?
[01:30.76]Oh, on and on, and on and on
[01:33.61]My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
[01:36.47]I can’t control the soul flowing in me
[01:39.32](Ooh-wee) ooh -wee
[01:40.99]See, I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
