[00:01.77]I’d like to dedicate this to all the creative, righteous children
[00:06.06]I have some food in my bag for you
[00:08.48]Not that edible food, the food you eat, no, I have some food for thought
[00:13.88]Since knowledge is infinite, it has infinitely fell on me
[00:20.54]It was a stormy night
[00:23.11]You know, the kind where the lightnin’ strike
[00:26.33]And I was hangin’ out with some of my artsy friends
[00:29.30]Ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh
[00:30.62]The night was long, the night went on
[00:33.03]People coolin’ out until the break of dawn
[00:36.24]Incense was burnin’ so I’m feelin’ right
[00:39.24]Aight
[00:40.51]See, I pick my friends like I pick my fruit
[00:43.06]My Granny told me that when I was only a youth
[00:45.69]I don’t walk around trying to be what I’m not
[00:48.37]I don’t waste my time trying to get what you got
[00:50.49]I work at pleasin’ me ’cause I can’t please you
[00:53.18]And that’s why I do what I do
[00:55.85]My soul flies free like a willow tree
[00:58.29]Doo wee, doo wee, doo wee
[01:01.14]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
[01:03.33]You don’t wanna pick from my apple tree
[01:06.22]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
[01:08.49]Then you don’t wanna pick from my apple tree
[01:11.37]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
[01:13.24]Then you don’t wanna pick from my apple tree
[01:16.26]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
[01:18.46]You just don’t wanna be down
[01:21.34]I have a hoe and I take it everywhere I go
[01:26.40]’Cause I’m plantin’ seeds so I reap what I sow (ya know) ya know
[01:30.76]On and on, and on and on, my cypher keeps movin’ like a rollin’ stone
[01:36.11]I can’t control the soul flowin’ in me, ooh wee, ooh wee
[01:41.27]See I pick my friends like I pick my fruit
[01:43.94]My Granny told me that when I was only a youth
[01:46.38]I don’t walk around trying to be what I’m not
[01:48.81]I don’t waste my time trying to get what you got
[01:51.24]I work at pleasin’ me ’cause I can’t please you
[01:53.82]And that’s why I do what I do
[01:56.52]My soul flies free like a willow tree
[01:58.97]Doo wee, doo wee, doo wee
[02:01.96]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
[02:04.15]You don’t wanna pick from my apple tree
[02:06.81]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
[02:08.97]You don’t wanna pick from my apple tree
[02:11.92]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
[02:14.40]You don’t wanna pick from my apple tree
[02:17.04]And if you don’t wanna be down with me
