Appletree Lyrics - Baduizm - Erykah Badu

I'd like to dedicate this to all the children 

I have some food in my bag for you 

Not the edible food the food you eat no 

Perhaps some food for thought 

Since knowledge is infinite 

It has infinitely fell on me so um... 

It was a stormy night you know the kind where the lightnin' strike 

And I was hangin' out with some my artsy friends 

Ooh wee ooh wee ooh wee 

The night was long the night went on people coolin' out until the 

Break of dawn 

Incense was burnin' so I'm feelin' right, aight 

See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit 

My 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 to 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 doo wee 

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

From my 

Apple tree x3 

And if you don't want to be down, you just don't want to be down 

I have a hoe 

And I take it everywhere I go 

Cause I'm plantin' seeds so I reaps what I sow, ya know, ya know 

On and on, and on and on my cypher keep's movin' like a rollin' stone 

I can't control the soul flowin' in me 

Ooh wee ooh wee 

See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit 

My 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 to get what ya 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 doo wee 

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

My apple tree x3 

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

Down 

Oh my my my my, oh my my my my, oh my my my my my my my 

I picks my friends like I pick my fruit 

My 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 to 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 doo wee 

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

My apple tree 

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

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

My apple tree 

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 

You just don't want to be down
