Erykah Badu

Id like to dedicate this to all of the Creators 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 Im feelin right -- ahight
See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
& Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I dont go round trying to be what Im not
I dont waste my time trying ta get what you got
I work at pleasin me cause I cant please you
and thats why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee do wee
And if you dont want to be down with me
You dont want to pick from my appletree
And if you dont want to be down with me
Then you dont want to pick from my appletree
And if you dont want to be down with me
Then you dont want to pick from my appletree
And if you dont want to be down with me
You just dont want to be down
I have a ho
and I take it everywhere I go
Cause Im planting seeds
so I reaps What I sow -- ya know
Oh on & on & on & on
my cipher keeps movin like a rollin stone
I cant 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 dont walk around trying to be what Im not
I dont waste my time trying ta get what you got
I work at pleasin me cause I cant please you
and thats why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee do wee
And if you dont want to be down with me,
You dont want to pick from my appletree [x3]
And if you dont want to be down with me
You just dont 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 dont walk around trying to be what Im not
I dont waste my time trying ta get what you got
I work at pleasin me cause I cant please you
and thats why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee do wee
And if you dont want to be down with me
You dont want to pick from my appletree
And if you dont want to be down with me
You dum dum diddy
And if you dont want to be down with me
You dont want to pick from my appletree
And if you dont want to be down with me
You just dont want to be down
You just dont want to be down
Ohh you just dont want to be down
Down, down, down
You just dont want to be down
Ohh
You just dont want to be down
down [x15]
wanna be down
no oh no
You just dont want to be down
no no no
You just dont want to be down
