Apple Tree (Live|Explicit)

Appletree (Live|Explicit) - Erykah Badu

It was a stormy night

You know the kind where the lightning strike

And I was hanging out with some my Yates friends

Ooh wee ooh wee ooh wee

The night was long the night went on

People cooling out to the break of dawn

Incense was burning so I'm feeling right alight

See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit

My granny 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 pleasing me cause I can't please you

And that's why I do what I do

My soul flies free like a willow tree

Do wee do wee do wee

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

Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree

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

Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree

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

Then 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

I have a hoe and I take it everywhere I go

Cause I'm planting seeds so I reaps

What I sow you know you know

On and on and on and on

My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone

I can't control the soul flowing in me

Ooh wee

See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit

My gunny told me that when I was only a youth

I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not

Can't stand a mutherf**ker trying to get what I got

I work at pleasing me cause I can't please you

And that's why I do what I do

My soul flies free like a willow tree

Do wee

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

Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree

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

You don't want daddy

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

Oh my my my oh my my my

Oh my my my oh my my my

Oh my my my oh my my my

Oh my my my my my my

My my my my my my my my my

Oh on and on and on and on

My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone

On and on and on and on

My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone

I go on on on on on

My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone

On on on on on

My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone
