[00:03.000] I'd like to dedicate this to all of the Creator's righteous children
[00:07.000] I have some food in my bag for you
[00:10.000] Not that edible food, the food you eat?
[00:12.000] No. I have some food for thought
[00:15.000] Since knowledge is infinite
[00:17.000] It has infinitely fell on me, so um...
[00:22.000] It was a stormy night, you know the kind where the lightning strikes
[00:28.000] And I was hanging out with some of my artsy friends
[00:31.000] Ooh wee ooh wee ooh
[00:32.000] The night was long, the night went on
[00:35.000] People cooling out until the break of dawn
[00:37.000] Incense was burning so I'm feeling right, aight
[00:42.000] See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
[00:44.000] My Granny told me that when I was only a youth
[00:47.000] I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
[00:49.000] I don't waste my time trying to get what you got
[00:52.000] I work at pleasing me
[00:53.000] Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do
[00:57.000] My soul flies free like a willow tree
[01:00.000] Doo wee doo wee doo wee
[01:02.000] And if you don't want to be down with me
[01:05.000] Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree
[01:08.000] And if you don't want to be down with me
[01:10.000] Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree
[01:13.000] And if you don't want to be down with me
[01:15.000] Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree
[01:18.000] And if you don't want to be down, you just don't want to be down
[01:23.000] I have a hoe
[01:26.000] And I take it everywhere I go
[01:28.000] Cause I'm plantin' seeds so I reaps what I sow, ya know, ya know
[01:32.000] Oh, on and on, and on and on, my cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
[01:38.000] I can't control the soul flowing in me
[01:41.000] Ooh wee ooh wee
[01:43.000] See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
[01:45.000] My Granny told me that when I was only a youth
[01:48.000] I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
[01:50.000] I don't waste my time trying to get what ya got
[01:52.000] I work at pleasing me
[01:54.000] Cause I can't please you and that's why I do what I do
[01:57.000] My soul flies free like a willow tree
[02:00.000] Doo wee doo wee doo wee
[02:03.000] And if you don't want to be down with me
[02:05.000] Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree
[02:08.000] And if you don't want to be down with me
[02:10.000] Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree
[02:13.000] And if you don't want to be down with me
[02:16.000] Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree
[02:19.000] And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be down
[02:24.000] Oh my my my, oh my my my

[03:19.000] And if you don't want to be down with me, you just don't want to be down
[03:26.000] You just don't want to be down
[03:31.000] Oh, you just don't want to be down
[03:35.000] Down, down, down
[03:43.000] You just don't want to be down...
[03:55.000] Down, down, down, down, down, down
[04:01.000] Down, down, down, down, down, down
