And if you don't want to be down
What I sow, ya know, ya know
'Cause I'm plantin' seeds so I reaps
Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree
On and on, and on and on
My soul flies free like a willow tree
And if you don't want to be down with me
Doo wee, doo wee doo wee
Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree
And if you don't want to be down with me
See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
And if you don't want to be down with me
My ganny told me that when I was only a youth
Doo, wee
Oh, my, my, my, oh, my, my, my
I work at pleasin' me' 'cause I can't please you
Ooh, wee, ooh, wee, ooh, wee
You don't want daddy
And if you don't want to be down with me
I don't waste my time trying to get what you got
Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree
My cypher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
I have a hoe and I take it everywhere I go
I work at pleasin' me 'cause I can't please you
And if you don't want to be down with me
On and on, and on and on
People coolin' out to the break of dawn
See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
Ooh, wee, ooh, wee
My cypher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
My ganny told me that when I was only a youth
And that's why I do what I do
And that's why I do what I do
I can't control the soul flowin' in me
My cypher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
The night was long the night went on
I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
You just don't want to be down
And if you don't want to be down with me
Oh, on and on, and on and on
Oh, my, my, my, oh, my, my, my
On, on, on, on, on
Can't stand a mutherfucker trying to get what I got
And if you don't want to be down here
My soul flies free like a willow tree
You just don't want to be down
And I was hangin' out with some my yatzhee friends
My cypher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
Incense was burnin' so I'm feelin' right, aight
You don't want to pick from my apple tree
Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree
I go on, on, on, on, on
