Spoken word

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 weeon wee oooh
The night was long
the night went on
people coolin' out until
the break of dawn, incense was
burnin' so i'm feelin' right-ah'ight

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

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
