It was a stormy night
You know the kind where the lightning strike
And I was hanging out with some my London friends
Ooh wee ooh wee ooh
The night was long, the night went on, people cooling out until the break of dawn
Incense was burning so I'm feeling right, alright
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
Doo wee doo wee doo wee
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You just don't wanna be down
I have a hoe
And I take it everywhere I go
'Cause I'm planting seeds so I reap what I sow, you know, you know
Oh, on and on, and on and on
My cypher 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 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 ya 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 we
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
Ya dum dum ditty
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You don't wanna pick from my apple tree
And if you don't wanna be down with me
You just don't wanna 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 my my my my
Oh, on and on, and on and on
My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
Oh, on, ha, on, on, on
My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
Down, down
My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
Down, down, down
My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
Down, down, da-down
