It was a stormy night

You know the kind where the lightnin' strike

And I was hangin' out with some my yatzhee friends

Ooh wee ooh wee ooh wee

The night was long the night went on

People coolin' out to the break of dawn

Incense was burnin' so I'm feelin' right aight

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

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 here

You just don't want to be down

I have a h*e 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 keeps 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

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

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

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 on and on

And on and on

My cypher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone

On and on

And on and on

My cypher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone

I go on on on on on

My cypher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone

On on on on on

My cypher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
