I'd like to dedicate this to all of the Creator's righteous children
我要把这首献给所有的孩子
I have some food in my bag for you
我的包里有些食物要给你们
Not that edible food the food you eat
不是你们那种用来吃的食物
No I have some food for thought
这是一种精神上的食粮
Since knowledge is infinite
因为知识是无穷无尽的
It has infinitely fell on me so um
与我而言是无穷无尽的
It was a stormy night
那是个风雨交加的夜晚
You know the kind where the lightning strikes
你知道电闪雷鸣的地方
And I was hanging out with some of my artsy friends
我和我的益友们在一起
Ooh wee ooh wee ooh

The night was long the night went on
夜漫长 夜未央
People cooling out until the break of dawn
人们静静地等待着黎明
Incense was burning so I'm feeling right aight
熏香燃烧着 我感觉很好
See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
我像摘苹果一样挑朋友
My Granny told me that when I was only a youth
我奶奶从小就告诉过我
I don't walk around trying to be what I'm not
我不会忙忙碌碌 成为自己不愿意成为的那种人
I don't waste my time trying to get what you got
不想浪费时间只为你所谓的追求
I work at pleasing me
我只为取悦自己
Cause I can't please you
因为我不能够让你满意
And that's why I do what I do
这就是我这么做的原因
My soul flies free like a willow tree
我灵魂像杨柳一样摇摆
Doo wee doo wee doo wee

And if you don't want to be down with me
如果你不愿与我一起投入
Then you don't want to pick from my apple tree
那你就别奢望从我的苹果上攫取知识果实
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

You just don't want to be down
你不愿投入
I have a h*e
我带着一把锄头
And I take it everywhere I go
无论去哪里都拿着
Cause I'm plantin' seeds so I reaps what I sow
我收获我自己种的果实
Ya know ya know
你知道 你知道
Oh on and on and on and on
一次次 一次次
My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone
我的心像是顽石一般游荡
I can't control the soul flowing in me
我无法控制灵魂的摇摆
Ooh wee ooh wee
