“See, I pick my friends like I pick my fruit And 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 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 wanna be down with me You don't wanna pick from my apple tree.” Appletree - Erykah Badu, 1997
