Appletree - Erykah Badu [Baduizm, 1997년]

2017.04.02 (일)

어제 오늘은 아마 성묘하러 다녀오는 분들 많으셨을 것같은데요.
4월 5일이 한식이죠? 그 날 당일의 상황이 어떨지 모르니까
며칠 앞당겨서 조상들 찾아뵙고 둘러보고 오셨을텐데요.

절기에 맞춰서 성묘하고 이러는 거는 진짜 어른들의 모습이죠?
나이가 20살이 넘었다고 전부 다 어른이 되는 게 아니예요.
이렇게 두루두루 집안에서 해야 할 큰 일들을 챙기면서 사는 게
진짜 어른이 아닐까 싶습니다.
그런 의미에서 보면 저는 아직 한참 더 배울 게 많은 애들이구요.흐흐
제 스스로 애들이라고 하니까 여기저기서 야유하는 소리가 들립니다.
아무튼 아직 철이 덜 들어서요.

다들 수고하셨구요. 일요일 오늘도 좋은 꿈꾸면서 숙면하시기 바랍니다.
이제 끝 곡으로 Erykah Badu 의 'Appletree' 들으면서 마무리할게요.
지금까지 저는 별밤지기 강타였습니다.

내일 봐요.

Appletree

I'd like to dedicate this to all of the Creator's righteous children.
I have some food in my bag for you.
Not that edible food -- the food you eat?
No. I have some food for thought.
Since knowledge is infinite it has infinitely fell on me.
So umm...

It was a stormy night
you know the kind where the lightning strike
and I was hangin' out wit some of my "artsy" friends
ooh wee ooh 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
& Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don't go 'round trying to be what I'm not
I don't waste my time trying ta 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 do wee

And if you don't want to be down with me
You don't want to pick from my appletree
And if you don't want to be down with me
Then you don't want to pick from my appletree
And if you don't want to be down with me
Then you don't want to pick from my appletree
And if you don't want to be down with me
You just don't want to be down

I have a ho
and I take it everywhere I go
Cause I'm planting seeds
so I reaps What I sow -- ya know
Oh on & on & on & on
my cipher keeps movin' like a rollin' stone
I can't control the soul flowin' in me
ooh wee

See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
& 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 ta 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 do wee

And if you don't want to be down with me,
You don't want to pick from my appletree [x3]
And if you don't want to be down with me
You just don't want to be down

Oh my my my
Oh my my my
Oh my my my ahh
Oh my my my my my my my
Ohh
I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
& 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 ta 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 do wee

And if you don't want to be down with me
You don't want to pick from my appletree
And if you don't want to be down with me
You dum dum diddy
And if you don't want to be down with me
You don't want to pick from my appletree
And if you don't want to be down with me
You just don't want to be down
You just don't want to be down
Ohh you just don't want to be down
Down, down, down
You just don't want to be down
Ohh
You just don't want to be down
down [x15]
wanna be down
no oh no
You just don't want to be down
no no no
You just don't want to be down
