Текст песни The Top of the Tree - Dr. AK Sterling

See, a brother like me is just trying to make it to the top of the tree
Cause I heard that's where the best apples be
But we, at times, tend to settle for less before reaching our destiny
But not me, anymore and for, I'm not gonna stop till she's next to me
I mean right next to me, and I heard, she at the top of the tree

Silly me, I suppose my standards were too low
But you know, upon reflection, I guess I was lazy and impatient
Picking up the apples that fell to the ground
I had quite the collection, ate and realized they were bitter

Looked up and saw something better
But was feeling myself and didn't feel like sweating her
Or exercising the effort it would take to get her
So I picked up another off the ground, brushed off the dirt and figured, this ain't gonna hurt

But what I found, was that I was wrong
Chasing a skirt, singing a sad song, led astray by a flirt
But what is it worth
And why do I keep picking the wrong ones

Perhaps cause they counterfeit like fake funds
Looks green, but ain't
So from them I'm gonna run, full speed
Then, jump off a rock, grab the first branch of the tree

Pull myself up, why
Cause I'm tired of being empty
And what do I see
A beautiful young apple shining at me, from the top of the tree

Now here I come, no more wasting time, got there and told her
That she's so very fine, and that I've got to have her
Basically, that she needs to be mine
She said, how do I know
And I said, who me
Cause pretty girl, I'm at the top of the tree
