[Intro]
Yeah, 99 apples in the basket, but no watermelon in sight
Let's go!
[Verse 1]
Steppin’ in the orchard, got my mind on the prize
Counting' all these apples, lookin' past the lies
Yellow, green, red, whole lotta choices
But when it comes to watermelons, I ain't got the noises they have
Nine-nine apples instead, steady on the battle we at shady lane
Sweet and crisp, yeah, they make me rattle and shake
But a watermelon ain't one, nah, that’s the fact if ya look
In this fruit game, I’m keeping' it intact no giant watermelon on my back
[Pre-Chorus]
Apple a day, keep the doctors away
Not lookin’ for that melon someday
No watermelons, just the fruit I play
99 apples, yeah, tha words i say
[Chorus]
99 apples, but a watermelon ain't one
Counting' all my blessings, having fun
Sweetness in the basket, shining in the sun
99 apples, but not watermelon
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Who needs watermelons when the apples won
Got variety, the flavors are all mine
Stayin’ true, keeping’ it real
In my world of fruit, I got the 99 appeal
[Verse 1]
Steppin’ in the orchard, got my mind on the prize
Counting' all these apples, lookin' past the lies
Yellow, green, red, whole lotta choices
But when it comes to watermelons, I ain't got the noises they have
Nine-nine apples instead, steady on the battle we at shady lane
Sweet and crisp, yeah, they make me rattle and shake
But a watermelon ain't one, nah, that’s the fact if ya look
In this fruit game, I’m keeping' it intact no giant watermelon on my back
[Chorus]
99 apples, but a watermelon ain't one
Counting' all my blessings, having fun
Sweetness in the basket, shining in the sun
99 apples, but not watermelon
[Outro]
Yeah, 99 apples, that’s my tune
No watermelon, but I’ll be back soon
Keep it fresh, keep it tight
Fruits of the day, 99
[Instrumental]
Yeah yeah
