Be careful.
Not everyone you meet is good.
But there's a way you can tell
A way that always shows a person true
No matter how good they seem.
Apples grow from apple trees.
You'll never see an orange
Growing from an apple tree.
You know an apple tree
Because it has apples.
You know a good person
Because of the good that comes with them.
There ain't never gonna be a bad person
That has real good come with 'em.
No matter just how good
They say and seem.

So be careful.
I learned the hard way.
Learn now.
I don't want to see you here
On the streets
Like me.
