my peach tree

i am pregnant with purpose
i am more than you see
if you don't like my peaches
don't shake my tree

i know folks will whisper
and villify me
but if you don't like my peaches
don't shake my tree

'cause i'm blessed, highly favoured
by Christ's blood i am free
if you don't like my peaches
don't shake my tree

so i walk with head high
like i own all that i see
and if you don't like my peaches
quit shaking my tree!
