Do you know these lyrics?

If I have a song in my head or lyrics, I can usually type it into Google along with lyrics and find it in seconds, not this time. I was remembering working with a young guy, one of my first experiences of being a "boss". The lyrics to a song came to mind, something like this:
"Like an acorn to an old Oak tree, your shade don't hide no light from me."
I can't find it and I have no Idea who did it. It must have been popular in about 2000-2002.

Leech lyrics
Tell those stories to me I'm dying to hear the things you've done and seen
Farfetched as they may be
You strike a smile in me
Your stories ring of perjury
Construed with self empowering theme
Suckin' on my brain your the teacher I'm the student
Turning things around your story's not congruent
Tabloid decoys pitiful excuses
Turning things around You're turning things around
A manic stunning scene I'm taking notes your taking me away into your false reality
I know you comfort lies in lying to try to make your life make sense
But you're not making sense I'd say it aloud but I'm not aloud I see your head spin round and round
Broken record talk tonight skip that needle back and forth on your mind wearing out unconvincing lies
Like a seedling dropped from an old oak tree your shade don't hide no sun from me
Fake stories humor me It's graduation time I love you like a mother
