People Everyday

See I was resting at the park minding my own

Business as I kick up the treble tone

On my radio tape player box, right

Just loud enough so folks could hear it's hype, see?

Outta nowhere comes a woman I'm dating

Investigation maybe she was demonstrating

But nevertheless I was pleased

My day was going great and my soul was at ease

Until a group of brothers started bugging out

Drinking the 40 oz, going the ***** route

Disrespecting my black queen

Holding their crotches and being obscene

At first I ignored them 'cause see I know their type

They got drunk and got guns and they wanna fight

And they see a young couple having a time that's good

And their egos wanna test a brother's manhood

So they came to test Speech cause of my hair-do

And the loud bright colors that I wear [Boo !]

I was a target 'cause I'm a fashion misfit

And the outfit that I'm wearing brothers dissing it

Well I stay calm and pray the ****** leave me be

But they're squeezing parts of my date's anatomy

Why, Lord, do brothers have to drill me?

'Cause if I start to hit this man they'll have to kill me

I am everyday people, yeah

See I am everyday people, yeah

I told the ****** please let us pass, friend

I said please 'cause I don't like killing Africans

But he wouldn't stop and I ain't

But I had to take the brother out for being rude

And like I said before I was mad by then

It took three or four cops to pull me off of him

But that's the story y'all of a black man

Acting like a ***** and get stomped by an African

You see

I am everyday people, yeah

You see, I am everyday people
