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 the 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 nigga 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 niggaz 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
[CHORUS:] I am everyday people (2x)
I told the niggaz please let us pass, friend I said please cause I don't like killing Africans but he wouldn't stop and I ain't Ice Cube 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 nigga and get stomped by an African
