Y'see I... am
everyday people
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Y'see I... am
everyday people
Yeah yeah
Ah ah
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
forty ounce
Disrespecting my
black queen
Holding their crotches
and being obscene
At first I ignored them
'cos 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 'cos
of my hair-do
And the loud bright
colours that I wear
I was a target 'cos
I'm a fashion misfit
And the outfit that
I'm wearing brothers
dissing it
Well I stay calm
and pray the nigg*s
leave me be
But they're squeezing
parts of my
date's anatomy
Why, Lord, do brothers
have to drill me?
'Cos if I start to hit
this man they'll
have to kill me
Y'see I... am
everyday people
Yeah yeah yeah
Y'see I... am
everyday people
I told the nigg*s
please let us
pass, friend
I said please 'cos
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 nigg*s
and get stomped
by an African
Y'see I... am
everyday people
C'mon hey hey hey
C'mon
Y'see I... am
everyday people
Everyday everyday
Everyday c'mon
