|
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 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 |
|
I am everyday people, yeah |
|
See I am everyday people, yeah |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
You see |
|
I am everyday people, yeah |
|
You see, I am everyday people |
