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



[CHORUS]
