| [Verse 1: Speech] See I was restin' at the park mindin' 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 datin' Investigation maybe she was demonstratin' But nevertheless I was pleased My day was goin' great and my soul was at ease Until a group of brothers started buggin' out Drinkin' the 40 oz, goin' the nigga route Disrespectin' my black queen Holdin' their crotches and bein' 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 (Boom!) I was a target 'cause I'm a fashion misfit And the outfit that I'm wearin' brothers dissin' it Well I stay calm and pray the niggas leave me be But they're squeezin' parts of my date's anatomy Why, Lord, do brothers have to drill me? 'Cause if I start to hit this man he'll have to kill me, see [Chorus: Arrested Development] I am everyday people You see, I am everyday people [Verse 2: Speech] I told the niggas please let us pass, friend I said please 'cause I don't like killin' 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 Actin' like a nigga and get stomped by an African You see [Chorus: Arrested Development] I am everyday people You see, I am everyday people [Outro: Speech] The moral of the story is You better look very hard at who you're steppin' to 'Cause you might get killed or shot and it's not worth it Africans need to be lovin' each other and unite |
