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]
