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]
