Right about this time see we gon' get totally
By one called Arrested Development
Say, come up select it, easy
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 (I'm dating)
Investigation, maybe she was demonstrating
But nevertheless I was pleased (I was pleased)
My day was going great and my soul was at ease
Until a group of brothers started bugging out (bugging out)
Drinking the forty ounce, going the nigga route (the nigga route)
Disrespecting my black queen (black queen)
Holding their crotches and being obscene (obscene)
At first I ignored them 'cause, see, I know their type (I know their type)
They got drunk and got guns (hey) and they wanna fight (they wanna fight)
And they see a young couple having a time that's good (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 (oh)
I was a target 'cause I'm a fashion misfit (misfit)
And the outfit that I'm wearing, brothers dissing it
Well, I stay calm and pray the niggas leave me be
But they're squeezing parts of my date's anatomy (anatomy)
Why, Lord, do brothers have to drill me? (Drill me)
'Cause if I start to hit this man he'll have to kill me (ah), see
I am everyday people
Yeah, yeah, hey
You see, I am everyday people
Yeah, yeah, ah
I told the niggas, "please let us pass, friend" (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 then get stomped by an African
You see?
I am everyday people
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You see, I am everyday people
The moral of the story is
You better look very hard at who you step into
'Cause you might get killed, or shot, and it's not worth it
Africans need to be loving each other, and unite
