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]
