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 hairdo
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
i am everyday people
you see i am everyday people
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
i am everyday people
you see i am everyday people
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
