People Everyday Songtext
von Arrested Development

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 a 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

I am everyday people, yeah
See I am everyday people, yeah

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
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

You see
I am everyday people, yeah
You see, I am everyday people
