People Everyday (Unplugged)

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 **** 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
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

See i am everyday people
See i am everyday people

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 **** and get stomped by an african

You see i am everyday people
You see i am everyday people

The moral of the story is
You better look very **** who you step into
As you might get killed or shot and it's not worth
Africans need to be loving each other and you know
