People Everyday (Metamorphosis Mix)

I am everyday people

I am everyday people

See I was resting at the park minding my own (My own)

Business as I kick up the treble tone (The treble tone)

On my radio tape player box, right (Box right)

Just loud enough so folks could hear it's hype, see?

Outta nowhere (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 (Brothers) started bugging out (Bugging out)

Drinking the 40 oz, going the **** route (The **** 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 and they wanna fight (They wanna fight)

And they see a young couple having a time that's good (Time that's good)

Now their egos wanna test a brother's manhood

So they came to test Speech cause of my hair-do (Dreadlocks)

And the loud bright colors that I wear (Boo)

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 **** 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 they'll have to kill me

You see I am everyday people

You see I am everyday people

I told the **** please let us pass, friend (Let us pass, friend)

I said please cause I don't like killing Africans

But he wouldn't stop (What?) and I ain't Ice Cube (Who?)

But I had to take the brother out for being rude (Hey)

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 never know who you steppin' to

You might be stabbed, shot, killed, or hurt

It's not even worth it

Hey, you know it, you know it, you know it, you know it, hit it!
