Musiq:
I am everyday people
I am everyday people
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 ounce, going the n***a route
Disrespecting my black queen
Holding their crotches and being obscene
At first, I ignored them, 'cause, see, I know the type
They got drunk, they got guns, and yeah, they wanna fight
And they see a young couple having a time that's good
So their egos wanna test a brother's manhood
So they came to test '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 brothers 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 k** me
I am everyday people
I am everyday people
I told the n***as, please, let us pa**, friend
I said, please, 'cause I don't like k**ing 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
And that's the story, y'all, about a black man
Acting like a brother and getting stomped by an African
I am everyday people
I am everyday people
Come on
Estelle:
See the moral of the story is
Everybody needs to change their way of thinking
Being ignorant never got nobody nowhere
It's not even worth it
You know, you know, you know, you know
Hit it
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I
I am everyday people
I am everyday people
Ah, ah, oh I
Ah, ah, oh I
Ah, ah, oh I
