People Everyday (Metamorphosis Mix)

Yo, this is Headliner from the Arrested Development
And right now you're in the mist of a celebration
A celebration of life, death, and the struggle of our ancestors

Check it out, let me hear you say whoa (whoa)
Say yeah (yeah)
Say whoa (whoa), yeah (yeah)
Whoa (yeah), whoa (yeah), whoa (yeah), whoa (yeah)
Whoa (whoa), say yeah (yeah)
Say whoa (whoa), yeah (yeah)
Whoa (yeah), whoa (yeah), whoa (yeah), whoa (yeah)

I am everyday people (yeah, yeah)
You see, 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 its hype, see?
Outta nowhere (nowhere) comes a 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
Drinking the 40 ounce (the 40 ounce), going the nigga route (the nigga 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 (what?) And got guns (what?) And they wanna fight (they wanna fight)
And they see a young couple having a time that's good (time that's good)
And their egos wanna test a brother's manhood

So they came to test Speech 'cause of my hair-do (true that)
And the loud bright colors that I wear (bloom!)
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 niggas leave me be (ah-ha)
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, yeah
You see, I am everyday people

I told the niggas please let us pass, friend (let us pass, friend)
I said, "Please" 'cause I don't like killing Africans
But he wouldn't stop, and I ain't ice cool
But I had to take the brother out for being rude
And like I said before (said before) I was mad by then (I was mad by then)
It took three or four cops to pull me off of him (they pull me off of him)
But that's the story y'all (story y'all) of a black man (black man)
Acting like a nigga (nigga) and get stomped by an African

You see, I am everyday people (hey, hey, come on)
You see, I am everyday people
(Every day, every day, every day, come on)

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
