Translation of People Everyday by Arrested Development

From:

Hey
Alright
Hey
Come on

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

Check it out, let me hear you say
Ohoho (Ohoho!)
I say yeaheaheah (Yeaheaheah!)
I said ho (Ho!), yeah (Yeah!)
Ho (Yeah!), Ho (Yeah!), Ho (Yeah!), Ho (Yeah!)

I am everyday people, yeaheah, heyey
You see, I am everyday people, yeaheah, aha

See, I was resting at the park minding my own (My own)
Business as I kick up the treble tone (Treble zone)
On my radio tape player box, right (Box right)
Just loud enough so folks could hear it's hype, see

Outta nowhere comes the woman I'm dating (I date)
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 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 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)
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 (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 (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, yeah, yeah
You 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 (Who?)
But I had to take the brother out for being rude (Hey!)

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
Acting like a nigga and get stomped by an African
You see

I am everyday people, hey, hey
You see, I am everyday people

The moral of the story is
You never know you shouldn't step in
You might get stabbed, shot, killed or hurt
It's not even worth it!

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

I am everyday people, hey, hey
You see, I am everyday people

I am everyday people, hey, hey
You see, I am everyday people
