People Everyday

People Everyday was released in July 1992 as the second single from the debut. It keeps the chorus and structure of Sly and the Family Stone's 1969 Everyday People and adds new verses by Speech, with Dionne Farris singing additional lyrics. It reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the UK Singles Chart, the group's biggest British hit, and went gold in the United States, Australia and New Zealand.

Speech said the version on the album was a first take, and that the hit was a remix he made when it became a single, because he wanted a more melodic, sing-song delivery. He sampled Bob James's Tappan Zee for the groove. The words came from his years in Milwaukee, where he felt people held a narrow idea of black culture and mocked his dreadlocks and braids. The story it tells is of a day in the park that turns violent, and it ends with a plea for respect. NME placed it at number 38 among the singles of 1992.
