Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hanging to low
Climb back up the rope
Them shadow follow you through
They can see your soul
Dreaming during the day
Awake at night
I'm I alive or ghost
Want me to take meds
Be careful on what u know
That money a lie to yo face
Changin yo mind
How you thinkin
I'm on the grind
U thinkin back to a dark place
I'm in a different time
Just living day by day
Praying for good ways
Prepare for harsh hate
All you see is money only thing on ya mind
Can't see wats coming greed got you going blind
Looking in the mirror like it's my time grind
I done been crossed over so many times
People did me wrong they done threw me in the dirt
Plenty of time I done asked for a shirt
Fourth and long you know I gotta convert
Friends ain't living like Ernie and bert
That money a lie to yo face
Changin yo mind
How you thinkin
I'm on the grind
U thinkin back to a dark place
I'm in a different time
Just living day by day
Praying for good ways
Prepare for harsh hate
Praying to god that he save my life
I'm just tired of living wrong I just wanna live right
Lonely hours couldn't sleep thru the night
Head on my shoulders too lose ain't tight
Long road I been feeling all alone
Rip white tee I just want some v-lone
See the fake friends lettem travel down the road
I'm just taking my time keep going case closed
That money a lie to yo face
Changin yo mind
How you thinkin
I'm on the grind
U thinkin back to a dark place
I'm in a different time
Just living day by day
Praying for good ways
Prepare for harsh hate
That money a lie to yo face
Changin yo mind
How you thinkin
I'm on the grind
U thinkin back to a dark place
I'm in a different time
Just living day by day
Praying for good ways
Prepare for harsh hate
You can have the money in the world
But I don't see a smile
Has your stomach curled
Bet you have a different dream now
Love being in the trenches trynna get out
When your at the very top it's hard to get Down
Always grind
You get so high
Then Gravity pulls to the ground
That money a lie to yo face
Changin yo mind
How you thinkin
I'm on the grind
U thinkin back to a dark place
I'm in a different time
Just living day by day
Praying for good ways
Prepare for harsh hate
Ight wait just hold up a minute
Just hold up a minute
Ight I'm back in it
Living life cause I won't live it again
Money changing you up
Switched like Ben ten
Monsters win again
I can be so fly
But wants I'm gone
I'll be above the sky's
So I spend money
But imma spend it right
Making moves imma pray to Christ
Been in my own lane all my life
How you gonna live without giving a fight
That money a lie to yo face
Changin yo mind
How you thinkin
I'm on the grind
U thinkin back to a dark place
I'm in a different time
Just living day by day
Praying for good ways
Prepare for harsh hate
The lyrics to "Day by Day" by Debija tackle issues surrounding money, success, and self-discovery. The first stanza sets an introspective tone for the song by questioning whether the singer is alive or a ghost. The imagery of shadows following a person around and being able to see into their soul creates a sense of vulnerability and inner turmoil.
The chorus serves as a reminder that money can be deceiving and that it can lead people astray from the things that matter most in life. The singer emphasizes the importance of living day by day and preparing for the challenges that lie ahead.
The second verse delves deeper into the consequences of focusing solely on money and greed. The singer reflects on being betrayed by friends and feeling alone on their journey. The line "always grind, you get so high, then gravity pulls to the ground" is a powerful metaphor for the fleeting nature of success and the need to stay grounded.
The final verse encourages listeners to live life to the fullest and to fight for what they believe in. The repeated line "that money a lie to yo face, changing yo mind" serves as a cautionary tale against the pitfalls of chasing after money and status.
Overall, "Day by Day" is a thought-provoking and motivational song that encourages listeners to stay true to themselves and their values.

Look at my folks
Observing the people around me
Hanging to low
Feeling down and depressed
Climb back up the rope
Trying to overcome my struggles
Them shadow follow you through
My problems and past experiences continue to haunt me
They can see your soul
Others can tell when I'm struggling and not myself
Dreaming during the day
Having aspirations and goals for the future
Awake at night
Insomnia and anxiety keep me up at night
I'm I alive or ghost
Questioning my place in the world and whether I'm living up to my full potential
Looking at dead walk
Observing those around me who are just going through the motions of life
Want me to take meds
Feeling pressure from others to medicate my problems away
Be careful on what u know
Being cautious about who I trust and the information I receive
That money a lie to yo face
Money doesn't bring happiness or solve all problems

Putting too much value on material possessions can lead to a change in priorities
How you thinkin

I'm on the grind

Anticipating and preparing for negativity and criticism
All you see is money only thing on ya mind

Feeling a sense of urgency to work hard and make the most of my time
I done been crossed over so many times
Having experienced betrayal and disappointment from others

Experiencing loneliness and insomnia
Head on my shoulders too lose ain't tight
Feeling directionless and uncertain
Long road I been feeling all alone
Feeling isolated and like the road to success is long and difficult
Rip white tee I just want some v-lone
Desiring to have something that represents individuality or uniqueness
See the fake friends lettem travel down the road
Recognizing and distancing oneself from fake or insincere people
I'm just taking my time keep going case closed
Being patient and taking things one step at a time
You can have the money in the world
Money does not equate to true happiness
But I don't see a smile
Money alone cannot buy happiness
Has your stomach curled
Feeling anxious or uneasy about something
Bet you have a different dream now
Realizing what truly matters and having different priorities
Love being in the trenches trynna get out
Enjoying the process of working hard toward goals
When your at the very top it's hard to get Down
Feeling pressure to maintain success and not wanting to lose it
Always grind
Continuously working hard and never giving up
You get so high
Attaining success and feeling accomplished
Then Gravity pulls to the ground
Feeling the weight of expectations and pressure
Ight wait just hold up a minute
Asking for a pause or break in the action
Just hold up a minute
Asking for time to think or process
Ight I'm back in it
Ready to re-engage in the task at hand
Living life cause I won't live it again
Making the most of every moment and opportunity
Money changing you up
Causing a shift in priorities and values
Switched like Ben ten
Feeling like a changed person
Monsters win again
Continuing to face and overcome fears and obstacles
I can be so fly
Feeling confident and successful
But wants I'm gone
Realizing that material possessions don't matter after death
I'll be above the sky's
Ascending to a higher spiritual realm after death
So I spend money
Using money for positive purposes and experiences
But imma spend it right
Being mindful and intentional with spending
Making moves imma pray to Christ
Seeking guidance and help from a higher power when making important decisions
Been in my own lane all my life
Having a unique path and journey that is not dictated by others
How you gonna live without giving a fight
Encouraging perseverance and determination in the face of challenges

Hard to be popular if they are not producing new songs. But many people can remember them from 90's.

Yes, I do have a couple of other songs by 100. debija on my channel. Check them out in my upload list. But all of them are in Latvian. Also you can find some more songs by 100. debija in Related Videos list and in video responses. And maybe in time I will upload more of them as it's my favorite Latvian dance act of all times. :)
