DAY BY DAY
100. Debija Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at my folks
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
Looking at dead walk
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

Overall Meaning

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.

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

Wow very nice, love it! Really wasn't expecting the piano or the awesome middle part.

It could be something similar to 100.debija as well as sth different;) I like vocal in this song. Singer has a nice, a little bit sad and very melodical voice!!!!! Thank you for all propositions of Latvian music of 90's:)

Normunds

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. :)
