Just Another Day
Akwid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I started to pray, I hopped up in that Maybach
I know I said I wouldn't but sometimes a nigga gotta crossover like A.I
I crossover like Steph Curry, crossover like CP
But I will not crossover so niggas can buy the CD
This NWA ha, smokin' that Bombay, we stay high
Niggas is killin', we stay out the way
I think about the day I first met Dre
I stayed on some gangsta shit but still bump that (De La?)
Dippin' down Green Leaf, Cherry Six Tre (?)
I felt like I ain't need your love, wrote the song "Hittin' Switches", then I recorded the shit with Faith
I did the BET Awards with Mary J
I stayed on top of California like the bay niggas
Just the other day I
Seen another (?) that reminded me of Eazy
Just the other day I
Had a dream that I did some more G Shit with Nate Dogg
Shout-out to the (?)
Cause my niggas drivin' down with Chronic to LA
(?) Alize (?)
Cause a nigga wanna trip, got the thing on my (waist side?)
Shout to my niggas up in Wayside
Take these Amber Rose pictures, send up the way
I love my niggas, especially in the pen
I hold you down if I never see you again
I put that on my kids
I sweat them blood tears
I trade places with you, and do some of your years
I confronted my fears
I roll up a fat one and disappear on (?)
I wish you niggas was here and----
The lyrics to "Just Another Day" by Akwid reference the rapper's experiences growing up in Los Angeles with a focus on his involvement in the rap scene. Akwid references various other artists such as Eazy-E, Dre, Faith Evans, and Nate Dogg throughout the song, highlighting the influence they had on his own work. He also references the struggles of the gangster lifestyle, discussing how he and his crew stay out of trouble and are focused on staying high and living their lives.
One of the most interesting lines in the song is when Akwid references the hologram of Eazy-E, which was a controversial performance at the 2012 Coachella Music Festival. The hologram, created using advanced digital technology, was widely praised for its technical achievement but also sparked debate about the ethics of using dead celebrities in this way. Akwid's inclusion of this reference in his song shows how deeply the imagery of Eazy-E continues to resonate in the hip-hop community.

Just the other day, I saw a hologram of Eazy around my way
Recently, I saw a hologram of Eazy-E in my neighborhood and it reminded me of the good old days
I started to pray, I hopped up in that Maybach
I prayed for success and then got into my Maybach
I know I said I wouldn't but sometimes a n*gga gotta crossover like A.I
Although I promised not to cross over, sometimes I have to switch up my style like Allen Iverson
I crossover like Steph Curry, crossover like CP
Similar to Steph Curry and Chris Paul's crossovers, I change my approach in various situations
But I will not crossover so n*ggas can buy the CD
Although I am not opposed to changing my style, I won't do it just to sell records
This NWA ha, smokin' that Bombay, we stay high
My crew NWA still smokes Bombay Sapphire and stays elevated
N*ggas is killin', we stay out the way
There's violence in the streets, so we try to steer clear of trouble
I think about the day I first met Dre

I got my Aftermath Chain, I iced out the A
I received my Aftermath chain and put diamonds on the 'A'
I stayed on some gangsta sh*t but still bump that (De La?)

Dippin' down Green Leaf, Cherry Six Tre (?), I felt like I ain't need your love

Si tu kieres hacer cosas malas
Conmigo en mi cama solo llamame
Para que te de lo que kieres
Pero si tu kiers que te ruegue
No va suceder
Por que yo no le ruego a nadie
