Another Day
Fat Joe Lyrics

Sometimes you have to take it a day at a time
Life can be tough, so we have to face it by taking it one day at a time.

Just another day livin' in the hood
Living in the hood is full of difficulties and danger, but we keep pushing through.

Just another day around the way
Every day is similar, just going through the motions of life.

Feelin' good today
Despite all the hardships, we feel good about getting through each day.

I hear the, but I'm here to stay
People may doubt us or try to bring us down, but we will persist and stay strong.

Didn't have to use the K today
We made it through the day without having to use a gun to protect ourselves in the violent hood.

In my hood everyday niggas get locked down
It's common to see people being arrested and locked up in our neighborhood.

Best friends hit on your girl and get 'em knocked down
Even trusted friends can be disloyal and betray us by pursuing our partners.

Teachers tell you quick, you niggas'll never be shit
The education system doesn't believe in us or provide the resources we need to succeed.

Dropped so much coke in the water, could make the sea sick
Drug dealing is rampant and drugs are contaminating our environment.

All I hear is sirens and sounds of guns blastin'
Violence is an everyday occurrence and gunshots and police sirens are heard all the time.

A little girl went missin' but ain't nobody askin'
Despite the danger and crime, society often ignores the plight of those most vulnerable, like missing children.

My nigga Lil Troy hit the bank said he need cash
People resort to criminal activities like bank robbery to get the money they need.

Seen him on the news I guess he forgot the ski mask
Even if people do commit crime, they need to be smart about it and protect themselves from getting caught.

Strippers and celebrities, Instagram's a lick
Instagram has become a platform for people to gain social and financial status, even strippers can make money from it.

Niggas ranti'n 'bout gay, 'cause ignorance is bliss
People still discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community out of ignorance and hate.

Shorty changin' food stamps just to get high
Some people resort to selling or trading government assistance for drugs.

Listenin' to Stevie, Ribbon in the Sky
Music can be an escape from the harsh realities of life, and Stevie Wonder's "Ribbon in the Sky" provides comfort and inspiration.

Homie reminiscin', I'm keepin' him in my prayers
Friends and loved ones who are struggling or in prison are never forgotten, and we pray for their well-being.

'Cause Joe crack cares, even if no one else cares
Even when no one else shows concern or support, Fat Joe cares for those around him and wants the best for them.

See me on the screen but I'm still the same G
Although he has achieved fame and success, Fat Joe remains true to himself and his origins.

They thought I'd never see outside of 5V
People doubted his abilities and thought he would never escape the confines of the projects (housing development).

Welcome home my nigga Joe Crack
Fat Joe is being welcomed back to the hood after his success and fame.

Bust a bottle of that black shit lets go
Let's celebrate with a bottle of expensive alcohol.

All the sixes we collect, bitches we could sex
Fat Joe has acquired wealth and women due to his criminal ventures.

Phone still tapped so it's best to send a text
He still has to be careful and cautious, since the police are still monitoring his communications.

Go and do a bid back home just like a king
Going to prison for a period of time is almost like a rite of passage for people in the hood, and it's necessary to establish one's reputation and respect.

Bucket full of crab, money bags that we seen
Their wealth allows them to enjoy luxury items like crab, and money bags are just a common sight to them now.

From Rikers to Fisher Isle, digits to digits pilin'
From prison to a wealthy island, their wealth is increasing and expanding.

I came from the mud, Def Jam the new plug
Despite his humble beginnings, his new connection with Def Jam has allowed him to reach new heights.

Five gold joints and still gets no love
Despite his wealth and success, he still faces discrimination and disrespect from those who don't respect his roots and background.

I walk the same block, rode the same trains
Despite his success and fame, he still remembers his struggles and origins in the hood and remains connected to it.

We fucked the same bitches, whipped the same cane
Despite some people rising above their origins, they still engage in the same dangerous and illegal activities as everyone else.
