Not only this Smooth Jazz band shares same band name, they have a song called "Millenium"(2006) that is exactly same title (intentionally misspelled) as the other Incognito's (Jazz Funk) song on their album "100° and Rising"(1995), plus the logo resembles in font. The title "Every Day"(2006) on the album Street Smarts exactly alike in titles (when read) with the other Incognito's famous tune "Everyday"(1995). They are often tagged totec radio. Also mis-tagged by fans as bluey where there's no link to Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick himself. r00ts & t4lk1n l0ud tags also used, that could mislead fans to the Bluey's famous tunes like "Roots" & "Talkin' Loud".

Everything That We Are
Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are, we are
Everything that we heard
All the things that was said
Every song that gave us our own direction
That's who we are
We are, we are
Every step that we take
All the days of our lives
What we choose to keep inside our minds
That's who we are
(Incognito, Lucky)
With a transatlantic revolution standard
Stand for something or fall now get involved y'all
Write it on the wall get involved, problem solve and evolve on this third rock revolving round the sun
Every one it's our call to rise, realise, we arrived, we alive, life right before your eyes don't blink believe the lies, don't sleep they need disguises the weak they seem surprised so we just open eyes and believe and keep climbing
Stars begin aligning reminder to keep moving with the earth's minded
I'm sure you got beliefs but first consider peace
Next remember music is best when you release
Yup you got beliefs but first consider peace
Next remember music is best when you release your soul
The world needs to go to rehab, I see that
Plenty of problems, can't depend on Obama, we're either fighting for honour, religion or something the problem is fear, got to break that step back relay the facts, dust off the vinyl, and search through the 8 tracks sonic history no this ain't a mystery
Jimi, Marvin, Michael, yeah they all gave the gift to me, Lucky-Incognito bridge the gaps for you all to see, Seven seas Atlantic and we travelling eternally, Seven seas Atlantic and we travel to eternity
You got beliefs but first consider peace
Next remember music is best when you release
Yep you got beliefs but first consider peace
Next remember music is best when you release your soul
The lyrics to Incognito's song "Everything That We Are" speak to the idea that everything that makes us who we are is a culmination of our experiences, thoughts, and beliefs. The song opens up by saying that everything that we have heard, the things that have been said to us, and the music that has shaped us, make up who we are. Every step we take, and every day of our life, is what we choose to keep inside our minds, which in turn, makes us who we are. The line "with a transatlantic revolution standard" urges listeners to stand up for something or fall, and to get involved with solving problems and evolving on this earth we are revolving around the sun. The lyrics also allude to the need for peace first before beliefs, reminding listeners that music is often the best way to release the soul.
The bridge by Lucky and Incognito recalls the incredible musical minds that shaped a generation and all the music that has been passed down. They bridge gaps and travel through the Seven seas Atlantic, identifying with music's capacity to unite and travel eternally. The lyrics continue to assert that we must consider peace before our beliefs and keep pushing forward until we realize that everyone has arrived on this earth and that life is right in front of our eyes. The idea of breaking fear to get facts and discovering the truth is central to the song, and the solution is through music and believing that we can keep climbing.
