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.

It Ain't Easy
Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can talk for days
Learn about each other always
And though we walk for miles
And we talk for days
Sometimes we let pride get in our way
And I can't tell what's goin' on in your mind
It ain't easy
Getting it right
It ain't easy
Trying to read the signs
It ain't easy
Trying to work out what's going on in your mind
And though we live and learn
Love is give and take
We fall into confusion some days
Where there's fear and need
We keep it all inside
Sometimes we let pride get in our way
And for a while something is broken and missing
And I can't tell what's goin' on in your mind
It ain't easy
Getting it right
It ain't easy
Trying to read the signs
It ain't easy
Trying to work out what's going on in your mind
In the song "It Ain't Easy" by Incognito, the lyrics are focused on the difficulties of communication and the challenges of understanding each other fully in a relationship. The song emphasizes the importance of walking and talking with each other, which represents the willingness to make an effort to learn and understand each other.
The lyrics suggest that although it's important to communicate, it's not always easy to do so. Even when walking and talking for miles and days, pride can sometimes get in the way, leading to miscommunication, misunderstandings, and the feeling that something is broken or missing.
The song also points out that love is a give-and-take relationship that requires living and learning. However, there are moments of confusion, caused by the fear and need of keeping feelings inside due to pride. The confusion often leads to misunderstandings because both parties cannot interpret the signs or understand what is going on in their partner's mind fully. The song reminds us that getting relationships right and understanding what is going on in each other's minds is not easy. It's a challenge that takes patience and understanding, but ultimately, it's worth it.
