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.

Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't handle this gray that has lately come my way, oh no
The way you are, easy come easy go
You want the best of both worlds, and I'm caught up in the middle with you
Love, love, love. Oh love / Love, love, love. Oh love
Make room for love / Room love,
Make room for love / Room love,
Half a love won't do for me
I'd rather you abandoned me
Cos you and me Can't truly be
Set me free or say this love will be
Exclusively for you and me
Goodbye my dream, what more can I do
Won't be treated this way It's a cruel game to play,
We've come so far, yes it hurts to let go
Can't have the best of both worlds, You've got to choose whose heart you're taking with you
When your eyes are closed and you take a chance you never know what'cha gonna get
A handful of diamonds or a handful of worthless stones
If you really want to know what true love's all about
Then open your eyes and let me show you the way
Let me show you the way
What'cha thinkin'?
When you're playin'
When you play the games you do
Are you truly
Believin'
That I could play this game with you
Half a love won't do for me
I'd rather you abandoned me
The first verse of the song talks about the singer feeling down and wanting the clouds to move away and make way for the sun to shine through. The second line explains that the gray around the singer is referring to their poor mental state. The third line describes the person they are involved with as fickle, indecisive, and wanting the best of both worlds, which leaves the singer stuck in the middle. The chorus emphasizes the theme of love and asks for more space for it. The repetition and emphasis of "Love, love, love," highlight the importance of love in the singer's life. The second verse sees the singer talking about how half-love is not enough for them and that they cannot continue sharing their affection with someone who does not feel the same way. The final part of the verse sees the singer announcing their departure and ending the relationship as it's not right to be played around with like a toy.
The bridge of the song tells listeners that one has to take chances in life to find true love. Sometimes, it may yield great results, while at other times, it may leave you with nothing but worthless stones. The bridge also suggests that the singer is willing to teach and guide the person they are involved in, in the right direction, and showcase what true love is all bout. The song makes a plea to choose the heart to take along, indicating that it's time to make a decision and put an end to the confusion.

Are you truly, Believin', That I could play this game with you
I'm asking you if you honestly believe I'm capable of playing your games. I'm not, and I shouldn't have to endure them either.
