Ayy day pay day
Countin' a quarter million
I was a poor civilian
I used to stress about a bitch, now I ignore the feelings
Now I don't record the feelings (nah)
Now I'm gon' ball for healin' (woo)
Now I got money from floor to ceiling
She givin' that brain (ouu, brain)

Ayy, I book a resort I'm billin'
This ain't at all the Hilton (no, not at all)
And you don't want war, we ign'ant
And we resort to killin' (grrt)
Uh, ain't no superheroes
Bitch, we all the villains (man, we all the villains)
Man, fuck all the opinions (man, fuck all the opinions)

Brand new Gucci Star (brand new Gucci Star)
Had to go crash the ship (had to go crash the ship)

On some real classy shit (on some real what?)
Ayy, and we don't lack for shit
My shooters gon' blast for shit (grrt)
Uh, and she ain't gotta ask for dick

Ayy, I like a conceded bitch
She like that I'm arrogant (okay)
Uh, still on that trapper shit
Two blocks in the cabinets (bop bop)
Uh, got a bank account in my mattresses (okay)
So when I fuck my bitch it's a little more passionate (I love you)
Uh, I'm icin' her out, she icin' me out
Freeze taggin' shit (okay)
Uh, potato on a pistol, one shot go boom
Straight maxin' shit (boom-boom, grrt)

Countin' the price of a Lamb' (countin' the price of a Lamb')

Oh, you a stand up guy? (What?)
Well, pussy, you can die where you stand (bop-bop)
Better think twice, lil' man

Oh, you can't afford this? (No)

Uh, now I feel bad 'cause I was really plannin' on pipin' her down (damn)
You know these hoes is loose, damn, you gotta tighten up, man (damn, you gotta tighten up)

In Jaro-Ma's song Day after day, the lyrics contain a mix of Portuguese and Cape Verdean Creole. The lyrics speak of the struggles of life and the obstacles people face along their journey. Life is compared to a difficult avenue that needs to be traveled, filled with stones and obstacles, some people are free while others are trapped. Mothers, fathers, and children are mentioned, along with war, guerrillas, and terrorist acts. The song speaks of justice being blind and of the struggles of the working class and the wealthy. It also references police and the justice system segregating and punishing people every day, especially those who are hungry and homeless.
The chorus of the song talks about revenge and how the people who used to prey on the weak and helpless will one day face the consequences of their actions. The repeated line "es ta chupa nos sangue" (they're sucking our blood) refers to the exploitation of the weak and the oppressed by those in power. The song ends with a call for vengeance, emphasizing that one day revenge will come.
