Another Day
Project A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uninviting, the looks on the faces
Sir, do you have the time?
In the city I'm sighing at buildings
Such a fine mess inside where they pull strings
You rise up to stand in line
It seems we've found a way
And all the while the hours slip away
And there it goes, just another day
In the morning I'm staring at gray skies
There's a baby who slept while her mom cried
It's such a small mouth to feed
Why don't she have nothing to eat?
In the evening I'm dreaming of nations
Done with financing military stations
One word could fill those needs
It's called peace
There it goes, just another day
One more day
There it goes, just another day
One more day
One more day that we could change
One more day
One more day to rearrange
But there it goes, just another day
We want to win
But these streets were paved with the blood of our sins
The business man grins, looks around
He sees buildings all around now (on the ground now)
And a hand outstretched for change
And though it may soon start to rain
There is still a face that asks me to try
While the baby cries, the mother simply sighs
If change is on its way, what's the problem with today?
The lyrics of Project A's song "Another Day" are a reflection on the monotonous and seemingly purposeless routine of everyday life. The singer describes rolling along the sidewalk and sighing at buildings in the city, feeling like they're stuck wasting their time. There's a sense of hopelessness in the air, as even the simplest tasks like things to eat for a baby can be difficult for some.
The song also touches on the idea of change and the need for peace in the world. The singer dreams of a future where military stations are a thing of the past and peace prevails. However, there's a recognition that change isn't always easy or immediate. They also note the struggles that come with trying to create a better world, such as the bloodshed that's been experienced on these streets. Despite the difficulties, the singer is encouraged by the face that asks them to try and is left wondering why change can't start today.
One of the key themes of this song is the idea of time slipping away. The lyrics repeat the phrase "there it goes, just another day" multiple times, emphasizing the passage of time and how quickly it can feel like it's slipping away. The song is a call to action to make the most of the time we have and to work towards a better future.

On the sidewalk I'm rolling to places
I'm wandering aimlessly down the street
Uninviting, the looks on the faces
People give me cold, unfriendly looks
Sir, do you have the time?
I ask a stranger for the time
In the city I'm sighing at buildings
I'm feeling overwhelmed and saddened by the cityscape
Such a fine mess inside where they pull strings
There are complex and corrupt systems in place behind these buildings
You rise up to stand in line
Despite the challenges, you keep going and wait your turn
It seems we've found a way
We've settled into a routine
To stick around and waste our days
We're not making the most of our time
And all the while the hours slip away
Time passes quickly even when we're not paying attention
And there it goes, just another day
Another day has come and gone
In the morning I'm staring at gray skies
The day starts off gloomy and depressing
There's a baby who slept while her mom cried
A child is oblivious to the struggles of her mother
It's such a small mouth to feed
The baby is helpless and dependent
Why don't she have nothing to eat?
The mother is struggling to provide for her child
In the evening I'm dreaming of nations
I'm dreaming of a better world
Done with financing military stations
I'm tired of wars and violence
One word could fill those needs
Peace could solve many of our problems
There it goes, just another day
Another day has passed without much progress
One more day
Another chance to make a difference
We want to win
We have goals and aspirations
But these streets were paved with the blood of our sins
Our past mistakes have led to a difficult present
The business man grins, looks around
Those in power often benefit from the struggles of others
He sees buildings all around now (on the ground now)
The destruction of buildings symbolizes a world in chaos
And a hand outstretched for change
There are people in need hoping for improvement
And though it may soon start to rain
Even when things seem bleak, there is hope for change
There is still a face that asks me to try
There are those who inspire us to work towards a better future
While the baby cries, the mother simply sighs
Even in the face of adversity, we can become numb to our struggles
If change is on its way, what's the problem with today?
We should start making positive changes now since a better future is possible

@zuskwaf9294
I had a dream, I was a gangster drinking Moets, holding Tecs
Making sure the cash is correct, then I stepped
Investments in stock, sewing up the blocks
To sell rocks, winning gun fights with the cops
Custom-made suits, hands full of ice and gold
Making thousand dollar bets on the dice I rolled
Girls working night patrol, the whore market
When I walk, niggas is rolling out the red carpet
Now how good could a black man have it?
Living like a king, is a habit I keep an automatic
The whole crew life is love above word
Rumors about the way we make niggas well heard
Nicknamed the "Killa Clan"
Soon to kill a man
If there is still a gram
I shake my left hand
And not do a minute on the rock
Cause if I do a minute on the rock
The juries getting knocked
I'm 'bout girls, that kept braggin'
Cause I own all the runner-ups in every state's beauty pagent
Inside a lamborgini, called the Martini
Little kids in the streets, they wanna be me
I'm living in a mansion, hold a niggas wife for ransom
I'm like a rich Charles Manson
A view, backyard, about 40 acres
You read about me in the papers
I hit the jackpot
Every night from all my crack spots
We attack cops for props
I got sons with guns, they all done crimes
They so wild, they even scare my ass sometimes
Other niggas on the blocks is so corny
I got my dime, I'm lookin like someone smoke for me
Bad bitches kissing my ass
I got a few mill. in the stash
With beds made of cash
But on my head was a price
I made the bad-guys in Miami-Vice, look nice
All of a sudden, I got raided
My crib was invaded
But, the Nas still made it...
To the getaway car
And now my driving skills got to be up to par
The cops parked the car
And sprayed till it was smoked up
That's when I woke up
[Hook: Piano hook]
[Jungle]
Yea Nas, nigga
Word Life Kid
[Verse 2: Nas]
The whole thing was a nightmare
I fell asleep watching Scarface
Laying in the chair
Standing on the block
It was flooded with cops
Through the parks... Was the D's and the Narcs
Watching me walking out my building
Staring and hawkin shit
But I as fortunate
I usually be going out with the 9
Instead, I had 10 bucks to buy a dime...
Bag of weed
Never cracks I ain't with that
I bought buddha, some phillies, and a Kit-Kat
Now I'm walking back, through the drug infested area
Which is filled with hysteria
When a cop yelled, "Come here black."
I thought to myself, "what part of the game is that? "
I didn't do no crime, for you to be wasting your time
With your antagonistic mind
He said that I was being smart and I better run
He looked like a Klans-man with a gun
So I started floating
Police in Queensbridge, they don't be joking
I ran up my crib, in the nick of time
Rolled up a philly and stashed the 9
Police later left, I was outta breath
And what not
Somebody got shot, that why it's hot
I called my man and told him the adventure
And later, I meet him at the community center
I need a six pack of Beck's
It's Just Another Day in the Projects!

By far the best rapper alive... Even dead or alive he's still top 2 all time and will always be the King Of New York
@AJandWrmyinitials
What dead rapper is in the top two with Nas? I can think of some living ones that could rank up there, but no dead ones.
