Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah (RealRed, I'm so fuckin' bumpin', bro)
Crip, Crip (Turn me up, YC)
Crip, Crip, Crip, Crip, Crip (DMac got me too bangin')
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh (why, why, why-why-why?)
Me and my nigga like Day Day and Craig (Craig)
Yeah, I'm a Crip but I fuck with the red (crip)
My nigga like pizzy in love with the meds (meds)
He don't want smoke with Bloc, the boy scared (scared)
Keep one in the head, I put one in ya head (head)
Coach to the game, I teach you how to play it (play it)
If you wanna fuck with a Crip, then just say it (just say it)
Ray Charles walkin' with Stevie Wonder
I let the blind lead the blind (facts)
Cup off the Perc, he on demon time
Choppin' it loud, let is sing like it's Ginuwine (grrrr)
JJ the dope, they all need a line (line)
It's too much commotion, I need a line (line)
Pure dope coming straight off the boat
You'd think it came from the border line (border)
Stick is on me like a porcupine
Don't touch me lil' nigga, don't touch me (don't touch me)
I'll throw a bullet at any time
Like a quarterback, nigga, don't rush me (let that play)
Niggas see me, they changin' the subject
I smoke 'em like gasbags, leave em' musty (gas)
Jump off in a hellcat with my buddy (skrrt, skrrt)
Everywhere I see living do this shit for Feezy
Finger fuckin' on that cat like I'm Yeezy
Caught bodies with Kim, so I know she ain't leaving
I shot some niggas, I know my achievements
I got some scammers, what's up with that reason (reason)
Itchin' for bodies, kill ya for no reason
I stand for the block, not the pledge of allegiance (facts)
I'm in the bay with your bae
Tryna get in her face (way, that's on my momma)
Dick in her mouth got her teasing
Me and my nigga like Day Day and Craig (Craig)
Drac' on the bike, I might hop off the pegs (skrt)
Yeah, I'm a Crip but I fuck with the red (Crip)
My nigga like pizzy in love with the meds (meds)
He don't want smoke with Bloc, the boy scared (scared)
Keep one in the head, I put one in ya head (head)
Coach to the game, I teach you how to play it (play it)
If you wanna fuck with a Crip, then just say it (just say it)
Me and my nigga like Day Day and Craig (Craig)
Drac' on the bike, I might hop off the pegs (skrt)
Yeah, I'm a Crip but I fuck with the red (Crip)
My nigga like pizzy in love with the meds (meds)
He don't want smoke with Bloc, the boy scared (scared)
Keep one in the head, I put one in ya head (head)
Coach to the game, I teach you how to play it (play it)
If you wanna fuck with a Crip, then just say it (just say it)
The song "Day By Day" by TAY & FiNN begins with a call-out to Tay Keith to bring the beat and create a hard-hitting track. The lyrics revolve around the life of an individual in a gang, where they talk about their affiliations with the Crip gang, their love for drugs and violence, and their willingness to protect their community against rivals. The title of the song itself, "Day By Day," suggests that this life is just a routine part of their daily existence, and they take it in stride.
The song lyrics are structured around the repeated phrase "Me and my nigga like Day Day and Craig," a reference to the film "Friday" and the two main characters' bond. The song also references other cultural icons, such as Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, which may suggest that the lyrics are an admittance of being blind to the consequences of living a life of violence and a lack of self-awareness. Overall, the song creates a dark and aggressive ambiance and paints a brutal, violent picture of gang life.
