Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wake up
Same ceiling
Peeling paint
Same feeling
Scroll my phone
Fake winning
Whole feed
Bright beginnings
I’m in last place
Cold sink
Water on my face
Tell myself
“bro
Move”
But my feet stay glued
I’m tired of saying “soon”
Talking big
Stuck in this room
Mom asking
“you eat?”
I just laugh
Change the beat
[Chorus]
Day by day
I swear I’m tryna level up
Dream about the day they say I’m doing too much (yeah)
Pull up
Have ’em looking like
“that can’t be him”
(That can’t be him)
Jealous of the way I finally learned to win
Day by day
I’m crawling out this same old skin
Waiting on the moment all this hurt makes sense
One day they’ll be talking like they knew me when
Till then I’m just breathing
Day by day again
[Verse 2]
Friends out
New outfits
I’m home
Loose outlets
Phone charge
My heart drained
Plans big
My work lame
Write goals on a napkin
Fold ’em up
Nothing happens
Say “tomorrow” like a prayer
Keep my fears in the chair
But I see it when I close eyes
Me on stage
Both hands high
Them in back like “ain’t fair”
I want that
I want stares
[Chorus]
Day by day
I swear I’m tryna level up
Dream about the day they say I’m doing too much (too much)
Pull up
Have ’em looking like
“that can’t be him”
(For real?)
Jealous of the way I finally learned to win
Day by day
I’m crawling out this same old skin
Waiting on the moment all this hurt makes sense
One day they’ll be talking like they knew me when
Till then I’m just breathing
Day by day again
[Bridge]
Yeah
I want ’em low-key sick of me
Talking like “he did it easily”
They won’t see the nights I couldn’t sleep
All the times I almost quit on me (oh)
I’m not there yet
But I’m close
Tiny steps that nobody knows
If they only knew this version
Is the worst I’ll ever be
That’s a promise I’m holding
[Chorus]
Day by day
I swear I’m tryna level up
Dream about the day they say I’m doing too much
Pull up
Have ’em looking like
“that can’t be him”
(That can’t be him)
Jealous of the way I finally learned to win
Day by day
I’m crawling out this same old skin
Waiting on the moment all this hurt makes sense
One day they’ll be talking like they knew me when
Till then I’m just breathing
Day by day again (day by day again)
Style
melancholic trap-soulmale vocals; intimate keys and airy pads over a sparsemoody beat. verse starts underspoken with tight pockets and subtle pitchy ad-libs; chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and a wider stereo image. 808 low-end swells in the hookthen ducks back for confessional lines in the bridgeleaving space for vocal grit and vulnerability.
Prompt
A song about living day by day wishing you cound do better than you are doing at the moment. Like something people would be like damn he’s doing good I’m kind of jealous
