Life It's Always A Struggle & Just For Hustler's!

“Day by day” by C-Locs it’s an important video because its shows the dominant ideology of how a man is important to a family. This song came out on 2011, this video is also discussing our society and how he survives “struggling” in these hard times, so he can feed his family and pay for other things and that faith its important to live day by day. This work is part of a broader trend that has building for a period of time especially when our society drop and jobs were running out. In some part this shows that a man should be strong and that he needs to bring money to the house so his family can survive. It also showing that by been a “ gangster” as people say, that he is not good to society but what they don't know is that he has family to look after, and in order to survive he needs to struggle and do anything to make it day by day and don't end in prison or dead like his homies. This work shows that America see a certain people as no good and kind of push them out of society just because of what they use or what they look like and the things they do or have done, it just stereotyping them without knowing them. It says that in society people should be "productive and good without any errors", but for gangsters their life's are not always good but full of problems, just risking everything day after day.

Well "Day By Day" will speak by itself once you listen to it, it will show how people struggle for their families and that they are not always safe, always having faith to make it to the next day. But i will explain a little about the author. C-locs is from San Jose and he is a gangster that raps about what he has been through not like other rappers that rap fake things that they haven't lived and became famous by it. And during an interview he mentions that society stereotypes them and talks that they make music that can be heard on mtv or any tv show even the radio but it sucks that they are mexicans and that's a downfall because the media spit so much sh*t, about the gangs and the way they work. And that people feed that to the media that they don't want music on the radio or on tv because it shows what they are all about and if they do, its going to spread. That's whats stopping rappers to really getting out there.

"For all them raining days and all the drama there is a better tomorrow, keep your head up homie don't let them get you down". He is saying that everything is not always bad just keep your head up and don't let people get you down. "My only mission from the heart try to make it in this rap thang, is so my kids don't have to struggle is this dirty game". That he needs to do music in order to get money so his kids wouldn't suffer. In the chorus this lyrics "And before they found me sleep i pray the lord my soul you'll keep" its saying that before he dies he prays his soul is with his family like him to look after them even tough he is dead. Finally this shows the american ideology of man "For my family i got to maintain strong, yeah its hard but i got to bring my family through", that he needs to be strong to get his family up and to struggle so they will have a good life.
