MILK
[Alexandros] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And dance on the beat and there it goes
Well, you need good grades and you got to get paid
If you wanna get made and there it goes
I'll tell you what to do 'cause you don't have a clue
Your mind is too confused and there it goes
All you gotta do is drink all your milk
Milk, milk, milk
All you gotta do is drink all your milk
Like a motherxxxxer in a court room trial
They try to figure out a rock star's life style
Like someone's getting screwed, who is cheating on who
Everybody's getting so sick of all the news
I'll tell you what you need if you wanna proceed
You won't disagree and there it goes
Take this as a warning when you wake up in a morning
All you gotta do is drink all your milk
Milk, milk, milk
All you gotta do is drink all your milk
Milk, milk, milk
All you gotta do is drink all your milk
Back on the motherfxxxing streets
Manifesting in the beat
Drinking milk so sweet, chocolate, strawberry, whatever it is
Whatever's good to me, whatever's got a beat, ooh, so well beat
I just wanna be in my heart, but I ain't getting ahead
'Cause I'm fxxxing dead
Na, na, na, na, na, na
The song "MILK" by [Alexandros] is a commentary on the struggles of life and the need to do what is necessary to succeed. The lyrics express the reality that life is not always easy and that we must fight to be free. The line "you need good grades and you got to get paid, if you wanna get made" highlights the importance of hard work and perseverance in achieving success in life. The song also recognizes the negative impact that the media and the constant bombardment of news can have on people's lives, with the line "everybody's getting so sick of all the news".
The song goes on to suggest a solution to these struggles: drinking milk. This seemingly simple act is portrayed as a warning and a reminder to take care of oneself in order to succeed. The lyrics repeat "all you gotta do is drink all your milk" as a simple and catchy message that is memorable and easy to understand. There is a sense of rebellion and defiance in the way the song promotes this idea, as if to say that success can be achieved through simple acts of self-care.

Back on the motherfxxxing streets
Returning to the raw realities of the streets
Manifesting in the beat
Expressing oneself through music
Drinking milk so sweet, chocolate, strawberry, whatever it is
Enjoying the simple pleasure of drinking milk, regardless of the flavor
Whatever's good to me, whatever's got a beat, ooh, so well beat
Anything that appeals to me and has a good rhythm is enjoyable
I just wanna be in my heart, but I ain't getting ahead
I desire to be true to myself but I am not progressing
'Cause I'm fxxxing dead
I feel lifeless and unfulfilled
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Refrain of the song
