MILK
J. Red (The Nephew) Lyrics

Which way to go?
Asking for guidance on which path to take in life.

Just follow the sun
Keep moving forward with positivity.

You can come along
Inviting someone to share the experience.

Together alone
Feel like you are in it together despite being alone with your thoughts.

We can get stoned
Relax and take it easy.

On the open road
Following a new and adventurous path.

Decide on our own
Make your own decisions and take control of your life.

The better coast
Choosing which side of the country to explore.

The loss of time
Worrying about time wasted.

It's not your's or mine
Time belongs to no one and cannot be owned.

It's a passerby
Time moves quickly and cannot be captured.

It's not over life
Time is separate from life, which continues even after time has passed.

It's not a crime
It is not a punishable offense to explore new things.

To give it a try
Taking the risk.

Leave it all behind
Focusing on the present and letting go of baggage from the past.

You might shine
You have the potential to be successful.

Isn't funny?
An ironic observation about life and society.

Chasing the money
Obsessing over wealth and material possessions.

We find ourselves
Realizing where we are emotionally and physically in life.

Lost in the city
Feeling disoriented or disconnected from oneself.

Tracing the trail
Following a new, unmarked path.

Following beauty
Being drawn to beautiful things, inside and out.

A brand new land
Discovering a new, unexplored place.

Of Milk & Honey
A place of great abundance and comfort.

Who'd of thought?
An exclamation about the unexpected.

I should of known
Regret for not seeing the truth.

A heart of gold
Someone with a kind and caring nature.

Is heavy to hold
Being burdened by compassion.

Don't you blame
Taking responsibility for one's own actions and decisions.

The player or game
Referring to the unpredictability of life.

Or decisions made
The choices one makes.

In their own name
Taking ownership of one's decisions.

You can't control
The lack of control over certain aspects of life.

Where life goes
The unpredictable paths that life takes.

But you should know
The importance of being self-aware.

What goes up your nose
The consequences of substance abuse.

Some fresh air
The benefits of getting outside and taking a break.

Will get you there
Promoting the healing power of nature.

Keep your heart near
Don't lose sight of what's truly important.

And speak it clear
Be honest and direct.

How can I find
Questioning what is needed in life.

What I need?
Trying to identify one's wants and needs.

If I'm bummed
Feeling down or depressed.

Beyond belief
Emphasizing how extreme the feeling is.

Counting all
Taking stock of one's current situation.

My stems and seeds
Referring to the leftover and less valuable parts of a cannabis plant.

I swear there is
Expressing frustration and disappointment.

Not enough weed
Feeling like one's resources are limited or insufficient.
