Paging Mr. Bill Nunn
Milo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dilemma like Jan Rodricks
A single day with a hundred pockets
Most understated mage
Flow monotone
How you sublimate the rage
I be to rap what kings be to law
What scenes be to plot
Like "what seems to be the problem?"
They were convinced Sufism was expressed by hat choice
I don't dictate my didact and map it to black noise
Said the target audience whose mothers are blonde-headed
Black boys, we shouldn't be complimented
Fence-building nihilists
Frankly, the frankincense isn't working
All I'm doing is working
Understand life is a chore-list
What a blessing this boredom is
He don't know me very well, do he?
Report the bridge for blowup
He don't know me very well, do he?
Report the bridge for blowup
Had to switch styles up and tell em'
"Hol', hol', hol' up"
"Hol', hol', hol' up"
Yeah, he don't know me very well, do he?
He don't know me very well, do he?
Who taught me of my enemies?
Who's constantly debriefing me?
Who taught me of my enemies?
(What could they possibly become
Anything other than what have been demonstrated
In front of them)
What's understood ain't got to be said
My soul is flushed in a public park toilet in '69
Debate is catechism
Preference to read the Braille
At the barrier, the patriarch paused
The giver should be thankful
As the magician becomes a sorcerer
Refusing to be smothered under the allostatic load
Refusing to be smothered under the allostatic load
Refusing to be smothered
The lyrics of Milo's song "Paging Mr. Bill Nunn" are complex and layered, touching on themes of identity, perception, and self-expression. The opening line, "In the belly of a whale, dilemma like Jan Rodricks," is a reference to the singer in Arthur C. Clarke's novel "Childhood's End," who faces a moral and existential crisis while in a seemingly impossible situation. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, as Milo explores the challenges of navigating through life's uncertainties.
Milo describes himself as a "understated mage," using his flow, which is described as monotone, to channel and sublimate his rage. This highlights his ability to express deep emotions through his art form, rap. He compares himself to kings in relation to law, emphasizing his importance and influence in the world of hip-hop. The line "Or a cop tapping on the glass, like 'what seems to be the problem?'" draws attention to the systemic issues faced by black individuals, who are often subjected to suspicion and discrimination by law enforcement.
The song also addresses the ignorance and prejudice faced by black boys, highlighted by the line "Said the target audience whose mothers are blonde-headed, black boys, we shouldn't be complimented." Milo challenges the stereotypes and expectations placed upon him and his community. He explores the notion of boredom as a blessing, suggesting that it allows for introspection and a deeper understanding of oneself.
Overall, Milo's "Paging Mr. Bill Nunn" is a thought-provoking and introspective commentary on identity, art, and the complexities of navigating through life's challenges.
