White lines, pretty baby, tattoos
Don't know what they mean
They're special, just for you
White palms, baking powder on the stove
Cooking up a dream, turning diamonds into snow
I feel you, pretty baby, feel me
Turn it up hot, loving you is free
I like it down, like it down way low
But you already know that
You already know
Come on down to Florida
I got something for ya
We could see the kilos or the keys, baby, oh ya
Guns in the summertime
Drink a Cherry Cola lime
Prison isn't nothing to me if you'll be by my side
Yayo, yayo, yayo
And all the dope fiends
Yayo, yayo, yayo
Zoomin' my miles in gold hoops
You like your little baby like you like your drinks, cool
White lines, pretty daddy, go ski it
You snort it like a champ, like the winter we're not in
Come on down to Florida
I got something for ya
We could see the kilos or the keys, baby, oh ya
Guns in the summertime
Drink a Cherry Cola lime
Prison isn't nothing to me if you'll be by my side
Yayo, yayo, yayo
And all the dope fiends
Yayo, yayo, yayo
We could get high in Miami, dance the night away
People never die in Miami, that's what they all say
(You believe me, don't you baby?)
Come on down to Florida
I got something for ya
We could see the kilos or the keys, baby, oh ya
Guns in the summertime
Drink a Cherry Cola lime
Prison don't mean nothing to me if you'll be by my
Yayo, yayo, yayo
All the Floridians like
Yayo, yayo, yayo
All the Colombians like
Yayo, yayo, yayo
And all my girlfriends
Yayo, yayo, yayo
That's how we do it, like
Mm-mm, pretty baby
White lines, pretty baby
Gold teeth, pretty baby
Dance the night away
Don't know what they mean
They're special, just for you
White palms, baking powder on the stove
Cooking up a dream, turning diamonds into snow
I feel you, pretty baby, feel me
Turn it up hot, loving you is free
I like it down, like it down way low
But you already know that
You already know
Come on down to Florida
I got something for ya
We could see the kilos or the keys, baby, oh ya
Guns in the summertime
Drink a Cherry Cola lime
Prison isn't nothing to me if you'll be by my side
Yayo, yayo, yayo
And all the dope fiends
Yayo, yayo, yayo
Zoomin' my miles in gold hoops
You like your little baby like you like your drinks, cool
White lines, pretty daddy, go ski it
You snort it like a champ, like the winter we're not in
Come on down to Florida
I got something for ya
We could see the kilos or the keys, baby, oh ya

This song is about a couple that deals together living in Miami, FL. There are multiple hints that this is about cocaine, number one obviously being that she says "yayo" repeatedly and cocaine is in kilo bricks, hence Florida Kilos. The "white lines" are lines of cocaine. "White palms, baking powder on the stove, cooking up a dream.." They're not baking a cake, they're cooking up some crack. "Guns in the summertime, drink a cherry cola lime" I don't think this has anything to do with being on a diet and wanting to be fit with "guns" for the summer, it's simply setting a summer scene and it's an actual gun. They're drug dealers.. "We could see the kilos or the keys" again with the kilos and "keys" reference what someone people use to snort the coke "Prison isn't nothing to me if you'll be by my side" Assuming they at some point get caught selling dope, they're obviously going to prison "We could get high in Miami" "You snort it like a champ" Pretty self explanatory
@clouds1 by keys I think she meant the florida keys google.com.br/maps/place/Florida+Keys,+Flórida,+EUA/@24.871131,-82.3069246,8z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x88d059c8eea56e71:0x3f42cfd9464f486a!8m2!3d24.5557359!4d-81.7826537
Yayo is slang for cocaine. And this song is obviously about someone who does/deals coke.
@Blondelle80 <br /> Yes, yayo is cocaine.<br /> Lana loves the Scarface movie, she even has a song named on it, with excerpts from the movie on the beginning.<br /> In this movie, they use the word "yayo" for cocaine.<br /> And she is always about gangster love, tony montana and all.
I think 'guns in the summertime' is referring to Guns N Roses. That's what guns is short for.
This song clearly convey's Lana's wish for there to be snow in tropical climates in the winter so that Floridians (and Colombians) can enjoy the White Christmases Lana was so fond of growing up in the Northeast.
The lyric "white lines, pretty baby, tattoos" is obviously a metaphor for snowflakes, as each one is unique, like a tattoo. The line "turning diamonds into snow" further supports this theory. Lana mentions "Guns in the summertime" to further assert her distaste for warm, sunny weather. I can only assume that "yayo" is a phrase combining the words "YAY, snOw!"
So I think this is on the right track, but is missing a lot of important details. First of all, you're right that it is about climate, but she wants to move somewhere warm and is too fat to do so. The word kilos is in the title, and is a definite hint from Lana this is about an obese person trying to lose weight by going on a diet. This individual wants to move to a tropical climate and have "guns in the summertime" (guns being toned arm muscles). <br /> <br /> The narrator is clearly obsessed with food: in the first verse she mentions baking soda, a common ingredient in baked goods which are not typically allowed on diets. The mention of Cherry Cola Lime is an even more important reference because it serves as a flashback to when the narrator was less healthy and consumed carbonated beverages filled with sugar- the reference to prison in the following line sends this point home. Sugar consumption historically put her into the prison of obesity. <br /> <br /> So basically I totally agree with your thinking that weather is involved, but also think you didn't correctly assess the climate she wanted to be in, or why. Good effort though. She's just a girl that's too fat to live in Florida, but is going on a diet so she can.
White lines are not obviously snowflakes, they're actually white lines of cocaine and she definitely does not have a distaste for sunny weather, as the setting is meant to be sunny and hot. When she says snow she's still referencing cocaine because it's also white. Yayo is another slang for cocaine, not a mix of yay snow.
I agree with hashtaggenius. I think you are really grasping at straws trying to make this about drugs, clouds1. Your insistence to make everything about drugs is sad, and you even took the adorable "yay snow" abbreviation and made it into a sickening nickname for illicit substances. If you need to talk to someone, I'm here for you. I'm worried you may have a drug problem. Hopefully once you see this song is about a chubby girl who wants to lose weight to move to Florida, everything in your life will become clear.<br /> <br /> One last thing: Lana is a recovered alcoholic. These sorts of analyses undermine her sobriety and I find it to be unkind and offensive. Please think more thoughtfully about the feelings and points of view of others before acting in the future.
Umm what... geniusbetch, you must live in a box. I think that you two are obviously trying way too hard to interpret this song. First of all, you don't know me therefore don't accuse me of "making everything about drugs." Sure it's "cute" she thinks it's "YAY, snOw" but it's not. YAYO IS COCAINE, I didn't just make that up for the sake of it being my own interpretation.<br /> Second of all, maybe you should follow your own advice and "think more thoughtfully about the feelings and points of view of others before acting in the future," seeing as how you just disrespectfully accused me of having a drug problem because of my interpretation. I don't have one, but if I did thanks for your concern. Whatever let's you sleep at night.<br /> Maybe when you actually read the lyrics and realize some things she says like hmm idk "DOPE FIENDS" and "you SNORT it like a champ" THEN you can come talk to me. Just because Lana is a recovering alcoholic does not mean she can't sing about whatever the fuck she wants. Her lyrics are explicit and constantly about drugs, alcohol and sex and if you don't realize after the first listen of Florida Kilos that it's about cocaine, then maybe you should not be listening to Lana at all. <br /> <br />
@hashtaggenius I assume you are being sarcastic??<br /> <br />
@hashtaggenius no, just no
I just want to say that this whole conversation y\'all had made my day. Its hilarious, I haven\'t laughed so much in a long time. geniusbetchon and hashtaggenius, you truly are geniuses. Thank you.
I think the song is about Spring Breakers, because Harmony Korine, the director of that movie, wrote this song with Lana and another guy.
@captainizer_ *SnoW, just SnoW
Yay, snow!
I think your all wrong...its OBVIOUSLY about a cute white kitty named Yayo, so just stop all the non sense here.
Both of the Genius people ...you have valid points though..ill put it into consideration. BUT you Clouds1...You should be ashamed of yourself! Lana would never do drugs, She's an Angel. Toodles.
