Cereal

Song Meaning

Steven Malcolm turns an ordinary childhood breakfast into a full-blown anthem of gratitude and abundance. The track rattles off brand names at a rapid clip — Froot Loops, Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Trix — and pairs them with a running joke about 2% milk poured over every bowl. There's a real arc of delight here: the chorus insists on a bowl of cereal as the everyday meal, while the verses brag about shopping carts full of boxes and the freedom to eat it whenever rather than only in the morning. The turning point comes late, when the rapper recalls waking up in a tank top and heading straight to the kitchen, thanking the Lord before his mom asks what he's getting. That small moment reframes the whole song — the cereal obsession becomes a picture of simple, uncomplicated thankfulness, the kind that starts in a diaper and never really changes. The humor is goofy and self-aware, but the closing image of a family who can vouch for his three-bowls-a-day habit keeps it grounded in real life rather than pure novelty.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I need some Fruit Loops
Maybe some Lucky Charms
Never can have too much
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with them Trix I'm bout to kill
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with my everyday meal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with these Trix I'm bout to kill
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with my everyday meal
A bowl of that cereal!

Don't care what the size it is, wake up every morning you know what time it is
Don't need me a cup of that Folgers, pour me them marshmallow clovers
When it come to the size of the bowl, the bigger the better
Growing up I can only have some in the morning, but now it's whenever
I'm ballin' that cereal
Boxes of hotness all up in my shopping cart
Got the $10 I'm copping, bruh
Know that the breakfast is toppin' ya
General Mills with that Toast Crunch
For breakfast and dinner, for sure lunch
Grab me them Frosted Flakes
Why is that?
Because they're gr-r-reat!
I don't think you get it
I'm that Apple-Jack-Flipping
Fruity-Pebble-Box-Getting
Rice-Krispie, (only with the sugar, though)
Reese's-Puff, Mini-Wheat Monster
Had one bowl, and can't stop, bruh
Can't forget them Honey Nut Cheerios
I need me another bowl of that cereal!

I need some Fruit Loops
Maybe some Lucky Charms
Never can have too much
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with them Trix I'm bout to kill
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with my everyday meal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with these Trix I'm bout to kill
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with my everyday meal
A bowl of that cereal!

Yeah, don't mess with the Kix
Not a fan of the Special K, neither the Chex
Raisin Bran and Honey Smacks, well, who just does that?
I consume enough cereal to feed a whole city
Don't believe me, then you can ask plenty
My mama, my sister, my cousin, my shawty, my auntie
They'll all tell you the same thing
Three bowls a day, and ain't a thing changed
Ever since I was a whippersnapper
In a diaper talking that jibber-jabber
Off brand, boy it don't matter
[?]
Them Dyno-Bites, I'll be steady smashing
Got the Fruity-O's, now give me two to-go, let's get it
Wake up in the morning, then I thank the Lord
Tank top on, let's get it, head straight to the kitchen
Mom's like "Whatchu getting?"
I'm like "Girl, you tripping!"
Don't act like you ain't know
[?] a bowl of that cereal!

I need some Fruit Loops
Maybe some Lucky Charms
Never can have too much
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with them Trix I'm bout to kill
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with my everyday meal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
A bowl of that cereal, a bowl of that cereal
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with these Trix I'm bout to kill
I'm talking about 2% milk
To go with my everyday meal
A bowl of that cereal!
