[Verse 1]

They call me Benny, Ben, Benjamin, Selena Gomez has said

If you ready, come get it then, everyone is jealous, and

Many want to get friends with him just in case he is relevant

Got iPhone camera lenses to get the Instagram evidence

Yeah, I know I'm way too cocky

But I'm workin' on figurin' it all out

So when people say you can't, it makes you wanna get better

That's benefit of the doubt

I've been on the top of this, never droppin' the bottom, it's

Opposite from the positives, gotten from talkin' often, and

I'm locked in a pocket of all my thoughts, and they keep turnin' around

Always stoppin' my songs 'cause they keep burnin' the sound

I'm like, yo, this is freedom of speech

Tryna murder all the people who be keepin' the peace

Sacrifice your whole life 'cause you need a degree

Opportunity in front of you you need to achieve

I'm like, no, I'm just tryna find some clarity

Apparently, it all has to do with popularity

There will be obstacles, primarily

People blinded to what is carefully bein' prepared for me

Sometimes you'll have hilarity, parody, and prosperity

I'm askin' Hillary Clinton to marry me, powerful in the very least

And all of these people keep comin' in

Wonderin' why I ain't gon' fuck with them, nah!


[Hook]

And I don't give a shit, man

Life's a game, life's insane

We just livin' for a big plan

I remain a lifeless frame of tired pain, and it's bland

And I don't wanna do it

I just know that it has to be done, it has to be done

All of y'all are rappin' for fun

You be takin' the shots, but you lackin' the gun, yeah

Said, I don't give a shit, man

Life's insane, life's a game

We just livin' for a big plan

I remain a lifeless frame of tired pain, and it's bland

And I don't wanna do it

I just know that it has to be done, it has to be done

All of y'all are rappin' for fun

You be takin' the shots, but you lackin' the gun, man (Uh, yo!)


[Verse 2]

Gotta re-energize, got lyrics to memorize

Start an enterprise of better guys who cannot be successful and never try

That's my dream job, bein' lazy

Just sittin' with the TV on, they say that I'm bright like neon

But I ain't takin' responsibility

Pay me for havin' limited ability with little humility

But whatever I'm doin', it seems to be killin' me

I'm unwillingly artistically fittin' into this history

Tryna show you I'm better, but none of you believe me

Tryna win this gold? Then try harder, good game; gg

You beat me, and now you see me in 3D, but you can't feel me

Showin' up on your device- Control/Option/Delete

Consider me part of elite, measure myself in retweets

I be talkin' way more chill so you can reach me

Instead of pretendin' you understand what I am talkin' 'bout

I'm the exhibit you're kinda scared for, like a haunted house

Tryna show you somethin' instead of just sittin' on the couch

I'll be honest now, I rarely end up walkin' out

Into reality, in normality, actually happily

Found myself doin' nothin', and you don't laugh at me, why?

'Cause, ideally, you would do the same thing

Nothin', 'cause for a brain, that is amazing

Not complainin', but the best part of life is not even livin' it

Love sleepin' and just usin' the Internet

But my time is limited, and I better figure this

Before I'm slippin' this opportunity out my fingertips

And let me just tell you what I have came to do

Tryna show you I can rap as fast as I'm able to

Tryna show you I can hop in here, like a kangaroo

And say some stupid metaphors and leave after I'm breakin' through

And I've got some prominent features, I'm a confident speaker

When I'm off and up on the spot, and eager

They fearin' this every time that they hearin' it

To know that my lyrics have the precision to buildin' a pyramid

So when you're nearin' this, please let me know

When I'm standin' here frozen, please let it go

I just try to combine everythin' into this compilation

To unlock super-stardom and move all across the nation

But that is just a dream, and probably a combination

Of a big ego and false encouragement on the way in

But when I'm playin', just know it's all a big game

I'm just tryna blow up Ben, have a big name

But when you think about it, it is all insane

What can be created from chemicals in this brain

But when you look at me, you lackin' respect

When I'm crackin' my neck so that I can rap to my chest

Hasn't a breath, some say that it's magic, I step

Until I'm on the same stage, and you'll have it again, yeah!


[Hook]

And I don't give a shit, man

Life's a game, life's insane

We just livin' for a big plan

I remain a lifeless frame of tired pain, and it's bland

And I don't wanna do it

I just know that it has to be done, it has to be done

All of y'all are rappin' for fun

You be takin' the shots, but you lackin' the gun, yeah

Said, I don't give a shit, man

Life's insane, life's a game

We just livin' for a big plan

I remain a lifeless frame of tired pain, and it's bland

And I don't wanna do it

I just know that it has to be done, it has to be done

All of y'all are rappin' for fun

You be takin' the shots, but you lackin' the gun, man
