About the song: 
Story track about a neglected kid who listens to weak corporate music on the radio because he doesn't know any better, and then his friend puts him on to underground music and explains why he loves his favorite underground artist. It's a story track about how the truth, through underground music, spreads by word of mouth.

Lyrics:
I make the dirty beat on Tape With the warble and the flutter 
and spit it for the poor kid starving in the gutter 
who never had love from his father nor his mother 
so he’s probably going to grow up robbing from his brother 
never taught to respect the truth 
now he’s home by himself just a neglected youth 
and he’s turning on the radio to bump it alone 
and listen to the music these companies pump in his home 
now he’s sunk in the zone, absorbing every single word 
that sunk in his dome, his dad’s drunk and he’s gone 
so how is he supposed to know what’s right from wrong 
and know that these guys lie when they’re writing their song 
and know that the rich use it dividing the strong? 
he won’t know it, he’s just bobbing his head riding along 
just then, he hears a knock on his door 
his friend’s coming to pick him up to stop at the store 
now this bigger fellow’s going to pick up some cigarillos 
pressing the gas with his velcro shell toes 
in the car he notices a track playing and he starts paying 
attention to what the rap's saying 
“Hey yo man this is ill, who is this?” 
“it’s Benefit” “Benefit? Who’s Benefit?” 
“Benefit’s the dopest in the history of music on earth 
kicking rappers out the game for abusing the turf 
and you should listen again if it’s confusing at first 
you’re not used to the fusion of flow with the views interspersed 
so many dead emcees after he’s using his verse 
he should get a side hustle and just cruise in a hearse 
music’s a drug, he’s got them abusing it worse 
than the fiend at the shop pawning her shoes and her purse 
his style’s explosive like a missile dropped bomb
