Blk Odyssy Benny’s Got A Gun

BLK ODYSSY left a strong impression with the release of 2021’s BLK VINTAGE but it appears that they’re keeping the momentum high this year. The group delivered “COMPLEX OF KILLING A MAN” with Baby Rose last week, and now, they’ve returned with their new collaboration alongside Benny The Butcher and George Clinton, “BENNY’S GOT A GUN.” BLK ODYSSY lays down woozy, funky production as they weave through the tale of the effects that gun violence has in inner-city communities.

“Benny spent his whole life tired of running. Until the demon glued to his back whispered.. the butchers coming. Then the father of funk descended from the skies. He whispered a sweet hymnal.. to Bennys surprise. Blessed be the black souls ejected from black bodies,” a tweet from BLK ODYSSY’s Twitter announcing the single reads.

Lyrics

[Intro: BLK ODYSSY]
Benny’s got a gun and that nigga’s insane, uh
Peeped a couple niggas hopped out of a Range, uh
Niggas hopped out of a Range
Okay, now Benny’s got a gun and that nigga’s insane, uh
Peeped a couple niggas hopped out of a Range, uh
Peeped a couple niggas hopped out of a Range, uh
Peeped a—, peeped a couple niggas hopped out of a Range, uh

[Verse 1: BLK ODYSSY]
Okay, now Benny’s got a gun and that nigga’s insane, uh
Peeped a couple niggas hopped out of a Range, uh
Start interrogating, “What set do you bang?” (Uh)
Shared upon a laugh and now snatching his chain
He went and copped an AK, itching he couln’t refrain, uh
Caught them niggas lacking on Clarion lane (Clarion lane)
So then he reached up out his window, a nigga killing his kinfolk
Add to the Back stigma, well, ain’t that a shame?
Benny was thirteen when his cousin taught him how to move green
Once upon a time aspirated towards some hoop dreams
Father steady hustling for the mustard, that’s routine
Pay attention class, don’t want you niggas to lose me
Benny’s just a product and now he’s calling his savior
School gave him Ridellan, tryna tame his behavior
Father used to tell me that no other race could save us
Ain’t the neighborhood, it’s the hood neighbors

[Chorus: BLK ODYSSY & George Clinton, Benny the Butcher]
There’s a place on God
Where the niggas steal and rob
Every step you take
Keep that blicky on your waist
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun)
Benny’s got a gun (Yeah, yo, got a gun, ah)
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun, the Butcher coming, nigga)
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun, I do this shit)

[Verse 2: Benny the Butcher]
I got to sleep with two watch dogs and a rocket (Yeah)
Extra cautious, I already been caught without it
Gun on the edge of the sink when I’m in the shower (Shower)
It’s protection for me (Yeah, yeah) but for some in means power (Yeah)
And Benny got a gun (Uh-huh), and Benny got some aim (Uh-huh)
But Benny don’t gotta use ’cause Benny gon’ spend some change (Nigga)
And all these internet niggas, they be all fun and games (Haha)
‘Til I put a rapper on the news, just to be entertained (Brr, brr)
Y’all niggas tote guns out of town and think y’all safe?
I’m from Buffalo, y’all scared to tote ’em in New York State
My dawg a reckless one, for a second one? He got eight
He still don’t give a fuck (Nah), he still carry one until this day (Yeah)
In interviews, they ask how I’m feeling, I tell them great
Just based off where I’m at, what I’m projected to make
Limits? I know all of mine, street shit? I’m too qualified
You gon’ see my face when it’s time to die (The Butcher)

[Chorus: BLK ODYSSY & George Clinton]
There’s a place on God
Where the niggas steal and rob (Niggas steal and rob)
Every step you take
Keep that blicky on your waist
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun)
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun, Benny’s got)
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun)
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun, Benny’s got a gun)
There’s a place on God (There’s a place on God, place on God)
Where the niggas steal and rob (Steal and rob)
Every step you take
Keep that blicky on your waist
Benny’s got a gun (Benny’s got a gun, got a gun)
Benny’s got a gun (Benny’s got a gun, got a gun)
Benny’s got a gun (Benny’s got a gun, got a gun)
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun, yeah)

[Bridge: George Clinton & BLK ODYSSY]
(Benny’s got a gun and that nigga’s insane, uh)
May the Almighty, Most High (Peeped a couple—)
Turn His face towards our Richard (Peeped a couple niggas hopped out of a Range)
That say a word to clease our nasty mind (Peeped a couple niggas hopped out of a Range, uh)
Once upon a time (Okay, now Benny’s got a gun and that nigga’s insane, uh)
There’s a place on God (Peeped a couple niggas hopped out of a Range, uh
Peeped a couple niggas hopped out of a Range, uh
Peeped a—, peeped a couple niggas hopped out—)
Where the niggas steal and rob

[Chorus: BLK ODYSSY & George Clinton]
There’s a place on God
Where the niggas steal and rob
Every step you take (You take)
Keep that blicky on your waist
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun, gun)
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun, gun)
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun, gun)
Benny’s got a gun (Got a gun, gun)
