Lyrics:

Intro (Nike 1997 Benji Basketball Commercial):

1 out of every 5 black men die before they reach the age of 25
Huh, that was Benji's number
Benji was the first in Chicago history
to ever be named top high school player in the nation
right before he was gonna die
But ya know what ? Benji's not dead
Benji's spirit lives on in every jump shot
Remember, shoot over brothers, not at them





Verse 1:

Uh, if this had happened to you, how'd cha feel about yo friends ?
Shot 2 times in the gut, before you blacked out in front of a Mercedes-Benz
While 2 people run away from ya while ya bleeding 'n' covered over by students
People still cry over Wilson, Benji
there is number 25 in the city
the 2 that killed him still have pity
but are still hated over in Illi
Derrick Rose had number 25
it doesn't matter if Benji's dead or alive
he lives on in every game that jive
but he's stuck in a glowin' bee hive
I never knew him, but I felt guilty
it was sad to know that he had been ridded
no one will ever know if there were any skills hidded
but he was the best alive, no doubt about it
At least the bullets weren't toward the head
if it was, he would've been immediately dead
but he just kept on spillin' out red
he really, honestly, sincerely n-needed Dr. Zed
One day, I wanna visit dat high school Simeon
and hopefully one day, those kids might like this song
I'm not sure if Benji did anything wrong
but not that we know of, hopefully it wasn't Bong
Da realest be on dat
but maybe baby wanna blow dat
don't bring that in a song like that witta hat
instead, think of a Chicago Bulls snapback
B. Wilson was an actual OG
No one knew it was time for him to go, already
No conspiracy theories on about spending Zenny
I mean, that sucks, but really
he's not alive and well, but you da realest, Benji
