Lyrics:
rappin' ain't thug unless you thug out with it,
thats why my rappin' ain't thug, cuz i'm just mr. bennett.
so you're seein what i'm doin,
and i'm just making tunes to try and keep your body movin.
not only that, but transform your mind,
and i might be an optimist because i'm in my prime.
and in case you forgot, my flow's so automatic,
you could call me a flobot cuz *i can ride my bike with 1 handlebar*.
now for the record, i turn tables,
flipped the script, skipped a bit, and and brushed off all your labels, in hip-hop i'm a staple.
common like comcast cable, these atomic hits are stable, explosive RPG like fable, old-school like cain & able.
that last line was killer, but that's what you can expect when you're messin with the Thriller,
there ain't nobody realer.
i'm tryin to be the Light because i gotta get the Hell out,
these other rappers must be cheap cuz all they do is sell out.
you hear me spoke my cadence, i'll switch gears so i can make sense (cents).
pedal past the pack, book j-thrill here's your paper back (paperback).

rappin' ain't thug unless you thug out with it.
that's why i say, my rappin' ain't thug cuz i'm just mr. bennett.

see everything in my life ain't goin perfect,
but everything in my life it will be worth it.
when i look back upon my life, with some kids and a beautiful wife
i'll look back and just say nice... nice.
see that's just too (2) nice, do you get it? i said nice twice.
so cliche like white on rice, but my rhymes are cold so this ain't thin ice.
man this is so fun,
hands up to the sun (son),
jammin' till we're done,
you think we're quitin' but we just begun.
yo this last summer... man i was livin' it.
playin shows and playin hoops, it wasn't even about the dividends.
carryin' around a sharpie cuz i had to...
"yo, J-Thrill will you sign my shirt?" yea, i'd be glad to.
these things ain't guaranteed, but i hate that they comparin me.
and i'll tell ya who i'll never be, i'll never be:
Toby Mac or KJ, and i ain't tryin to be Em.
tryin to care my own niche and right now it's kinda tough,
but i'm just trying to be jake and i hope that that's enough.
but don't look up to me, cuz i'm too insecure.
i'm tryin to keep my head clear, but lately it's been a blur.
am i the reason people keep leavin'?
i don't know but i hope i start believin.

i guess that's why i say...
