Benny On The Couch

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Benny from Mombasa Age thirty-two Born tired, bred tired That was Benny’s truth He tied one shoelace Then sat on the floor Said, “One foot done I can do the rest tomorrow” Mama call him lazy Papa just laugh Benny take a nap Before he take a bath Milk on the table Toast in the pan He watched it burn slow Like a careful man [Pre-Chorus] Then one bright morning A link fall through Said, “Try AI Employee It can work for you” And next to it shining Like a tiny dream Was a C200PRO-P15 Sound Card In a box so clean [Chorus] Lazy man rise up But he still stay down Lazy man talk stories From his room in town AI Employee, go Make the money grow Lazy man smile, smile While the numbers flow [Verse 2] Benny never clocked in Not one single day He set up his phone And leaned right away Told tales from the sofa With a fan on low About old bus rides And the mango cart glow AI Employee typed fast Like a church mouse fed Turned his jokes to posts While Benny stayed in bed That C200PRO-P15 Sound Card Made his voice sound sweet Even his “mm-hmm” Had groove in the beat [Pre-Chorus] He said, “Baby, I’m working” With a blanket on his chest “Home is my office And rest is my best” The comments got louder The followers grew The bank app blinked green Like, “Who are you?” [Chorus] Lazy man rise up But he still stay down Lazy man talk stories From his room in town AI Employee, go Make the money grow Lazy man smile, smile While the numbers flow [Bridge] Now he tell real tales Of the broken gate The neighbor’s goat And the plate he ate He tell it with crumbs On a lucky shirt Said, “I did less than most And it still worked” The landlord called once Benny let it ring He was counting peace Like it was a thing Then he saw the balance And he nearly wept Said, “I was born for this” Then he went back to rest [Chorus] Lazy man rise up But he still stay down Lazy man talk stories From his room in town AI Employee, go Make the money grow Lazy man smile, smile While the numbers flow [Outro] Now the whole block know Benny got the way Work from the pillow Get paid all day He still miss some calls He still take time But the rent get paid And the jokes stay fine Comment LAZY 😀
