Read the full lyrics of “Like It Is” by Benny the Butcher, Fuego Base, Black Soprano Family from the album Ashes In The Safe. Here, we have shared the complete “Like It Is” Lyrics along with its music video, deeper meaning and song credits.

Benny the Butcher, Fuego Base and the Black Soprano Family are set to extend their gritty street opera with the upcoming track “Like It Is”, expected to arrive as part of the BSF’s new era surrounding the Ashes In The Safe project. The song continues the Buffalo-rooted collective’s raw, diary-like storytelling tradition, with Jeremie Benny Pennick and Fuego Base trading verses over a moody, drum-heavy East Coast instrumental likely produced within the Nyckles/Harlem Zone production circle. Early context from BSF’s recent output suggests themes of survival, coded loyalty, narcotics economy reflections, and emotional fatigue beneath success. Following projects like Excelsior and Summertime Butch, this cut leans into unfiltered realism, blending English street reportage with cinematic crime-rap aesthetics typical of Benny’s acclaimed catalog.
