Lo Lo’s Lyrics – Benny the Butcher

Lo Lo’s Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Benny’s setting the mood here. It’s summer, and he’s in his element—confident, smooth, and in control. He’s referring to the drug game as something glamorous, but he’s also telling you to chill and stay focused. The repeated “just relax” feels like advice to stay sharp and not get distracted, especially when things seem flashy or intense.

[Verse 1]
Here, Benny starts by giving some real advice—keep your focus and don’t fall for anyone’s lies or fake talk. He compares buying bullets to buying toilet paper, saying in the streets, both are essentials, and you get them in bulk because of how real things can get. He sees himself as the ultimate hustler, not just someone who talks big in raps. He warns listeners not to believe everything rappers say because many don’t live what they rap about. He brags that he’s added serious weight to the game—like breaking a backboard, he’s made a real impact. He’s evolved from being on the streets with guns to working smart like a professional, comparing himself to someone in a lab coat now. Even though he’s rapping now, he still sees success coming in, saying the money (or birds) keeps stacking. He reflects on being in a truck, flying out of LAX, wondering how he can rap about the streets while also telling people not to get into it. He admits he did things he told others to avoid, like selling drügs. The “bird talking like a cockatoo” is likely a metaphor for drug deals or informants. He remembers taking over blocks, cooking in the kitchen, and wearing a watch without diamonds—showing he had the hustle but not yet the flashy rewards. He also touches on how his rough upbringing shaped him, even mentioning there were times when no parent was home at all.

[Verse 2]
Benny starts off by describing being on the move—one truck going to JFK, another headed upstate, possibly referring to both travel and drug runs. Then he shifts into describing his type: a woman who either has curves or beauty like J-Lo. He jokes that he’s falling for his plug’s daughter, who looks innocent but is still tied into that lifestyle. He paints a picture of how sharp his drug game is, slicing bricks like cutting cake. Then he talks about seeing criminal empires falling apart because their alliances got weak, and the people they helped turned on them—burning bridges and breaking loyalty. He compares that betrayal to fighting dragons, saying it was way tougher than just dealing with inner struggles. Through it all, he stayed focused, still rapping like he was broke and hungry. He remembers how fights used to be over turf, but now he’s eating good—literally eating steak at a fancy spot in Turks & Caicos, shirt off, living like a boss. He makes it clear he calls the shots—if he points a finger, something’s happening. When it comes to women, he’s cold-hearted and moves on quickly. He ends by saying you need to pay attention to what’s real, and when it comes to stories, everyone has their version—but the truth usually lies somewhere in between.
