Bio

Making A Dollar
Yo. BenjamMin Bodenstein. We’ve been having fun and everything is now in the sun; it’s a rapper’s life for us. A just cause is bruising and cruising within us. Just like a certain date moves something in us. REFRAIN: Not like you to say sorry; was waiting on another story. Not like you to be A baller; it’s like as if I’m making A dollar. I ain’t talking about the US but might as well be the place to be. Just like a rhyme with the King and I and a little bit like the tee on the course which carries with it the case of a free-bee like a Fifer from Fife. Now carry with it a mad case of mad cow disease in the sand. In case you wonder so much I’ll give you my hand and say you are a very kind lad of distinction and not so very bad. REFRAIN: Not like you to say sorry; was waiting on another story. Not like you to be baller; it’s like as if I’m making a dollar. But truly I won’t lie because these beats are a tad bit shy and it’s not like me to hole up dry! But the very nature of the beast is to stick up for the rest and carry with it the nature of the dress. Stick up my son and get used to the name: Mr BenjamMin Bodenstein is coming to the party and it won’t be the same! REFRAIN: Not like you to say sorry; was waiting on another story. Not like you to be a baller; it’s like as if I’m making a dollar. So take with you all and don’t be quiet; the same could be said of your man from the bayou. But what I really want to say is that we’re doing alright. It’s like the same with some sophisticated pleasures that get going at night. REFRAIN: Not like you to say sorry; was waiting on another story. Not like you to be a baller; it’s like as if I’m making a dollar. But what I’m saying is alright for the county beach crowd and all the others laughing that you so loud. The time of the day is coming when you are nearing the end of that day on which I’ll say that nothing hurts so much as feelings on which we all got to pray. REFRAIN: Not like you to say sorry; was waiting on another story. Not like you to be a baller; it’s like as if I’m making a dollar. So come on in and take a seat on the bus. It’s the same as the abysmal hurt from landing that stuff! So now we will get off and then you’ll see; All Is Quiet on the Western Front. REFRAIN: Not like you to say sorry; was waiting on another story. Not like you to be a baller; it’s like as if I’m making a dollar. And so there will be many different types of verses coming at me. Incredible the fun that we had. An incredible run and making me glad. I hope you all had fun and early next year, we will all get together and sing a ballad of beer. Just like Uncle Mark and the case of the tax triad, it’s enough to be from Jersey, New York and the faintest lick from South Park. But getting wired some money from out of my pocket because the fellow from Cleveland is most certainly in another tax bracket! REFRAIN: Not like you to say sorry; was waiting on another story. Not like you to be A baller; it’s like as if I’m making A dollar. So sit right down, have another cup of gin and juice, Mr Wizard can’t reform no God like hocus-pocus; your tribe just called, it’s another case of the Clan. Not like you to say sorry; was waiting on another story. Not like you to be A baller; it’s like as if I’m making A dollar. Keep it clean motherfuckers, and I’ll do my tan.
No Hater found here on this earth could ever suffer the rebirth of my girth in the earth and lose their faith in a lost and heinous belief! For my mother knows the best when she called out my name Mr Benjammin from the block is going to be curing the lame! Like the FunkApostle Messiah and all of the same, Mr Wizard won’t reform no God like hocus-pocus. Now focus! On the goal which we set back in August to reclaim the lost lands and all of that at the locus of faith and of rebirth and of the girth in those shoes it’s the same with the attrition from the mad-hopping youths! REFRAIN: Not like you to say sorry; was waiting on another story. Not like you to be A baller; it’s like as if I was actually making A dollar. We’ve been having fun and everything is now in the sun; it’s a rapper’s life for us. A just cause is bruising and cruising within us. Just like a certain date moves something in us. REFRAIN: Not like you to say sorry; was waiting on another story. Not like you to be A baller; it’s like as if I’m making that dollar. We’ve been having fun and everything is now in the sun; it’s a rapper’s life for us. A just cause is bruising and cruising within us. Just like a certain date moves something in us. Not like you to say sorry; was waiting on another story. Not like you to be A baller; it’s like as if I’m making that dollar! Yo.
