about
J-Willz, aka Golden Child Willz is an incredible artist originally from Virginia who now makes the ATL his home. He heard Ben's story and decided it was time to write a tribute. We added it to the CD version of Ben's album "Autistic Flow," but you can also track down the single version (see what we did there?) released by Virginia's Golden Child.
This is the amazing J-Willz performance...

Young Benjamin
You got a friend in me
Like breakdancing in the 80s
Making history
Feel like I’m bulletproof
Nah, nah you can’t bully me
I put them hours in
I rise
Stacking up the cheese
Peddlin’
Never in my life
I’ve been for settlin’
We all equal
No one better than
The cool crowd
I wasn’t in
I made a new definition
Keep pushin, like Lupe
Then got better with repetition
Start rappin’ to cut the tension
Life life has “Ben” always different
The world need more like David
He didn’t–when they got distant
Mind your own business
They too broke to pay attention
Pickin with me
‘Cause your parents ain’t listenin’
It’s part of this system
Part of me like breakin’
Part of me like skatin’
Whenever times get hard
I talk to God
And never Satan!
They be nice to me one day
Until then, I’ll be patient
Grinding, on the move
No time wasted
I’m Benjamin like Franklin!
Ah, yes you do
(Yes you do)
Eh, you got a friend in me
Yes, you do
(Yes you do)
We different – No we isn’t
Come join the crew
I ain’t necessarily have it easy
In my high school
But I forgive you
Come join the crew
(Come join the crew)
You got a friend in me
Yes, you do
(Yes, you do)
Oh, you got a friend in me
Yes, you do
(Yes, you do)
I ain’t necessarily had it easy
In my high school
But, I forgive you
Hey, join the crew
Look, one thing I’ve learned
There’s people just like you
Who make the world go ‘round
Had to get out of that ‘lost and found’
‘Benji’ up in da’ house now
Thank you for understanding
Me–when I couldn’t stand it
I got my bike, I’m comin’
I never go out stranded
Seventy-six degrees, Mama
I be on the hammock
You gotta watch your words, really
They can cause some damage
So what the plan is?
Lately I be thinkin’
That’s your right
So what other planet?
If it ain’t love
Then what is?
Represent
For my nieces
And my nephews
Man, I love them
It’s finally my turn
Benjamin, I’m gonna go all in
You can cut that back to Benny, tho
I am the original
You follow your dreams
Then, if you stop
I guess you’ll never know
But, I won’t
(I won’t)
Ah, yes you do
(yes you do)
You got a friend in me
Yes, you do
We different–
No, we ain’t–
Come join the crew
I ain’t necessarily had it easy
In my high school
But I forgive you
Come join the crew
(Come join the crew)
You got a friend in me
Yes, you do
(Yes, you do)
You got a friend in me
Yes, you do
(Yes, you do)
I ain’t necessarily had it easy
In my high school
But I forgive you
Hey, join the crew
“Yeah!
Hey man!
Benjamin Layne Shill!
Young Benny!
Beninem, what’s good?!
A friend for life!
Yeah!”
