Mantra
Benny Mails Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Benny on my boon,
I left the tens on the curb,
420 on the moon like

And I′m like, mind over matter, mind is a matter
Soul in collateral, spine in the spanner in the mix
For the madness, I'm a planner
This is the sound of a heartbroken rapper
This is the fill that took a life at large to capture
To hear it didn′t develop [?] relic in the action
A masterpiece for many, but just a piece of Benny is the caption
And you are in the presence of what's happenin'
Like
You ran into the kid that had the plan
A mantra and he sang each feeling he was missing
Slipping through your fingers like the ganja in your hands
You can that your ticking, you canceled out the plan
But I
Breathe in and get clout
When my eyes shut, I could breathe out
My lungs is fucked up and you can see it in my smell
I′m way to pranked to fall asleep now

(Hook)
My mantra
Everything happens for a reason
My mantra
Something that I happen to believe in
My mantra
I′m wishin that I didn't but I need it
My mantra
Spending time looking for a meaning
And I′m like
Mind over matter, mind is a matter
Soul in collateral, spine in the spanner in the mix
For the madness, I'm a planner
This is the sound of a heartbroken rapper

Each piece fell apart like a fracture
When I realized that you don′t answer to your actions
But then I smile
Cause I can see it's just a fraction
The other side was matched up, prioritized mantra
And I′m like
Eyes wide, I smile, spitting from mind
I've got to close my fucking eyes just to look inside
I've got to close my fucking eyes just to look inside
I′ve got to close my fucking eyes just to look inside
My lung′s black, my heart blue
Everybody's dark, true
But who knew you be talking that [?] until I passed you
It made me pass you faster than you can relate to your tantrum
And know that I can′t stand it
I relate my mantra

The age of the rage
Born in the grave
The post-creation stage
Cause for the cancer
Calls for the paranoia
On course for the disaster or disaster
Like
Whatever that you ask for
You get it back swinging like this track via karma
You get a snap moment in the back of [?]
I made my way day-to-day to [?] any dancer
I'm cruddy but I′m calm though
Yo, can't you see it in my stance though?
Well at least un til my anxiety acts up
More wrist slits and my fix be a paper bagger




And that′s the quick fix for someone looking for an answer
I breathe through my chest and I dream through my mantra

Overall Meaning

In Benny Mails's song "Mantra," the lyrics express the power of a personal mantra to help cope with life's challenges. The opening line, "Benny on my boon, I left the tens on the curb, 420 on the moon like," refers to the influence of drugs in the rapper's life. However, instead of relying on substances to help him through tough times, he turns to his personal mantra, repeating the phrase "mind over matter" in the face of adversity. This theme is reflected in the chorus where he reminds the listener that things happen for a reason, and he uses his mantra to find meaning in his struggles.


The song continues to emphasize the importance of mindfulness and self-awareness, suggesting that a deeper understanding of oneself is the key to inner peace. In the verse, "Each piece fell apart like a fracture When I realized that you don′t answer to your actions," Benny grapples with the disillusionment of attempting to control other people's actions. Rather than cling to expectations of others, he uses his mantra to find acceptance and move forward.


Overall, "Mantra" highlights the transformative power of self-reflection and the practice of a personal mantra. Through his lyrics, Benny Mails creates a moving tribute to the resilience of the human spirit.
