Ben Willms - B.V.A.

Yo
You ever meet someone
Where you haven't exactly met them yet, but...you feel like if you did
There's a pretty averagely decent chance
That the two of you would hit it off?
For anyone who's ever been in this awkwardly specific position
This one goes out to you
Back when your homeboy was homeschooled
My mama overruled
My choice to sit at home and play alone
Like an antisocial fool
And so I found myself in a tennis league
With tennis geeks saying "Ben is weak"
My reflexes, so to speak,
Were that of a snail on Hennessy
So no, that didn't last long
Gave it a good go, then I was gone
Didn't do sports for years expect bowling
Yes, that's a real sport, and you're wrong
Anyhow
Didn't watch, didn't play
'Til 2019's WTA
Saw highlights in my feed,
"Okay, I'll try it"
I was blown away
By this new player they sent in
Straight from Canada, representin'
I got a shallow-ass grip when it comes to the game
But her plays were unrelentin'
And was she good-looking? I'll answer "Yes, cute"
And here she comes to the rescue
Goodbye sports ignorance
And I'll say g'day to B.V. Andreescu
Turn on the TV, ay
To watch the PBA
At least that's what I did
Before I learned of B.V.A.
But now I'm hittin' play
On WTA
To watch the greatest player
Hailin' from the GTA
B.V.A., B.V.A.
I don't know what to say
I used to suck at tennis
And I probably do today
But I'll say if I may
I think that we should play
As long as we do doubles, yo
We might have chemistry
Fascinated, infatuated
I looked at a late-night show
But I'll say that it wasn't really late night though
Gotta keep an eye on the sleep schedule
Yo, give me any young player who blows up
And I just know her ego's gonna go up
And I just know that her pride's gonna show up
Soon as the lights and the cameras glow up, no?
Then there's Bianca, tough as a Tonka
Servin' it sweet, call her sportier Wonka
But Fallon is grillin' and she's only spillin'
Canadian-laden humility
Talk about humble, she don't crumble
Under American stadium rumble
And she obviously doesn't fumble
On air for the world, now that's an ability
Oh
30-40-Love
I said 30-40-Love
Tennis ball, Andreescu's volleyin'
Ben has fallen, can't get up
If one day we should meet
I hear that she produces
Show her how I dropped this beat
And then we'll go and drop some deuces
Wait
Urban Dictionary says that ain't a tennis term
I guess that makes it clear that I still have a lot to learn
If B.V.A. is listening, I am equal parts concerned
And also honoured
I'll be working on my speedy serve return
Turn on the TV, ay
To watch the PBA
At least that's what I did
Before I learned of B.V.A.
But now I'm hittin' play
On WTA
To watch the greatest player
Hailin' from the GTA
B.V.A., B.V.A.
I don't know what to say
Don't wanna be backhanded
'Cause I know that's not your way
But I'll say if I may
I think that we should play
As long as we do doubles, yo
We might have chemistry
If we move right along from the late night show
Here's what'd be wrong with a date night though
I'm aware of the trouble if we played doubles
She may as well play solo
Til I play at about ten percent
Of her skill we'd kill the time we spend
Off-court - Short list to get things rolling
Number one: I could teach her bowling
Or we could go up to the CN tower
And spin in the restaurant for a few hours
Then up to the rooftop, work on serves
Til CTV reports tennis ball showers
Just to practice teamwork
But the fact is I'm kind of a dreamer
We could try getting my skills meaner, cleaner
But you better keep an eye out for Serena
Turn on the TV, ay
To watch the PBA
At least that's what I did
Before I learned of B.V.A.
But now I'm hittin' play
On WTA
To watch the greatest player
Hailin' from the GTA
B.V.A., B.V.A.
I don't know what to say
This woman's on a roll
Like she is freakin' BB-8
And C-A-N-A-D-A
Is lucky, I must say
To harbour talent
Like what has been shown by B.V.A.
(B.V.A)
I hope I wasn't too offensive with my approach
(Woo)
But to be honest
She'll probably get the point
