Me Against The World by Superchic
Wanna quit and give up
Simon says to pack it up
Shot down from all sides
Don't know why I try
So take this and kiss it
Goodbye won't miss it
I wanna go back to L.A.
I don't belong that's what they say
They said don't try to change the world
You're just a girl
So it's...me against the world today
I'm gonna do it my own way
And though nobody understands
I'm gonna make a one girl stand
It's not Independence Day
I can't waste time on what they say
If we believe when we have faith
We're gonna change the world someday
Back again one more time
Couldn't keep me down last time
Leaving what I know on faith
To take on the world and make waves
Still standing defiant
Maybe me against the giants
L.A. wasn't built in a day
Games going long but I still play
They said don't try to change the world
You're just a girl
So it's...me against the world today
I'm gonna do it my own way
And though nobody understands
I'm gonna make a one girl stand
It's not Independence Day
I can't waste time on what they say
If we believe when we have faith
We're gonna change the world someday
[echo] If we believe, when we have faith
We're gonna change the world someday
They said don't try to change the world
You're just a girl
So it's...me against the world today
I'm gonna do it my own way
And though nobody understands
I'm gonna make a one girl stand
It's not Independence Day
I can't waste time on what they say
If we believe when we have faith
We're gonna change the world someday

I chose this song because to me it represent Bennie to a tee. Beneatha is a strong young woman determined to be a doctor. She wants to heal. To fix. To cure. She wants to "make waves". She refuses to pay any mind to anyone who doubts her (I can't waste time with what they say) and is confident in what she wants. The way she sees it, its her against the world. She wants to be independent. This song is literally about a girl who decides not to back down from the challenges people/men throw at her and who does it her way. EXACTLY like Bennie.
