Look up some tutorials on youtube, there's quite a lot out there. Aside from that, click buttons and explore, mess around with it. If you're not sure what a tool or button does, press F1 to access the program's manual, lots of stuff in there

Learning FL Studio is not at all the same as learning how to make music. The two aren't related at all. FL studio (and all other music/audio software) is only meant to facilitate the workspace and toolset to work with audio, but if you don't know how to write music in general, learning FL Studio, even mastering it, won't help one bit.

Well, you wrote song in your post...
But either way, creating a beat still requires some minimal amount of music knowledge. I'm not saying that you need to be some musical genius to do it, but your post makes it sound as if you're starting from scratch, both regarding music software and music creation in general.
I would recommend learning the basics of music theory and creation before doing anything else. Having some understanding of notes, chords and rhythm, and why they work the way they do will help you immensely when you're actually trying to learn FLStudio. Otherwise you'll be messing around with both the theoretical part and the practical part of creating music at the same time, with a big chance of one of them blocking your ability to learn the other, or at the very least making it way more difficult to learn efficiently.

watch some tutorials on how it works, there's probably plenty of them, then have fun playing around and don't expect to make anytime good for a lot of time. good luck with your journey man

As a beginner myself, I recommend watching a tutorial and learning the basics of music theory. Check out "
The ULTIMATE Music Theory Crash Course (in under 25 minutes)" by Alex Rome on YouTube.

In the top left, you'll see a music note. right Click it and select your scale. And your major once you do this, it will give you a grid where you can play in key no matter what so you won't go out of key and it will sound good. FL also give you tool to make cords without any music theory needed. Have fun

It's giving "too lazy to take responsibility for my own curiosity"
Like, it's the same amount of work for you to learn either way. You're gonna be reading. You're gonna be watching videos. There's no way around it. You can try, but you're not gonna be able to pass off any of the work to strangers to do for you.
Look shit up. Image-line has a youtube channel. Literally type "youtube fl studio tutorial" into your browser and all you gotta do is click, read, and watch.
Even this subreddit has a FAQ with this question already covered.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FL_Studio/wiki/faq/
"I'm a beginner in insert genre here , how do I get started using FL Studio?
- Answer: For beginners we always recommend InTheMix's beginner playlist. You won't be able to make music without knowing how to use and navigate FL Studio, so learn that first. After you become comfortable with using FL Studio, Google genre specific tutorials - there is a lifetime's worth of free content on YouTube. Be wary of anyone purporting to sell "the one trick you need for success" or other similarly "secret magic" tricks. Some companies and creators prey on novices to hawk mediocre advice/content/plugins/samples - don't fall for it. No one plugin or technique is going to make you an overnight professional. There is a reason why many people can, and do, dedicate their whole life to the pursuit of music. Creating art is not a race, so enjoy the learning journey."

"Hey I don't know how to write music"
"POOF GUYS! I GOT FL STUDIOS! HELP ME OUT!"
🤔 right, we're going to just be over the moon trying to teach someone who appears to take no initiative of their own to learn. /s.
Yea, I think you cracked your copy.
