[Chorus]
Better than the REST
Better than the REST
Homie looking at me like
I'm better than the REST
Better than the REST
Better than the REST
Everybody looking at me like
I'm better than the REST
We up in a fresh joint
CURL against the end point
Now the homie looking at me like
I'm better than the REST
Better than the REST
Better than the REST
Everybody looking at me like
I'm better than the REST
Other devs ask me how I stay this fly
I said I get a lot of REST like an API
Some people play with jacks or dice, I guess that's cool
But I been writing AJAX since elementary school
I said I practice what I preach, when I learn to ball
Waiting for the day I blow up like asynchronous calls
Or a callback, a tall stack, no I never play, son
Got so much structure they call me J-J-J-J JSON
Four space soft tab whenever I indent it
I said it, I meant it, Python would error so I prevent it
When I edit 'cause I gg=G for the win
Homie emacin on me because he don't know how to Vim
Colon Q bang, I don't need to save what I do
Dang, force push an edit of the same thang
Now we on a roll, equals G, and it looks just fine
Sublime users getting dragged off my Vim Airline, 'cause I'm
[Chorus]
Dropping ACID3, like I'm try'na settle the score
All these other rappers frontin' with that HTML4
With that web dev flow, I'm try'na live up to the hype
All these rappers be stunting like "I ain't got no DOCTYPE"
CSS3, changing the radius of your border
JS food joint, asking "may I take your higher order"
Yes I can, well I guess that would make me a cashier
But your L3's full, so we ain't got no cache here
I'm back, on the track, face your imminent doom
Chop a stale branch, looking like an alpha-beta prune
Bout to call up Jenny Craig in your hyperplanar spaces
Perceptron was gaining weight in all the wrong places
And all y'all stunting, just try'na be a player hater
But I'm too busy linearly separating your data
Once I get up on that implementation you know I can't stop
Nicki looking at me like "baby got backprop"
[Chorus]
Rolling up in a 2003 Corolla
Blessed with the pattern of model, view and controlla
So hold up, before I try to teach you how to ball
'Cause before you start the server, first you gotta gem install
OK stop, now NPM start let's go
Localhost 3000, 'cause you already know
Default settings, for reasons I don't need to explain
Got more views than Drake, they call me Django Unchained
So where's the requirements, dog, you gotta show me
Sudo apt-get install --upgrade-only
Why you stuck on Node v4 , well of course it's
The only version that they had on Canonical sources
Looking weak, your home is a mess
Your repo hasn't even been updated since the LTS
Yeah boy, your ageing configuration is killing me 'cause
What kind of a developer cares about stability?
