[Intro]
Mom: Alexander, the dinner's on the table!
[Keyboard Typing]
Mom: Alex!
Alex: Yeah, alright mum, I said I'm coming!
Alex: *Sniff* Gosh
[Verse 1]
I work at home in my parent's basement
I don't troll, I make statements
I'm not a cliché sittin' in my PJ's
Double cupping at lunch on a Tuesday
I'm like Drake, see, so don't hate me
I get vexed if you don't appreciate me
Real talk, I put the world to rights
And when I'm a big boy, I'm gonna write for Vice
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not for me, it must be wrong
I could ignore it and move on
But I'm a broadband champion
A URL badman
And if you're tryna call it art
I'll have to take it all apart
I got a high-brow game plan, a URL badman
[Chorus]
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D M-A-N with no empathy
I got a high-brow game plan, a URL badman
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D M-A-N and you're dead to me
Cause I'm a broadband champion, URL badman
[Verse 2]
Spectacles with no prescription
Short shorts with conviction
Supreme palace, APC
Sizzurp in a chalice, yeah, that's so me
I'm a London white boy repping ATL
Keyboard warrior, that can't spell
I don't like you, I think you're worthless
I wrote a long piece about it up on my WordPress
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not for me, it must be wrong
I could ignore it and move on
But I'm a broadband champion
A URL badman
And if you're tryna call it art
I'll have to take it all apart
I got a high-brow game plan, a URL Badman
[Chorus]
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D M-A-N with no empathy
I got a high-brow game plan, a URL badman
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D M-A-N and you're dead to me
Cause I'm a broadband champion, URL badman
[Bridge]
I like Jordans, Joyrich, DJ Screw shit
Complex, Pitchfork, Winnie The Pooh shit
I'm a Space Ghost Perrpetrator, bottom half of Idolator
Check for Tyler the Creator, blogespheric vindicator
A$AP, Kanye, XX remix, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, I need a Kleenex
I don't like girls much, they're kinda silly
Unless, of course, they wanna play with my willy
[Chorus]
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D M-A-N with no empathy
I got a high-brow game plan, a URL badman
I'm a U-R-L B-A-D M-A-N and you're dead to me
Cause I'm a broadband champion, URL badman
[Outro]
I got a high-brow game plan, a URL badman
