URL Badman Lyrics
Alexander, the dinner's on the table!
Alex!
Yeah, alright mum, I said I'm coming!
*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
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
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

In a track by track interview about the “Sheezus” album, Lily said the following about her 4th single “URL Badman”:
I wrote this song in the fall out from my most watched video ever “Hard Out Here” which lots of people took issue to and decided they didn’t like it for many reasons. Some of which I respect and understand and others I didn’t so much and this song was directed at one particular person and they are a twat.
I think some people, especially male music bloggers, really don’t like it when women try and venture out of being what they perceive to be a woman’s place within music which is basically to stand there and sing songs that are written for you and look pretty and wear bras in photos shoots.
