Disconnect
Beefy Lyrics

D-I-S-C-O-N-N-E-C-T
Spelling out the word "disconnect", emphasizing how frustrating it is

Baby can’t you see
Addressing someone (possibly the listener) and pleading for them to understand the frustration

Without the net yo this mc
Referring to himself as an MC (rapper) and expressing how he relies on the internet to perform his music

Might just go on a killing spree
Exaggerating the frustration by invoking a violent image

Woooo!
Expressing excitement and emotion, possibly indicating sarcasm or frustration

I lost the Internet
Stating the obvious and emphasizing how the loss of the internet is affecting him

I hate the disconnect
Outright expressing his disdain for the situation

Morning yawnin’, wake on up
Setting the scene and detailing how the day is starting

Cause I know my inbox all filled up
Already feeling overwhelmed with the amount of information he needs to catch up on

Grip the mouse, turn on the screen
Getting ready to start the day and use the internet

404 windows looking back at me
Encountering internet errors and feeling helpless

Now hmmmm what could this be?
Questioning the issue and feeling unsure of how to fix it

Status: Connected on LAC
Confirming that he is connected to the internet but still experiencing issues

But MySpace refuses to load
Sarcasm and frustration at the outdated website still being used

I pray that it’s just being s-s-slow
Expressing desperation and hoping for a simple solution

Hit the garage, reset the router
Taking drastic measures to try and fix the internet

Call it a rooter for short time laughter
Joking about the situation and adding humor to alleviate the frustration

Then back to my seat I sit
Resuming the day and hoping it's fixed

So I can download brand new beats and shit
Explaining why he needs the internet so badly

But no, seems that my life is cursed
Feeling dramatic and hopeless about his situation

And I only have an hour before I have to work
Adding a sense of urgency and how time is running out

Gotta check out Hipster, Please goddamnit
Expressing a specific website he needs to check, and how important it is

Coke can, find it, grab it, slam it
Describing his actions to amp himself up and stay focused

Wikipedia entries to edit
Explaining one of the ways he spends time online

And read blogs of peeps that are way more pathetic
Reading blogs of others to feel better about himself and avoid his own situation

But I’m stuck in the stone age now
Feeling outdated and helpless without the internet

Mesozoic area, T-Rexs abound
Using an analogy to describe his situation as prehistoric and full of danger

Without those tubes I’m clearly a wimp
Acknowledging how dependent he is on technology

Just wanna read comics on Digital Pimp
Expressing his desire for something simple and enjoyable online

But the gods of the net are being a bitch
Feeling like the internet is against him and how frustrating it is

I’m throwing a fit, I refuse to submit dude
Being defiant and protesting the internet issues

What would YTCracker do?
Referencing another rapper to inspire himself

So I take off my pants, take pics in the nude
Getting absurd and trying to distract himself from the problem

But how am I gonna post em up in the thread
Realizing how he can't even fulfill this silly desire without the internet

No Internet? I’d rather be dead
Hyperbole and how he feels like he can't survive without the internet

Can’t log onto Skype. Can’t log on to AIM
Listing popular chat platforms that he can't currently use

And did I win my last fantasy football game?
Remembering that he has personal life connections and obligations tied to the internet

Never been a fan of the disconnect
Restating how much he hates the situation

Charter Cable hates me, I get no respect!
Placing blame on his internet provider and how bad the service is

Without the net I’m just some dude
Acknowledging how his internet presence is a major part of his identity

With a condom and spermicidal lube
Using humor and absurdity to highlight how boring he is without the internet

IRL I’m nobody
Stating the reality of how he is perceived by others without the internet

Basically my fame is a fantasy
Acknowledging how his internet fame doesn't translate to real life

Can’t leave the house, end up in a street fight
Joking about his lack of social skills and how unsafe it is for him in reality

All because I’m all about the Nerd Life word life
Acknowledging and embracing his identity as a nerd

Firefox is just where I belong
Jokingly implying that he is defined by his internet browser

Without these the tubes I couldn’t write this song
Acknowledging how integral the internet is to his creative process

So Heeeeey! Up for war driving?
Suggesting a way to try and solve the problem

Where I’m crying someone’s thriving
Making light of the situation and how he feels hopeless compared to others with internet access

Sadly TC is full of hicks
Calling out a specific online community and how it doesn't work for him

And the people at the wifi spots are dicks
Frustrated with how he's treated when trying to access wifi

My fat ass stays at the casa
Acknowledging his lack of physical activity and how it reflects his dependence on the internet

And sadly moan my fallen master
Exaggerating his sadness over the loss of the internet

And smoke another cigarette
Looking for comfort in another unhealthy habit

And ask why I’m not famous yet
Sardonically questioning why his internet fame hasn't translated to real-life fame yet

Off the point but I digress
Acknowledging that he's getting sidetracked but continuing on anyway

But I’m still a big fan of exposed breasts
Admitting to another distraction/interest

I don’t own porn in a physical form
Acknowledging his reliance on the internet for this type of content

And there’s not much else to do when Beef is bored
Admitting how little he has to do without the internet

Drop to my knees and I ask for some guidance
An exaggerated image of how helpless he feels

What can I do when the net is silenced?
Asking a rhetorical question and feeling even more frustrated

Hardly a prophet, saw no vision
Acknowledging his lack of foresight and ability to fix the internet

So I lumbered on down to the kitchen
Painting a picture of his lazy, unproductive behavior

Watched Entourage and quoted Ari
Using another TV character as a way to connect since he can't connect through the internet

Then spent good time with Katamari
Listing a game he's playing in order to illustrate how he spends his time

Called friends who I knew partake
Making plans with others who also enjoy the internet

Then I got Playstation, and we got baked
Continuing to entertain himself with TV shows and games

Napped after we played some slayer
Detailing how he connects with others through gaming and shared experiences

And woke up several hours later
Continuing the narrative of how he spends his time without the internet

To my surprise and shock I found
Adding suspense and tension to the story as he discovers if the internet is still down

That this piece of shit Internet’s still down!
Expressing anger and frustration that nothing has changed
