Bekasi's Trap Lord Young Lex Finds His Inner Motivational Speaker In 'Office Boy'

It's a rags-to-riches story, boy.

Indonesia's own trap star Young Lex is back with another hustlers' anthem with a uniquely Indonesian twist. The drug game may by the key to riches in the US (it's what puts the "trap" in trap after all), but here in Indonesia, the game is more about slinging cups of coffee and pushing brooms than slinging keys and dropping bodies.

While other rappers may wander down this well-tread path, regardless of whether they know their Pyrex from their GORE-TEX, Young Lex keeps it real with a high-energy banger about rising from the position of Office Boy to owning the whole damn office (boy).

It's how we get fire like "After school working as an Office Boy! / Look at you now with your own office, boy!" and "We come from the bottom, boy! / It doesn't mean we're low, boy!" (Note: We translated those lyrics).

Young Lex gets a lot of milage out of that "boy" rhyming trick, but, honestly, we don't even care. Where else are you going to find a trap song that name drops Zainal Arifin, Citibank Indonesia's Office Boy to president director superstar?
