Now Hiring
[Intro: Random]
Okay, today's to-do list: I gotta hit up all fifty of these blogs to try and promote the single I'm droppin' tomorrow. I wanna tour about two months so I need to contact all 25 of these venues and, of course, at some time, make a beat. Ughh, I need a manager

[Chorus: Open Mike Eagle]
'Cause I don't wanna be a a-hole
Too many yes men I need someone to say no
I don't have much in terms of payroll
I just wanna make music and lay low
'Cause I don't wanna be a a-hole
Too many yes men I need someone to say no
I don't have much in terms of payroll
I just wanna make music and lay low
I don't know what else to say, yo

[Verse 1: Random]
Consider this my announcement: now hiring
I need management, not street teaming and flyering
I can tweet my own links, so thank you kindly
Don't need nobody cosigning and following blindly
Cause it's getting more tedious
Dealing with the websites and media, in need of a
Manager that just won't do it for wealth
Just someone who can do more than I do for myself
'Cause some days I spend more time promoting and soliciting
Than I do listening to beats it's kinda sickening
I need someone to filter through my emails
Pick out the important ones and summarize the details
Then when I see cats and they ask, "Did you get it?"
I can say, "Nah, my manager musta hid it"
Dawg, I like Netflix and Xbox
But I'm at my PC more than cats when a desk job
[Chorus: Open Mike Eagle (& Random)]
(I need a manager)
'Cause I don't wanna be a a-hole
Too many yes men I need someone to say no
I don't have much in terms of payroll
I just wanna make music and lay low
(I need a manager)
'Cause I don't wanna be a a-hole
Too many yes men I need someone to say no
I don't have much in terms of payroll
I just wanna make music and lay low
I don't know what else to say, yo

[Verse 2: Random]
Yeah, record labels say they don't know how to market me
Need me to stay in one lane so they can target me
But they don't understand it's hard for me
I'm plugged into games and hip-hop like ventricles and arteries
I get requests to call people when they're sick
How do I respond to that without being a prick?
When someone ask me if I can pay to play
I wanna cuss 'em out but instead I opt to stay away
Times like that I wish I had management
Cuz I'm faced with the bs I can't handle it
I'm not the type to give cats the runaround
Like all these fake dudes claimin' they rep the Underground
And I can spend my time doing what I wanna do
And that's making dope records for y'all to party to
Or if I have a stalker, don't know how to handle her
I can always say, "I don't know, call my manager"
[Chorus: Open Mike Eagle (& Random)]
(I need a manager)
'Cause I don't wanna be a a-hole
Too many yes men I need someone to say no
I don't have much in terms of payroll
I just wanna make music and lay low
(I need a manager)
'Cause I don't wanna be a a-hole
Too many yes men I need someone to say no
I don't have much in terms of payroll
I just wanna make music and lay low
I don't know what else to say, yo

[Verse 3: Random]
One day, did a little experiment
When I was coming up and still gainin' experience
I wrote my bio in the third person
Pretended I wasn't me but in fact a third person
A manager, rep, whatever worked
And when cats responded, they were never jerks
Even if they couldn't invite me
They spoke to management, they spoke politely
But if I say I represent myself
My music's dope, book me, I'm gonna need some help
It's like when jobs ask you if you got experience
But no one hires without experience
So how am I supposed to gain some experience!?
I just rhymed four bars with experience
See, this is how stressed out I am, man
It's affecting my rhyme skills, man
I really, really, need management
I can't do this
(I need a manager)
