(CHORUS 1) Ya' probably not used to a performer being so direct/ But I can't put gas in The tank off yo' respect!- You better had wrote the check! Keep the water & the soda/ I told ya', “Make sure PEOPLE know about the show!” If you're the promoter- (Verse one) …Wanna make this message glue…Unforgettable/ Yet respectable as…Somethin' that should be said to you- Lessons due…Before you're torn to smithereens for nitwit actions/ …Things to know when Entering this business- Fashion yourself as a professional with a credible/ History as well as a reputation that is impeccable- Don't be bookin' a show if only for-dollars hard-up/ Lookin' for dough? Get a degree, or apply for a job at Starbucks!- …More to focus on that's NOT What you're promotin'/ Best be sure to soak in knowledge on artist before approachin'- Knowin' I do this for a livin' PLUS It's MY livelihood/ So talk to me like I'm somebody Who MIGHT be good!- Send me a proposal…I'll respond upon gittin' this/ Maintain contact, even if with Single sentences- Sign the contract! Show can be Low budget/ But a performance with NO duckets? Won't cut it!- Don't rely on the door to fulfill what the agreement is/ Treat me with same respect shown to those you think are geniuses- YOUR job? Promote! Sayin' THAT shouldn't offend you/ Fill the venue? And we won't have An issue…- (CHORUS 2) Ya' probably not used to a musician being so direct/ But I can't bring groceries Home from yo' respect!- You better had wrote the check! Give the booze to the openers/ I told ya'...“You're paying for my SKILL LEVEL!” If you're the promoter- (Verse 2) … Motivate toward makin' sure that the show is great/ Carry it, hold it straight instead of attempting to throw ya' weight- Because I'm be wonderin' how much actual pressure can yer/ Shoulders take following my reaction if my dough is late!- ...It's not in my job description to take it lightly/ No amount of pleading or excuses can alter my psyche- All I should have to worry about is some dope rappin'/ So don't go gettin' arrested on the night of the show, Captain!- …We made a deal, & we both got Our jobs to do/ ALWAYS do MINE, AND some, so I shouldn't have to follow you- And your investor around the venue askin' the other performers/ “Do YOU know where they went? Did YOU receive YOUR payment?!”- Shaken, dazed in amazement when I gaze ya' blazin'/ Stankin' dank & tankin' alize & engagin' in groupie chasin'- Sayin' rate ain't what you relayed to my agent in laymen statements/ I'm blamin' YOU! NOT playin', the remainin' should be takin' out ya' an*s!- …I noticed the aroma of your Rookie scent/ When only promo was a week-before FaceBook event- Openers? Wack! But when not paid even THEY go nuts/ Should've gotten a percentage when you changed the Date on us!- …Flopped! But PAY ME! I don't care what the reason is!/ Business over feelings: obvious YOU don't believe in this!- Lose clientele when I negative recommend you/ And IF we meet again, there WILL be an issue!- (CHORUS 3) Ya' probably not used to Minnesotans being so direct/ But I can't pay my rent on-time With yo' respect!- You better had wrote the check! Take your hand off my shoulder/ I told ya', “Don't LIE to the artist!” If you're the promoter-
