I don't know about you but I hate being called "boss" or "chief." I'm working on a new song + producer on an EP with this notion in mind. Here are the lyrics thus far for 'Who's the Boss?'

'Please don't belittle me if you can't remember my name
I've probably forgotten yours, so we're both to blame
And that's fine, forgetfulness increases with age
But so should respect for one another, don't be dismayed

It's ok, just admit it to my face ya forgot
Don't back-pedal by guessing what it is not
I won't be livid, we're all just fish in a pond
But whatever my name is, it definitely isn't "boss"

Look, some people put the "pro" in pronouns
And that's the opposite of how to make the merry-go-around
Meetings impersonal are a virtual step down
Treating our peers like they elected to be let down

With a flex of the chest, d**k semi-erect
It's those with little to no intellect and a tattooed neck
It's greetings so indirect that they're demeaning at best
It's this downright disrespect which I cannot accept

I don't know if it's tradition or you're establishing position
But "boss" connotations make me feel like trash in the kitchen
Perhaps its a way to for you to mock or manipulate
But approaching others in this way is just a bad decision

This ironic hyperbole is clouded with uncertainty
And when that's how you refer as me, it curtains on curtesy
I'm a person, not some object in your periphery
It's about time you changed up your delivery

At first I was elated thinking you'd make it in this round
You'd greet me by my first name, then we'd pop some Chrystal
But the way that you played it has me clenching my fist now
Coming off so abrasive, I hate it, I'm so pissed now

This monster you've created is creating a list now
Of dirt bags so jaded who'll never get a fist pound
You missed out, I wish you'd get the f**k out of this town
For now I'm walking away from this clown

Who's the Boss? Not me, when that's what you call me
Who's the Boss? You are, when that's what you call me
Who's the Boss? All of us at any given moment, neither are in charge
Whos the Boss? Well that's me, but only if you spell it b-a-w-s-e'

You can now play most of my music on TouchTunes! I've spent many years trying to make this happen and as of today it finally has!!!

Holy cannoli, my music is finally playable on TouchTunes jukeboxes!!! You have no idea how many years I've spent trying to make this happen. I'm elated to say the least. Search "Tim Stiles" to find me on #touchtunes
