Hello Mr Hughes. - Hi. - My name is Richard, I'll be interviewing you today. Ok. So I've had a look at your CV. Given your experience, in all honesty, Tell us how you might approach working for a company like ours? - Honestly? - Yeah. Ugh... I'll probably turn up early everyday for my first week Just to have you thinking I'm disturbingly keen, But the very next week, it's unlikely I'll be heard from or seen till at least 9: 30 it seems And while you're telling me we need to work as a team, I'll be doddering around in the world of my dreams. And as for a dress code. What? Hell no! If you want me in a suit, then I'll turn up in jeans. You might think that I'm half witted, But when it comes to myself then I'm generally a harsh critic. I take on projects I can't finish And leave people hanging right till the last minute. - That sounds a bit unprofessional. - So what? Would you prefer it if I said I'm like a robot? I'm just a broke joke blokes with no job Who can't afford what his life costs, I'm begging you to... Hire me! I'm not civility personified. I never even had a job I liked But please, Hire me!

This video needs more views and likes. Syntax DESERVES to be mainstream. Lest he is appreciated beyond his time, like the greatest of artists. Still, I wish him the best and all he deserves in this life.
Metaflow - this isn't the way to go about it. No one ever got attention spamming comments. Ever. Hone your skills, work out how to do something that sets you apart from the crowd, study the legends and develop a great live show. Don't make it all you do - have a back up plan. Remember the world is much bigger than your town, and you have so much time - don't be in a rush. Good luck.
@Glitch667 hahaha, i was like who said that shit and than i went to the next page and realised it was me - but still, it's not about the lyrical content or the instrumental, the tone is similar if you listen
Synners you animal! Met you at the Jazz Cafe gig, rapped a load of your bars back atchya. I got my own bars now! Check the channel. Love this 'Hire Me' track though, next album'll be a neccesary purchase of course. Anyway yeah this is just great. :)

I don't really get it

This video started off with a MC'donnalds commercial for me... ohh the ironi! Big up Syntax! Dope as fuck!
Listened to this track before i was hired, listened when i was hired, listening to it now i've been sacked.

Hello Mr Hughes.
- Hi.
- My name is Richard,
I'll be interviewing you today.
Ok. So I've had a look at your CV.
Given your experience, in all honesty,
Tell us how you might approach working for a company like ours?
- Honestly?
- Yeah.
Ugh... I'll probably turn up early everyday for my first week
Just to have you thinking I'm disturbingly keen,
But the very next week, it's unlikely
I'll be heard from or seen
till at least 9: 30 it seems
And while you're telling me we need to work as a team,
I'll be doddering around in the world of my dreams.
And as for a dress code. What? Hell no!
If you want me in a suit, then I'll turn up in jeans.
You might think that I'm half witted,
But when it comes to myself then I'm generally a harsh critic.
I take on projects I can't finish
And leave people hanging right till the last minute.
- That sounds a bit unprofessional.
- So what?
Would you prefer it if I said I'm like a robot?
I'm just a broke joke blokes with no job
Who can't afford what his life costs,
I'm begging you to...
Hire me!
I'm not civility personified.
I never even had a job I liked
But please, Hire me!
See I'm just trying to be the honest guy.

Please, Hire me!
Go on, Hire me!
Anyone? Hire me!
I won't increase your turnover.
I'll turn up hung over,
Having spent the night on some sofa.
It doesn't matter if I'm drunk or sober,
I'm in the same shirt with the funky aroma.
You can try and call me but I won't pick the phone up
I'll be online chatting with some other stoners
Talking about how shit my job is
But at least I get paid just to sit and talk bullocks
I went to uni twice but that's irrelevant
Did it for the hell of it
Middle-class decadence
Well hey, I've got some mass degrees
I was a regular, face on a whole lot of party scenes.
My bank's still charging me
For some money those cunts loaned me back in 03
- Cunts!
- Please let me know you're keen.
Or just slip me some dollar and I'll leave I'll be so discrete!
I'm not civility personified,

Well done syntax. You have got so fucking good.
