1977 05:43
November 3rd 1977 the jerm was born while being strangled by his umbilical cord within two years his parents were divorced and of course into government housing dirt poor with just two brothers and a mother comes that us against the world type mentality that later got him off on technicalities in courts that once looked for the source of his abnormalities and he would count the days away like calories when he was locked away like masterpieces in art galleries like a music box with a dancing ballerina but no batteries words like inmate and prisoner were held sacred he had earned a reputation that fit with his self hatred he hated the world so he'd fuck it like he made it his girl and say that nothings gonna save him from her his mother taught him everything but how to be a man cause she can't his father just taught him to be a cancer and damage everything he gets in his hands and then abandon every single friend and his family his role models ripped on whole bottles whatever you call it family of alcoholics and college was never an option cause his calling was always getting right up and then falling he followed in the faulty footsteps of his father he saw shackles and chains as accolades and didn't bother to change he's overdosed on purpose twice cause something wasn't worth his life suicide was always on his mind he would rehearse it by the mirror and blurt rhymes like "Friends just give the worst advice fuckin' right I'm cursin' I'm a person I'll diversify and hurt somebody worse than I'll converse it in my dirty mind I'm the perfect guy to get Jeremy Aaron Bertrand murdered by" He was the spawn of Satan at times yes with his devilish horns and that emblem on his chest D for discontentment or even depressed dejected detested completely defective degenerate demented dented dead now superhero costumes cost you so he rents his mother called him Jeremy but you can call him jerm till this virus inside of his mind gets murdered spittin' lyrics reflecting his human spirit like mirrors some metaphors are closer than they appear clothes and appearance don't make the man nor does a song a ghost disappears if she was here she'd tell you I'm wrong November 3rd 1977 Jeremy was born with a halo and invisible devil horns remember jerm like he's here in the present when he gets torn from his body and mind forevermore pretending words might be so iridescent that they absorb up the essence that he's yet to implore defending sentences said in succession senselessly emptying presenting me by pressing record they say karmas a bitch but the feminist in jerm wouldn't degrade a lady or harm her a bit she said "Your music has confused me like a partial eclipse in my apartment which is carpeted with..." before she finished he noticed scars on her wrists she said "...bloodstains cause some days I carve at my skin our suicidal tendencies dependencies..." she said "...my mother always told me that its only in my head but its my soul or something out of my control and I hold onto it tightly everywhere I go" she said "I appreciate your music man it really helped me grow and I've identified with every single thought you ever wrote" And karma turned around and walked away before jerm could tell her thank you that's so nice of you to say and that connection means a lot to me like hockey and pot or dropping songs but the carving at your skin young lady its gotta stop you've got problems or so it seems you're not gonna solve maybe you don't wanna listen baby you just wanna talk she was fading in the distance so he followed her for blocks to this broke down apartment complex looking like the Bronx so he's knocking on the door of apartment 22 on a dilapidated balcony backdropped with a stunning view the door creeps open he sees smoke and leaps forth no she's sleeping and steam from the shower's deep now somethings written on her chest so he peeked down eyes open freaked out on some "Get out you creep now!" it says 1977 and it's carved into her skin as she recognizes him he recognizes her as him as well he starts freestyling as he opens her blouse and every single word is being carved into her "Ow" he says there must be layers of text she starts reciting rhymes that weren't even kept and says "Come on Jeremy Aaron Bertrand take me to death, lets have sex" she knew what she was doing thoughts of regret I gotta jet this lady knows every thought in my head she said "There's no escaping karma cause its cause and effect and Jeremy jerm that's something that you've gotta accept so lets address that" she said as she lowered her dress strap "November 3rd 1977..." she says "...my birthday" he was stunned as he tried to recover but in the first place and worse case his thoughts were discovered by her perverse taste for the hurt and pain they've got for each other as her dress hit the floor he noticed that there was more he said "My whole life story's dependent upon this whore?" karma, at least he didn't call her a bitch she said "Yeah ya did Jeremy man I'm all in your head remember you're the one that needs to listen to common sense and reason and even me karma the chick you called a bitch cause were grieving it has nothing to to with leaving but touching your inner being nothing to do with me" She disappeared so quick its like she never existed but he hears her whisper lyrics off the scars on her hips she disappeared so quick its like she never existed but he hears her whisper lyrics off the scars on her wrists she disappeared so quick its like she never existed but he hears her whisper lyrics off the scars on her hips she says "November 3rd 1977 the jerm was born while being strangled by his umbilical cord" March 11th now 2006 she says "The scars on my skin are nothing to be ignored" November 3rd 1977 the jerm was born and his first words were Mama abort November 3rd 1977 Jeremy was forced from his mother becoming a mere mortal

I’m sick of hearing rhymes about gangsters and guns I was raised as a gentleman thanks to my Mom she’s an angel who supported me whatever I’ve done always given love and proudly called me her son love can be lighthearted but it also comes as cumbersome and doesn’t come as easy to me as it does for some I love you mom and thank you for your thankless dedication and admire your naivety and patience cause face it (x3) I’m the type that puts his fist through a wall frustrated just to resolve this hate that sits in his skull Jim Riel Jr. was a blessing in disguise and my response to him was he was messing with our lives like a man just undercover takes advantage of our mother like a man who doesn’t love us meaning Steve and Josh my brothers but he wasn’t he was trusting he was loving he was funny he’s my buddy and I love the guy no one can find a kinder guy a giving man to hear him speaks uplifting and I love the guy As kids Josh and Steve constantly obnoxiously accosted me it never bothered me I bothered back it was our own attempt at fathering each other bothering each other we had wrestler fights and King Kong Bundy hurts and Josh and I would stay up half the night and play with wrestlers (x4) They called me names like Jem, Jemroast and Moo (x4) I’m the type that puts his fist through a wall frustrated just to resolve this hate that sits in his skull You look a lot like your father did long hair and the beard my parents are weird I contemplate and stare in the mirror Surname Bertrand I was born Jeremy Aaron to a mother and father who would become a single parent now you learn to grin and bear it but you know it’s apparent you’re embarrassed all the little fucking traits you inherit You look a lot like your father did long hair and the beard my parents are weird I contemplate and stare in the mirror (x3) I’m the type that puts his fist through a wall because capitalisn’t and I’m resisting it all Love can be a blanket that you smother with and I’ve discovered that I’m a lot like my mother is Love can be a blanket that you smother with and I’ve discovered that I’m a lot like my mother is In my early years I’d have wandered lost if not for my little brother Josh we were tighter than a tiger and it’s cubs tighter than a buyer with a lighter and some drugs tighter than a stench grave tighter than a french braid tighter than the bond between the student and the sensei tighter than a stench grave tighter than a french braid tighter than the bond between the student and the sensei tighter than the scent Glade tighter than the cement paved tighter than the tenth grade tighter than the rent paid tighter than a suffocating noose high above a scuffled pair of shoes and a note that reads “I have had enough of the abuse drowning in a sea of my excuses I’m useless I’m sorry” We can’t sustain this fast a pace this acid taste this acetate this aspartame this clash of race as millions pass away in a pandemic I class as fascist hate and when I say it you should see the fucking look on masta’s face I’m not allowed to say that Bush is a fascist but I won’t beat around the bush the cushions your asses and I’ll light a fire from a verse of the book of matches Bush is a fascist Bush is a fascist I speak my mind and seek to find a sleek design to free the sleeping sheep in time free the sleeping sheep in time I rap with a vision a socialist opposed to capitalism close to it though I’ve been enclosed and imprisoned but those in the know know it’s capitalisn’t Love can be a blanket that you smother with and I’ve discovered that I’m a lot like my mother is Love can be a blanket that you smother with and I’ve discovered that I’m a lot like my mother is I’m growing old and involved with the anger and depression that I hold in a ball in a clenched fist with which I punch these holes in the walls I’m dense thick hence this is supposed to be all but it isn’t is it? you’re never finished when you’re living for the minute I’ll admit it I joke in spoken poems overdose on open quotes product of a broken home thought of as a… Rap is my release as each beat I smash to pieces catastrophe just has to be defeated tackling these travesties while grappling with demons unravelling this speech for those that seem to need to read it meandering and travelling these alleyways and beaches these valleys and these peaks these living city streets Vancouver’s pretty sweet rain instead of snow how much cooler could it be? you just stand still on Granville and get yourself some weed astounded I found it the mountains abound downtown quarter ounce Surname Bertrand I was born Jeremy Aaron cursing swearing got my mouth washed out with soap it was gross I can still fucking taste it in my throat I suppose I’m supposed to ignore it I chose to explore it I roam and I forage through fucking forest floors of foliage holy shit holy shit is right Jeremy only when we fight fairly homies in my nightmares be controlling my life rarely do I even really feel alive barely getting by

Drugly it’s the kick-addiction-quick-fix love me I am suffering from symptoms of something I have begun to call the sickness so come close as the dirty infected jerm spits It’s like a sunny afternoon dude a couple of doobs ain’t nothing to it but you call it abuse I get loose you shouldn’t talk it till you walk in my shoes and get through it it’s obnoxious that you’re wrong in your views and that’s true see rum was my gateway to drugs through fun when the sun comes up there’s no place to run but numb sometimes I wanted to taste a gun and dump dumb crimes I guess I was chasing something huh Stunned minds never harder done by unwind no one ever comes by numb drunk high I got a record and made some records with effort I disconnected and severed from everything will be better with beverages drugs cause like love it is never enough and that sucks I’m stuck in a puddle of mud I splash up I’m befuddled as fuck I act tough needing cuddles and hugs and back rubs not drugs can’t get stuff like love for a couple of bucks and puff that’s why trouble keeps bubbling up erupt volcanic ash I’m covered in dust and plus not good at math I subtract the trust and give it back through my raps in an act of lust I smash mattresses back to factory trucks impregnating pages with poems about my past then picking up a microphone and turning them to raps kick-addiction-quick-fix learn not to relapse suffer symptoms of sickness the jerm forever active It’s like a rainy afternoon dude a bottle of booze chewing shrooms and moving to a lot of good tunes melodic and smooth use forgot about you use cut up and bruised youths with nothing to do use I’ve hit rock bottom then got up and hit the bottle claiming statements like I promise I’m not an alcoholic honest I’m a product of the spots where I was brought up and the thought that to my father man I probably wasn’t wanted I was haunted by the promises he made that didn’t come I would numb myself with drugs come down with rum and get a buzz now my brothers seem to suffer like this smothered in addiction been talking to my Mother she doesn’t know how to fix it now my brothers seem to suffer like this smothered in addiction been talking to my Mother she doesn’t know how to fix it I’ve hit rock bottom O.D.’d and felt death and I still couldn’t stumble humbly up twelve steps they're saying “please don’t succumb to those needs it’s not healthy” couldn’t be what you wanted of me and that’s selfish and that’s hard to admit the needle pricks in the fetal position needing a fix that sick addictions kicked in sixth edition scripts painting pictures of instances in greys and blurs concerned jerm now prefers to remain alert it hurts it’s work but it’s worth it and working perfect I’m such a hypocrite listen this is ridiculous I’m missing the point licking a joint and flicking Bic at it I’m sick of it at times and wanna quit but then I didn’t it’s infinite I’m diminished near finished here any minute hi my name is Jeremy and I’m not what you think I am cause actually right now I am trying to make amends

about

These songs were written and recorded between 2006-2008 in Vancouver, BC. I made most of the beats myself and recorded most of the vocals with a $9 microphone. This album was never completed as I abandoned it when I began working on my debut studio album Jerm Warfare. A few of these songs were mined for material for that record.
