They call me MetamorphoSisyphus
The caterpillar left his pit
and went out on a vision quest
Listen it’s this butterfly’s mission
to be disciplined and not get killed
Destined to push this rock uphill
for eternity
In today’s sermon
we’re opting for something permanent
I buried jerm in the dirt
the day I murdered him
I killed jerm and the reason is this, bet
That piece of shit ignored my cease and desist letter
I got the recipe to empty the emptiness
and the best me is yet to come
blessed is my destiny
cause ahh yes progress
is all I’m investing in
I’m not jumping off of rooftops
Pacing at the precipice
facing it with a message in a bottle
that states - I have a lesson plan to follow
Move aside I’m not just rappin’ it’s happenin'
I traded in my suicidal thoughts
for happiness

You can bet I’m on some different shit
Stare into my eyes
MetamorphoSisyphus
Jeremiah IX
Letting go is difficult
and there is no design
MetamorphoSisyphus
Jeremiah IX
We must let go of the distant past
when we’re learning to fly
MetamorphoSisyphus
Jeremiah IX
The work isn’t finished
gotta live my best life as a butterfly
Broken winged butterfly
Bi-polar Boulder
MetamorphoSisyphus
dies over and over
I’ve been reborn
so many times
Just leapt out depression
with an opening line
like - “Yes each breath
so fresh and divine
blessed, so precious
this life that is mine”
But in the blind spots
danger it hides
cause Jeremy doesn’t know
when Jeremiah’s arrived
I got a bi-polar boulder
and I push it uphill
When I recognize jerm
that fucker gets killed
When Jeremiah takes the reins
it gets strange
I medicate him
That’s the way I stay safe
I am the Universe
energy expanding
Host personality
Jeremy, man thing
Depression = jerm
Oppressive hurt
Mania = Jeremiah
Lesson learned
Reborn deformed, see horns, breathe
Reform, restore, be more, Me!

The work isn’t finished
gotta live my best life as a butterfly
When you’re fighting keep fighting
and don’t end it
Suicide is never the answer
to those tensions
Detrimental parts of yourself
get death sentence
Grass is greener on the other
side of the fence, it’s
a friendship I’ve forged with my senses
Apprentice to life
I explore this dimension
Replenished high vibe
I adore this immensely
Intentions set to
gratitude and contentment
Hi my name is Jeremy
I am enough
MetamorphoSisyphus
Diamond in rough
Fistfuls of dexterity
shining it up
Cyclical polarities
paradigms in flux
I got this, I’m good
The only lion near
A pioneer discovering
Jeremy’s higher gears
Wise mind clear
IX tribe guiding steering
MetamorphoSisyphus
it’s why I’m here
Reborn deformed, see horns, breathe
Reform, restore, be more, Me!
