lyrics

Control Alt Delete that
Rolling to the beat and
Garbageface said “Yo!”

Murdered jerm dead
Put a bullet in his head, Ray
That’s the way she goes

I don’t want to need that
Lose me in the feedback
I don’t want to be that bro

accepting discontentment
- But can’t you just pretend?
No

I’m the type of guy
that can’t justify that
Need to plant some roots and grow

A Jeremiah divided in my head
Violent
jerm had to get smoked

Picking up the pieces that I want
as I stomp on the others
to the rhythm of the song, yo

Scars on my feet
from the shards on the street
are a bargain to me, Sold!

Instead of killing myself
I went drilling, killed parts off
and struck gold

Playing the villain in a village
full of villains
got old

So I approached my alter ego
wrapped a mic cord
around his throat

I choked that motherfucker out
put nine bullets
in his dome

“If you can’t defeat yourself
who can you defeat?
Who can you defeat?
Who can you defeat?

If you can’t defeat yourself
who can you defeat?
Who can you defeat?
Who can you defeat?”

With sullen eyes
and gutter cries
I left that other guy exposed

Now I flutter by
a cluttered sky
A butterfly in show

Fitting and suitable
That these wings I grew
are fucking beautiful, no

Don’t be surprised
if I fly by
and don’t come home

I rap and sing
and flap these wings
cause that’s my thing, hope

sprung eternal
when I murdered jerm
and learned to cope

I set fires inside
light and ignite
so

I can study
the shadows cast
on the walls of my life, smoke

signals on horizons
signify parts of me
dying, snow

is not what’s falling
That’s the ash of my past
flying home

My alter ego’s deceased
I am free
at peace, alone

I have defeated the me
the world defeated
so let’s get on with on with the show

“If you can’t defeat yourself
who can you defeat?
Who can you defeat?
Who can you defeat?

If you can’t defeat yourself
who can you defeat?
Who can you defeat?
Who can you defeat?”

I’m not afraid of dying
Pieces of me die all the time
Everything dies and we mourn the end
Jeremiah IX has been Reborn Again
