Sometimes I'm feeling way up Sometimes I'm falling drown Sometimes I'm swimming circles Sometimes I'm bout to drown Sometimes I got the flavors Sometimes I'm in a drought Sometimes I wanna break free Sometimes I love this town Sometimes I gotta roll up jus so I don't fall apart Sometimes I'm staying sober jus so I don't fall apart Sometimes I be so hopeful bout my quality of art Sometimes I wish I never made a song and could restart Sometimes I don't do anything at all waste a whole ass day Sometimes I think too hard and then my noggin starts to ache Sometimes the music hitting and I'm nodding to the base Sometimes I jus be sick of it cause it all sounds the same Sometimes me and my time be moving at the quickest pace Sometimes we hit the mud and the whole wagon starts to break Sometimes I can't write nothing prolly cause I'm in all day Sometimes we got the one and they start bragging bout my tape Sometimes I'm feeling way up Sometimes I'm falling drown Sometimes I'm swimming circles Sometimes I'm bout to drown Sometimes I got the flavors Sometimes I'm in a drought Sometimes I wanna break free Sometimes I love this town Sometimes I wanna wait Sometimes I want it now Sometimes I want it straight Sometimes don't say a sound Sometimes I'm in my space Sometimes I'm on the ground Sometimes I'm feeling great Sometimes I'm jus a mouse Sometimes I sit and pray Sometimes I look at God and frown Sometimes I gotta say you need to step it up or change your lane Sometimes I turn a beast and I start digging in my fangs Sometimes I love your songs and then I turn into a fan Sometimes I want the most for you Sometimes you don't deserve it Sometimes I see you showing love Sometimes I see you lurking Sometimes I wanna open up Sometimes I'm closed by burdens Sometimes I wanna die but then again Sometimes is perfect

Selling potions out my parents upstairs It's your local alchemist tryna make gold out thin air Questioning my practices I really don't care As long as it never interferes with my work And if it do I got a verse for you big head Swear I came prepared jus let me get my notes in set Told the team to get a crowd but they ain't notice yet Clear my thought and then make sure the microphone is checked You thought I wouldn't gather myself become an artist and learn? Bring power to the pen my mind is scarred with chemical burns Handle this with caution boy you better read the terms You ain't never heard a flow so perfect straight from world of forms Always cooking up new recipes you better stay informed Everyday I feel the fire I be banging at the forge I dare you test my mettle know my tongues the sharpest blade Excalibur in fact I wouldn't even pull my sword I could put you down with less bitch stop acting like a stray It ain't your time to die wipe that feral look off your face I got the remedy for that go give my album some plays I ain't charging a thing except that you make change No one will do it for you they don't care This ain't a trick I'm playing we all gotta be prepared For the miasma in the air that's penetrating every surface Every person every business every faction all components Those inflicted you can see they mouth be foaming for attention Edging closer to the edges look at me I'm boutta fall I don't give a fuck jump to the progress you a wall To the outer world a monk I jus wanna see it all But still I gotta stay involved if I hear it Ima heed the battle call You gotta feel it to install it Let go and trust the process Forget about the wallet And make those dreams reality Me I'm seeking solace and a sense of normality A simple life like hobbits still a pinch of insanity Won't ever shake some habits it's tied into my anatomy I didn't learn it at all it comes naturally to me I could put you down with less bitch stop acting like a stray It ain't your time to die wipe that feral look off your face I got the remedy for that go give my album some plays I ain't charging a thing except that you make change

Ima dopefiend Smell that gas know I'm approaching Fuck a slice I want the whole thing looking like I know things Want a verse I'll let my soul sing Ima dopefiend Behind the smoke and mirrors I'm jus coping Down the River Styx we all floating Going with the flow my minds an ocean Ima dopefiend Got a problem you don't know a thing Boutta wake up anyway you stuck in potent dreams Jus follow light streams out the cave there's plenty openings Ima dopefiend I might smoke your whole pack and never get you back I'm jus joking The sour what you lack he got an eighth full of reggie mixed with crack! Ima dopefiend I want the whole thing I'm jus coping There's plenty openings I let my soul sing My minds an ocean I'm jus joking I'm jus joking Dope, dope, dope, Ima dopefiend Dope, dope, Ima dope Ima dopefiend We all jus chemicals and proteins Catch me hiding in a smoke screen Caught inside the in between That's M.I.A gone with the breeze High as planes that's everyday since I was like 14 With the vapors Ima sage been a Shahmin since the early days Had a Little Vision then preceded to break out my cage They say I'm able so a thousand canes Smoking in the cradle like a mountain chain Make another crater I'm about to change But Ima need the paper and some pocket change This pack don't buy itself and I need the loudest strains Stuck inside myself watch me dull the pain Someone rolled another L I jus puff puff puff Homie going crazy like enoughs enough! Someone rolled another L I jus puff puff puff I jus puff puff

In a world full of false idols Most the time what you call yourself it ain't the right title Making mosaics I'm still picking out the tiles Sacred intuition this a masterpiece of style I want some answers so I'm digging through the files If I think I find it then I'm running down the aisle Get behind me if it resonates inside you Treat my art like it's a science had to study all my idols You feel the pulse? This shit is vital like the ratio of spirals At my center looking out the chi radiates from my spinal Got a vessel why you idle? Came here for a reason now you living in denial Sowing plenty seeds like I been living off the nile Made my own oases once a desert now fertile And I won't ever settle but I need my own isle A place I can return where my streams of thought all compile This world it been my canvas From the palette to each stroke I'm jus working through this madness This world it been my canvas If I'm ever feeling down then I'll jus write another stanza This world it been my canvas I don't ever got an optic every picture taken candid The world it been my canvas Sculpting meaning out the earth maybe I can help change this planet Come join the team and watch the colors flow Finding beauty in a stream looking at reflections I'm seeing you in me I really wanna know What's your passion, what's your goal, how do you plan to address it? Me I'm working these aesthetics every session tryna make a rainbow I'm still searching for my meaning like a pot of gold But I don't know man I could change tomorrow One day I got a soul the next I say I'm hollow Hopeful in the summer but it fades away with cold Motivated in the spring cause the change it be contagious You gotta wait for it to bloom jus have some patience Something in the air has got me walking in amazement Think I caught the bug like I was dancing through meadows All this life in different stages proves that growth comes slow Open up don't close what would be the point in stopping when we're so damn close Sometimes you jus gotta go... This world it been my canvas From the palette to each stroke I'm jus working through this madness This world it been my canvas If I'm ever feeling down then I'll jus write another stanza This world it been my canvas I don't ever got an optic every picture taken candid The world it been my canvas Sculpting meaning out the earth maybe I can help change this planet

Another star shining bright in the night Looking at it from the ground oh how the sky it invites Took advice from the moon I usually hide when it's light And at night I'm in bloom watch me fly out of sight Don't pay me mind I'm alright I jus need to be alone These thoughts they keep me captive and I ended up stoned Like the asteroids around us hear they never been this close Fishing off the crescent while I'm puffing on this bone Ima make my dreams work I hope you don't leave yours alone They might shrivel up and die cause you hung them up to dry Rather fill out all their forms and secure your piece of pie Oh my, they got you thinking you ain't up to size Separate from the giants past you don't classify That's what they'd have you think to keep the status quo alive When comets come it's hard to bare the change and they might die I say let em roll, heads will fly, earth will be jus fine Staring at the rising sun Some say that's the one Born from God herself all the stars shining bright until they're overwhelmed by darkness And I can feel it creeping in Pulling me back down to the abyss I be tryna make a starship so I can escape from gravities grip It's kind of sad to admit that I'm alone in this space Nothing but a pad and pen to keep my ass in it's place Make sure my noggin's still straight While I pursue the fates clairvoyance I know where I stay no matter what my body poised in This vessels kind of damaged but have faith we'll make this voyage Jezeb he steer the ship and Jacob Shaw jus be toying with buttons and switches Tryna find a pattern that lights up the whole damn system While my other half is driven, more perceptive, smoother ridges Cabin fever standards I been in my head for days on end it's feeling like a prison

Jus some sight seers Feel a type of way when the light clears Jus some sight seers Feel a type of way when the night clears Falling up into the sky I use the clouds as a disguise And a cushion smoking every day till I die Peaking past the silver lining wondering when I'll come to ground But I would rather have my space jus never come around Set my own pace, have my own thoughts, do my own thing Fuck your little wave I got the higher ground like escalades Up till now I jus been setting stage I'm ready now let's celebrate Won't you join me on this escapade I can feel the great escape drawing near Don't need no signs cause it's blatantly clear Might have shared the wheel before but now I'm ready to steer If you still unsure I promise you got nothing to fear This train of thought will take us places you might never get near So lend an ear, station at the end of the pier I know you'll love it here Embracing everything that's been gathered in this sphere We jus some sight seers Jus some sight seers Feel a type of way when the light clears Jus some sight seers Feel a type of way when the night clears I can see things speeding up so I'm lacing up the runners Practicing my flows so they rain down on you like thunder Patter, patter, patter oh the rains how they uncover Hmm... help me sow this seed like Ima mother I would sacrifice my steed to bring life to the land Still got pagan tendencies like that bible in hand There's a revival at hand and it's best you be aware Cause if you silent then we can guess that your ass is too scared I can smell fear in the air everywhere what a bunch of pussies Jus cause you don't respect yourself I'll hit you if you push me In real life and a verse I be at constant war like wookies With myself and the world a child soldier not a rookie I been at the door but bookies they don't think I'm looking quite right The music sounds off why he writing like he's clever If they played this in the club all the girls would flee together And they ain't even wrong but this substance I wont censor Not never Jus some sight seers Feel a type of way when the light clears Jus some sight seers Feel a type of way when the night clears

I need to do it yes I do I need to put on for my city and my crew yes I do I need to get the whole set in something new yes I do Jus to prove I was never clueless calculated every single move I'm not new to this I'm almost 22 Me and Freddy we been plotting since way back in middle school Now the pressure building up I think we actually got some movement Caught inside like gruel in barbecues we building revolutions no illusions Jus the real I'm still the student down to hear if you can prove it I consider every word that breach your lips a type of music So I'm grooving to it never losing focus I'm immune to getting boredom Cause I'd like to be amused and not controlling or reducing What another person truth is rather cut it up and snort that shit get under your influence Always been the type that's pulling out the flowers that seem easily uprooted You ain't certain on your stance then you at risk to convolution And no matter what your passion never let fake friends dilute Cause it's usually the tyrant in the room that's full of sewage He got the most to say but I ain't ever see him do it I been through it with em when my season come around they truent Still I'm steady dropping bombs on all these folk like Harry Trumen No distinction we jus blew it my real thinkers see the fission in the movement Started as a split decision then it formed into a movement Went from jus a movement to a mindset of constant improvement I need to do it yes I do Yes I do

Rust belt kid swear I mutated Since a cub I been one with creation I'm in love with your touch gotta be sated 716 where I'm at I'm pinned Still in my home town striving Wanna raise the city up and watch they eyes liven Neo Tokyo we all got reasons for surviving Swear we fallen angels feel the resonance inside him Sneaking street to street like ninja gaiden If I catch your ass outside I got some secret flows I'm hiding Chain together blows and leave your ass prescribing to my shows Then I head back home couple homies loudest dro Nothing major going on brod we jus started But compare us to those other cats you'll see the widest margin Digging through the trash to bite off someone elses garbage We running through the grass coordinated like some spartans Eyes are on the prize I know my pride can outsmart them Sizing up my meal you take the head I'll get the carcass We gorging on our dreams that we brought up they disheartened Why you try and leave my imagination discarded Rust belt kid swear I mutated Since a cub I been one with creation I'm in love with your touch gotta be sated 716 where I'm at I'm pinned Take it all in At some swamp doing nothing we jus boggin' This whole city used to be full of marshes Stagnant ponds full of dead organic matter bring catharsis Steel barred obelisk, rusted shells of former selves now fill the river side how ominous In the last days we harmonous a homonym of homonids I swear I ain't the same as you we got a different cognizance I be snaking through it while you can come barely fit your head in Put on a mean demeanor in reality I'm Severin The came they plugged our head in you can see it you can shed it If you can't find the board we'll point it out we some veterens The education system is the first case of evidence Second up is organized religion nothings more irrelevant From elections to the president the down fall seems evident

What you will ain't what you want What I wanna do right now is smoke a spliff and lean my seat back But that ain't gonna get me to the place I will to be at Gotta make a change and real fast Feeling vices gripping deep down know I'm bout to be trapped Ima relapse... Another hit of acid I might detach From everything around me cutting off close friends and family I don't need that At least for now I gotta make it through another valley And then I'll be back Let's hope I don't run out of battery put myself through hell to get a deeper understanding On the low like sleeper cells they can't defeat what I'm financing The slightest chance to tweak the canon I'll be laughing to the bank And cashing in I can sense it coming like bad accidents Lets get it cracking Jezeb he never been a pacifist I'm bout that action Some might say I be a catalyst the world it been my canvas and I'm painting cause I'm mad at it What you want ain't what you will sometimes you gotta swallow pride Keep your eyes on the prize we gotta climb steep hills If you ain't up to task then why you even come along If you ever hold my will I'll put your ass where you belong I been waiting all day for the climb Better yet some years how I long to be heard Put it in a song I'll be fine Early morning will is strongest I be chirping like a bird Been getting better with my bars because I practice everyday Used to focus on wordplay but now that's jus a second thought If you can't get the plot then I need to rearrange I don't jus talk to talk if it's one way I'll disengage But this is music guess I'm supposed to keep you entertained I ain't complaining this the game I came in fucked around and made a baby And Jezeb it be his name.

about

Jezeb Buffalo, New York

Artist from Buffalo, New York. Part of the Operation Infinity collective. I like to describe my art as therapeutic rap as I started my craft as a coping mechanism. Would best describe my art as a conglomeration of various elements of Boom Bap, Spoken Word, and Lofi. Thank you for checking me out. ... more
