[LYRICS] A new day so I'm talking different You thanking haters really I don't see em that's tunnel vision Give you all these words for your well-being that's altruism You call em competition in a minute you'll call em victim Somebody call the doctor minister dentist somebody Got more fire and influence than gun lobbies The government don't rock wit it though it's the opposite Whatever is the truth is whatever they got a problem wit Got up in the booth and I started stating the obvious They took my words as money and went to try to deposit it, It's universal like American Express get it and invest Damn I'm on a roll let's interject, And talk about what these rappers do on the avenue It's not what you actually do but I ain't mad at you I read books that trappin do sound cooler I'm a storyteller you tellin stories like Rick The Ruler Second thought I am mad though, It's getting corny and played out they dad jokes [Talking] But dad jokes can actually be cool depending how you deliver it They flip flopping ain't that a beach wave of the hypocrites You ain't know what you needed I had to give you it The tide turns allow me to be to impetus Big words in my raps yea I graduated Not bars back we been here I'm glad you made it My flow's water to a game over saturated In the head role this king won't get decapitated Reign forever that's a balance of power The crowd [applause] give em an hour so Whether record or show, got the power of both Been a minute to build, bout a second to blow Took the long route, like I'm going deep I give you that Jerry Rice then give you that Jon B Don't listen to, what them people say They don't really know how to MC They don't give you props then it's jealousy They don't know how to rip it

Black Summer 02:20
[LYRICS] When I bet on myself I like the odds It's not a gamble it's a smart investment in some stock Safer than a triple combination locked box 8 snipers on the roof armed guards and guard dogs, A sure thing if I've even seen, The flow is kerosene to some evergreen Forever fire you could hear it from the mezzanine Black summer you gone feel the waves til the end of spring A life could change in one rotation Like a doctor bring a sense of urgency to the patience, Execute with precision keep the world at attention Hanging to every word I got em anxious, Feel like a veteran and rookie simultaneously, Forever growing but already who I aim to be, I'm a thinker so you know I'm living dangerously And know I gotta get from A to B to get from A to Z, Master the steps master the mountain I got a leg up on a lot but who's counting I used to run rabid like I'm chasing a belt Then looked around and realized I was racing myself, WHOA On a road not paved through a thick forest Strange terrain but I'm already built for it The prototype untested but a flawless run Calm in life or death situation like it's all for fun, My reputation arrives well before me And stays forever after, No fairytale or lesson I'm just dope And that's the moral of the story Putting on a facade is all that I do poorly, And I ain't workin on it, it's out of mind I'm over zeroes like I'm undefined by design Rhyme like not being a legend is a crime You could either give it no mind or give it time What I call a minimal effort you call a grind What you call a coveted spot I call it mine, Every loss I took from it what I needed Bested on occasion but forever undefeated Black Summer

All Day 02:17
[LYRICS] Verse 1: Y'all listening to the wrong people for validation Y'all stay waiting for likes comments and nominations Y'all ain't learn nothing, M-L-K got killed by the same who say he inspired a nation, Now that's a bar four Hit you like a knee to the chest while doing parkour I can't even write without living really without reading Cuz what you gonna say if you don't listen I keep my ears open and my hands closed Gripping the wheel in lanes that they don't even know Existed I don't fit in what you get in like Shaq in a Miata I execute if it don't look pretty do what I gotta It's all about the final product it's dope No kitchen whipping it's quotes My wrist flick and it's wrote The beat cook and it's spoke The crowd listen they roped The flow tippin the boat Emerged in dripping in gold All Day Verse 2: Hours alone and time passed Lookin at myself in the mirror like not bad The war goin on in my mind and I rack My brain to make sense of the change and find grasp I never said I was a better rapper than person And I get better at both with each verse it's, Phenomenal man phenomenal plans New York ahead of my time Osaka Japan Many time zones they known to rock wit your man Deal dope on stage I always got me a band, The weight of my words I breathe heavy Even worse holdin em in could be deadly, Speak loud and carry a small ego Same time equal and better than all people How you figure, Stay humble, yet I Got no ceiling, walk skys, Jedi, beast

The March 02:13
[LYRICS] Verse 1: A gun could start a war but it's won by the mind An army only strong as the cause it's behind Killing in the name of dying by the same one Served and protected while dying by the same gun, So morale is getting low When they value your body but don't value your soul Safe nowhere when you watch television Living at home's like living in prison Told you you should join if you got ambition Die at home or serving it's a suicide mission War is in the field but it's stronger in your mind Once you in it to survive then you better fall in line (Chorus) Left, right (repeat) Verse 2: Discipline what you do everyday, Do your habits match what your mouth say Your desires match up with your actions, Do you live for happiness or satisfaction Hamster wheel just going through the motions, Moved more by convenience or devotion See the glass half full or you a coaster, Got game or collecting all the posters, Don't get dunked on and tea bagged I'm executing plays everyday please believe that (Chorus) Verse 3: Hunting in the field for a beat that feels right Kill it take it home eat good that's real life Me myself then I that's the chain of command Like Malcolm by the window that's the way that we stand, Or all black with berets on, This march not a parade son, All biz no profanity It's f'd up when you gotta war for you humanity, it's real (Chorus)

Success 02:55
[LYRICS] It take 3,000 days to be an overnight success, Anything less you been blessed, Anything longer should be an honor, If you can't see it then why bother Time is no friend to no man Try to make plans get erased with both hands Gotta adjust pivot reverse and gear shift it If you could just predict and skate then why live it, I link up with the GOATs because I am one High octane with the hot sauce and 1 The greatest show but it's more than entertainment Give bars like you sitting in the court for arraignment, I give you life, and commissary Black out a month straight you thought it was February, 4 weeks 6-72 hours Every moment I'm increasing my power couldn't be prouder, You know me I peak and then I level up Half empty half full naw I need an extra cup I'm not optimistic, I don't hope it goes well I ensure it does My flow crazy like the news down in Florida I swear fiction ain't as strange as we thought it was You see the headlines, The world is on some can't believe unless you witness Reality about to put the Onion out of business, It's getting hard to tell Comedy Central got the best news and Fox News lookin like SNL I'd rather watch Nickelodeon Then watch another cartoon politician lie up on the podium, A bookcase in the crib with no television I read each book two times that's better living Very critical to survival And thus my words potent as if Paulo Coehlo had wrote the bible, My novel ideas are epic, considering every perspective Thorough like scientific method Proven and tested, calculated and never reckless My output has you convinced I never rested My moves always look like chess and never checkers I impress then before you could clap I do it better I confess any room I speak in, I'm appreciated My drive decades old never depreciated Expensive retail to keep not to resell Value sky high it's justified in the details My words reach, can't unsubscribe from the e-mail My flows resonates like the air inside of seashell Whether or not you in it you can feel the presence, Before the magazines or festivals you feel the essence Versatile awthentic any reason you could love us JSWISS M.Drix it's hot, Black Summer

about

JSWISS & producer M.Drix (a.k.a. Marcus Machado) join up for a 5-song EP that is one continuous exhibition on the fundamentals of hip-hop music: beats and rhymes. The whole thing flows together as one track.

From the first note til the last JSWISS is in beast mode, showing off raw lyricism and wordplay, while M.Drix, known as a prolific guitar player in addition to producer and solo artist, shows off his skills as a straight up hip-hop producer, providing the perfect platform for SWISS to go in with the BARS. Think Dwyane Wade and LeBron James hitting up a basketball game at Rucker Park, but in musical form.
