about

JSWISS re-connects with frequent collaborator, keyboardist and producer Paul Bloom for a feel good record, kicking off JSWISS' monthly, Bandcamp-exclusive "First Thursdays" series.

It also features esteemed guitarist Mark Whitfield, who for decades has been a go-to for the likes of legends including Dizzy Gillespie, Gladys Knight, Quincy Jones, Mary J. Blige, Sting, Herbie Hancock, Chaka Khan and more. Joining them on the low end is Grammy Award-winning bassist Ben Williams (Roy Hargrove, George Benson, Pat Metheny, David Sanborn, Pharrell).

lyrics

Just bring the vibes I got the rap
You spin it once then wanna bring it back
And I don’t wanna brag that’s just the facts
I’m tryna meet you where you at
I dare you to hear this and not react
All peace but on the mic I’m in attack mode
Fast flows cool but sometimes you gotta slow it down on the record,
For a second
Til that second pass now my mind be dashing in a major way
With flows forever coming out that water like I’m David Blaine,
Take a breath then dive in it five minutes
Spend a life in prison see less bars than my sentences
Penmanship on a whole different time signature
Flows 5/4 6/8 9/6s
Whatever you throw at me I handle wit ease
Like the opposite of Derrick Rose knees,
And could make a comeback if I had to
Change my government name to dat dude that’s true

Chorus:
I got the microphone in hand
You know I'm 'bout to rock once again
You know I'm 'bout to rock let's it in
(Repeat)

I’m next level like a new screen
Fresh fit like a new team
I really made every move that you ever seen me do like Bruce Lee
This just growth not a new me
Even you can be a better version of the old you,
Did I change hell yea I’m supposed to
Still recognize me clear as day
Same heart principles same inner circle shoot same face
I mean this ain’t changing I look too young to have this poise
Quiet too long to have this voice
Listen too much to spit BS ahh there’s the key
SWISS fall off make believe
I’m good I got the foundation
No car to park don’t need validation
I keep myself honest
Been on track since a swipe was a token
A big fish feeling like a whale in the ocean

(Chorus)

We likes the vibe, we likes the vibe
(Repeat)

Every wants to get down
(Repeat)
