This song is taken from our show:

IN TIME (2016)

lyrics

Yo it's ya boy Jordan,
Taking over the stage,
Expressing and sharing these words,
To remove all this rage.

I got my bro getting serious,
Serious and hard like buzzer beater,
Can't afford a coat?
What the hell is wrong with you, Peter?

I'm always moody and always angry,
They don't wanna be around me,
Always kissin’ my teeth,
At all my siblings' reactions.

Why have I gotta be like this,
Why have I gotta act like this,
Every time my brother moves,
All i do is think likes this.

Life’s so unfair,
Feeling like no cares,
Locking down a beast,
In this brittle pointless cage.

I'm saving all this rage,
From my brother, sister and the people.
Holding it deep in my heart,
I just feel like i gotta START.

I got friends, I got neighbours.
Asking me “what’s up?”
I got my sister pissing me off,
And it's all beating me up.

I got my teachers complaining at school,
About shit i don't even care about,
My bro managing to pay all these bills,
That's something i truly doubt.

I just can't take it no more,
I'd rather see them happy,
Instead of always closed-up,
It's all beating me up.

The other day we were all chilled
In the living-room,
Elijah gave me this look,
Felt like hitting her with a broom.

Peter played with my head,
And even dared to tell me to shut up,
I honestly don't blame him,
But it's all beating me up.

Yeah, it's all beating me up...

It’s all beating up.
