AMITYVILLE

Amityville

If Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen had a sibling, it would undoubtedly be JD Lawrence’s Skitzophrenia and its powerful song, Amityville. This captivating presentation not only evokes the nostalgia of 90s hip hop but also incorporates a funky medieval beat that adds an extra layer of intrigue. Moreover, it delivers a poignant message about mental health struggles, making it a truly unique and thought-provoking experience.

AMITYVILLE 
WRITTEN,  PRODUCED AND PERFORMED BY JD LAWRENCE

 

I’VE GOT A LOT OF ANXIETY INSIDE ME
(SIDE ME)
DEPRESSION LOOKING FOR ME
CAN’T LET IT FIND ME
(HIDE ME)
CAN I BEAT THIS
MAYBE I DON’T KNOW LIKELY
(LIKELY)
BUT IMMA GIVE IT MY BEST SHOT
LIKE I WAS SPIKE LEE

I’m from the ville what up
Amityville standup
The only horror where I’m from
Is a Blackman dressed up
They want us down, not up
The black family broke up
Like Tulsa Oklahoma
Wanna get rid of us
Now Look what you stirred up
Got me all worked up
Reminiscing about friends
I seen chalked up
If not for bad luck
I’d Have no luck
I knew your were trouble
the minute you walked up

I’VE GOT ALOT OF ANXIETY INSIDE ME

I thought about given all up
Pressing my luck
Passing the buck
It is what is
And its too much
My life wanted to touch
I didn’t need so much
but if i committed suicide
My mom would JAck me up
That black therapy
Made me a better me
Turn me to the man
you see on stage and TV
Life ain’t easy
But my life need me
Mental Health take me out
It won’t be easy

I can always go back to the hood
I got a home in the hood
Mad love in the hood
Old flame hood
Made bread in hood
Broke it up in the hood
Got four hundred horses
But they under hood
More money mo problems
Liquor don’t solve them
All depression does
Is stick up and rob him
Thought the church could help
But they got issues to
Now I just pray to God
And for thearipist to

I’VE GOT ALOT OF ANXIETY INSIDE ME
