Phases - Nasty C, Rowlene

Why contain that they say I am crazy

I am blazing through these phases

Why contain that they say I am crazy

I am blazing through these phases

I had so much to lose

But I couldn’t stand losing you

You caught me at a time when I was battered and bruised

Had my spark stolen and my heart broken

And you were the only one with the tools

It was hard holding up, my art slowing up

My head sinking right in the pool

All my broads rolled off of me

All my closest friends turned and hit me with the deuce

Biggest reality check and the longest of destiny calls

I never thought that I’d lose all the ones that I love

Just to say that I made it this far

I never thought that I’d kill the whole game in a minute

A round of applause, hats off

You’ll never say I’m a fluke or a one hit wonder or another one that slacked off

I was all about you

Like I had nothing to do

Feelings caught out in the air

I had something to prove

So into you I was screwed

Can’t even focus on anything I’m skipping school

Hustling money for juice

To pick you up from your place to the club I was cool

My exes call me a fool

But I never gave 'em half a fuck, let alone two

Why contain that they say I am crazy

(But I gave three fucks about you)

I am blazing through these phases

(All I cared about was you, you)

Why contain that they say I am crazy

I am blazing through these phases

I was all about us

Love and compassion and trust

Finally got to cuff the one that was always my crush

You was my angel as dust

You were everyday drug, my escape from the club

You were my homie, my bruh

You were my number one plug and we didn’t give no fucks

You had a young nigga sprung

You made a youngin' go dumb

We’d caress and we brush

Then we’d talk reckless and fuss

Then everything just got tough

And we couldn’t adjust

Friends got between us and just wouldn’t leave us

And my word to Jesus I hated their guts

He was just testing our trust

But fuck, I hated that shit

I was all about you

Like I had nothing to do

Feelings caught out in the air

I had something to prove

So into you I was screwed

Can’t even focus on anything I’m skipping school

Hustling money for juice

To pick you up from your place to the club I was cool

My exes call me a fool

But I never gave 'em half a fuck, let alone two

Why contain that they say I am crazy

(But I gave a fuck about you)

I am blazing through these phases

Why contain that they say I am crazy

I am blazing through these phases

Why contain that they say I am crazy

I am blazing through these phases

Why contain that they say I am crazy

I am blazing through these phases

Okay, okay

Alright, alright

Okay, okay

Alright, alright

Are we just gonna stay like this forever?

Floating?

I’m serious, my heart is curious

'Cause I’m confused when we’re together

Feels like I am choking with all these emotions

You maybe the one for me, I think it’s pretty plain to see

When he said more money, more fucking blessings

She said more money, more reckless friends

And she said more money, more sex and extra extra credit, extra braces,

diamond necklaces

And I know you love me but I will never let my crush crush me

And I know I love you but poppa said don’t let your crush crush you

And that’s why I contain that they say I am crazy

I am blazing through all these phases

I contain that they say I am crazy

I am blazing through all these phases

I contain it, I am crazy

I am blazing through all these phases

I contain it, I am crazy

I am blazing through all these phases

I contain it, through all these phases
