Phases

[Chorus: Nasty C]
Why contain what they say I am crazy
I am blazing through these phases
Why contain what they say I am crazy
I am blazing through these phases

[Verse 1: Nasty C]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Nasty C]
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

[Chorus: Nasty C]
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

[Verse 2: Nasty C]
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 my 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

[Pre-Chorus: Nasty C]
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

[Chorus]
Why contain what they say I am crazy
(But I gave a fuck about you)
I am blazing through these phases
Why contain what they say I am crazy
I am blazing through these phases
Why contain what they say I am crazy
I am blazing through these phases
Why contain what they say I am crazy
I am blazing through these phases

[Break: Rowlene & Nasty C]
Okay, okay
Alright, alright
Okay, okay
Alright, alright

[Verse 3: Rowlene and Nasty C]
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

[Chorus: Rowlene]
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

[Outro: Rowlene]
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
