Nasty C - Phases ft. Rowlene

Nsikayesizwe David Ngcobo, better known by his stage name Nasty C, originates from Durban in the KwaZulu-Natal Province. He started rapping at the age of nine, having been influenced by his older brother who was a producer at the time.
Between 2013 and 2015 Nasty C dropped three mixtapes,
One Kid A Thousand Coffins, C L.A.M.E. and Price City. But it was the one-off single, “Juice Back,” and the ensuing remix (featuring Davido and Cassper Nyovest), that propelled him into the spotlight. In 2016 Nasty C delivered his inaugural album, Bad Hair, and gave it away for free. The critically acclaimed award winning commercial re-release, Bad Hair Extensions, featured four new tracks, including a collaboration with US rap artist, French Montana.

dude, the video doesn't suck because it lacks naked women and alcohol. It's the overdone mirror effect thing...that and the fact that somehow it doesn't seem to live up to the greatness of this song

[@Tsomy]

This is for everyone not understanding the video and calling it boring or bad: The song is about emotions and how they are up and down, difficult to express and not always clear. That is what they did with the video, that is why the mirror effect is so heavily used, to show how these emotions are unclear, weird, up and down side-to-side. Once you understand the concept of the song and video you'll have a greater appreciation and better understanding of what has been put forward here. It is not a simple thing to look at, you need an analytical eye to really get it because it's not something that you just see on the surface.

Hook: Nasty C] 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 [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 Queen Naija 'Hate Our Love' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified Queen Naija 'Hate Our Love' Official Lyrics & Meaning | VerifiedJELEEL! 'DIVE IN!' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verifiedkzbin.info/www/bejne/eYK7nGSkd7Z8msV5NHYPEN 'Polaroid Love' (Live Performance) | Open Mic [Pre-Hook: 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 [Hook: 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 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-hook: 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 [Hook] 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 [Break: Rowlene and 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 [Hook: 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
