about

‘CRAZY’ is an ode to that one ex who tried (and failed) at gaslighting and undermining your needs…but you peeped the pattern and chose to move differently. While navigating an ending of a connection with a past lover, they wrote this song as a "receipt of the expectations vs. reality" both parties provided in the connection. Building off the Lo-Fi, Boom Bap and Neo Soul essence of the record, NYALLAH recalls an ex-lover’s inconsistency, disrespect, and lack of accountability.

lyrics

You said you wouldn’t play games like the other niggas
Yet you ain’t open to the bigger picture
I know trauma might be eating you inside
But I ain’t the one to take out on!

And sometimes I wondered if you even trust me
When I said “wait a second, just breathe”
Why were you pressed
When I just needed space?
Need the space…

You said you wouldn’t be like this
But now I hear ya talking yo shit
You quick to run up on a new — ah!
(Wait!)
I’m not gonna call those girls yo’ bitches

But honestly, yeah I could lowkey see
That you baby, had low low self esteem
With all the drama that you gave me
Almost had me feeling crazy

Crazy…crazy…
Baby…baby…
Crazy…crazy…
x2

(Yeah, yeah… interlude

You pried
I swear I didn’t wanna fight
(Yet you tried)
To overstep and justify
I didn’t like it, shawty was wildin’
(wildin’…)

To be fair
I know she said she really cared
But how dare, she raise her voice or try to compare me?
To the ones before? Please.

You said you wouldn’t be like this
But now I hear ya talking yo shit
You quick to run up on a new — ah!
(Wait!)
I’m not gonna call those girls yo’ bitches

But honestly, yeah I could lowkey see
That you baby, had low low self esteem
With all the drama that you gave me
You almost had me feeling crazy

HOOK
Crazy…crazy…
Baby…baby…
Crazy…crazy…
x2
