about

Nephie connected with Yona Marie and Hurricane Ceasar on the internet during the pandemic earlier this year and ended up bringing the two artist together on this track - the entire song was completed in separate studios with Nephie leading the way and organizing everything by combining the powerful lyrics and singing and rapping of Yona and Hurricane with a beat that brings refreshingly authentic feeling and realism to the listener.

lyrics

Mmmmm
Yeah Yeah
Hey
Yeah
Mmmmm

Love has its complications
I never know what’s real
Just had to trust my heart
Trust what I can see and feel
Love has its obligations
Be true to your own words
Sometimes those truths are hard
But tell me even when it hurts

Complicated
I hate to say it’s like that
But sometimes we swing out of sync and we just have to fight back
Solid foundation, but the walls showing slight cracks
But we just have to fix it, cuz you everything that I lack
And yeah we make mistakes, but we young what do you expect
School don’t teach you how to love, when the world’s on your neck
And you feeling stressed, you’re not at your best
You want to build a home, but you need a check
Pressure to succeed, weighing whatcha need
Contemplating do you stay, or leave to chase a dream
It makes you want to scream, cuz how do you explain it
Like yeah I want to love, but how do we maintain it
I ain’t Superman, it’s hard to keep it all together
And I feel guilty, thinking I might just give up forever
You are my lifeline, something I could never sever
So can you just say something? Can you make it better?

Love has its complications
I never know what’s real
Just had to trust my heart
Trust what I can see and feel
Love has its obligations
Be true to your own words
Sometimes those truths are hard
But tell me even when it hurts

Maybe we’re not thinking this through
Maybe we’re too focused on not wanting to lose
I hate that you’re stressed from me having to choose
Between picking my dreams or me sticking with you
So we don’t talk about the future we don’t make any plans
But I don’t want to lose you to a whole ‘nother man
And I know I sound selfish, but that’s just how it is
Cuz a part of me would die if you had someone else kids
So we stuck in this limbo, cuz I won’t make a choice
Always staring out the window, I hear pain in your voice
Trying to keep this thing together, but it’s getting destroyed
Are we lying to ourselves, trying to fill up this void
Do you need to take another path
Maybe you need to meet another man
Someone who needs you and understands
That you never come second to no future plans

Love has its complications
I never know what’s real
Just had to trust my heart
Trust what I can see and feel
Love has its obligations
Be true to your own words
Sometimes those truths are hard
But tell me even when it hurts

Yeah
Tell me
Ooooh
Tell Me
Tell Me

about

Nephie Columbia, Maryland

Growing up in the DMV close to Baltimore exposed me to so many different people, different styles, different ideas, different sounds. It helped me find my community who have the words to go with my music

For years now my music's been private but now finally after 18 years of real life experiences, real life choices, I’m ready to open up the doors into the world I have escaped to.
