Side effect's

Side effect's
(feat. Young Jeezy)
[Young Jeezy:]
It's M.C. and Y.J.
Another hit, OK
We lookin' fly, takin' off
Saw us on a runway
On any given Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday
They try to confuse me,
I never let 'em use me

I was a girl
You was a man
I was too young
To understand
I was naive
I just believed
Everything that you told me
Said you were strong
Protecting me
Then I found out
That you were weak
Keeping me there
Under your thumb
Cause you were scared
That I'd become
Much more than you could handle
Shining like a chandelier
That decorated every room
Inside the private Hell we built
And I dealt with it
Like a kid I wished
I could fly away
But instead
I kept my tears inside
Cause I knew if I started
I'd keep crying for the rest
Of my life with you
I finally built up the strength
To walk away
Don't regret it
But I still live with the
Side effect's
Waking up scared some nights
Still dreaming about them violent times
Still a little protective
About the people that I let inside
Still a little defensive
Thinking folk be trying to run my life
Still a little bit depressed inside
I fake a smile
And deal with the side effect's

Side effect's
Side effect's
Side effect's
Side effect's
Thinking inside
No-one was there
Couldn't be real
Had to keep quiet
Once in a while
Put up a fight
It's just too much
Night after night
After awhile I would just lie
You was dead wrong
Said you was right
Did what I could
Just to survive
Couldn't believe
This was my life
Flickering like a candle
Doing my best to handle
Sleeping with the enemy
Aware that he was smothering
Every last part of me
So I broke away
And finally found the strength
To be me
I kept my tears inside
Cause I knew if I started
I'd keep crying for the rest
Of my life with you
I finally built up the strength
To walk away
Don't regret it,
But I still live with the
Side effect's

Waking up scared some nights
Still dreaming about them violent times
Still a little protective
About the people that I let inside
Still a little defensive
Thinking folk be trying to run my life
Still a little bit depressed inside
I fake a smile and deal with the side effect's (oh, oh)
Side effect's
Side effect's
Side effect's
Side effect's
[Young Jeezy:]
Hey magnifico or should I say magnificent?
Ain't nothing worth your happiness
And I ain't caring who you're with
Misery loves company so we ain't tryin' to hang with you all
Hurt you if you let 'em in
Gotta keep you sucker smilin'
Keep tryin' to play
I tell him I ain't blowin' though
Think they want me outta here,
I tell 'em I ain't goin' though
Side effect's be drowsiness,
Loneliness,
How is this?
I think the call it hateration,
What can you prescribe for this?

Forgive but I can't forget
Every day I'm filled with this
I live with the side effect's
But I ain't gonna let
Them get the best of me...
I kept my tears inside
Cause I knew if I started
I'd keep crying for the rest
Of my life with you
I finally built up the strength
To walk away
Don't regret it

But I still live with the
Side effects
Waking up scared some nights
Still dreaming about them violent times
Still a little protective
About the people that I let inside
Still a little defensive
Thinking folk be trying to run my life
Still a little bit depressed inside
I fake a smile and deal with the side effects (oh, oh)
Side effect's
Side effect's
Side effect's
