Effects
It's M.C. and Y.J.
Original
Another hit, okay We lookin' fine, 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
Original
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 Keepin' me there, under your thumb 'Cause you were scared that I'd become much
More than you could handle
Original
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
Original
'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
Verse 5
Original
Wakin' up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout them violent times Still a little protective 'bout the people that I let inside Still a little defensive thinkin' folk be tryna run my life Still little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects
(Oh, oh)
Original
Side effects (oh, oh) Side effects (oh, oh) Side effects (oh, oh)
It didn't stop, no one was there
Original
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 a while 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
Original
Do my best to handle sleeping with the enemy Whether he was smothering every last part of me So I broke away and finally found the strength to leave
Still kept the tears inside
Original
'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
Verse 10
Original
Wakin' up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout them violent times Still a little protective 'bout the people that I let inside Still a little defensive thinkin folk be tryna run my life Still a little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects
(Oh, oh)
Original
Side effects (oh, oh) Side effects (oh, oh) Side effects (oh, oh) Hey, hey, hey Let's go!
Verse 12
Original
Hey Magnifico or should I say Magnificent? Ain't nothing worth your happiness And I ain't caring who you're with Misery love company so we ain't tryin' to hang with y'all Hurt you if ya let 'em in Gotta keep ya sucka 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 effects be drowsiness
Original
Loneliness How is this? I think they call it hateration What can you prescribe for this?
Forgive but I can't forget
Original
Every day I deal with this I live with the side efffects But I ain't gonna let them get the best of me Forgive but I can't forget Every day I deal with this I live with the side efffects But I ain't gonna let them get the best of me
Kept my tears inside
Original
'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
Verse 16
Original
Wakin' up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout the violent times Still a little protective 'bout the people that I let inside Still a little defensive thinkin folk be tryna run my life Still a little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects
(Oh, oh)

Side effects (oh, oh) Side effects (oh, oh) Side effects (oh, oh)
