(feat. Young Jeezy)[Young Jeezy:]It's M.C. and Y.J.Another hit, OKWe lookin' fly, takin' offSaw us on a runwayOn any given Sunday,Monday, TuesdayThey try to confuse me,I never let 'em use meI was a girl, you was a manI was too young to understandI was nave, I just believedEverything that you told meSaid you were strong, protecting meThen I found out that you were weakKeepin' me there, under your thumb'cause you were scared that I'd become muchMore than you could handle,Shining like a chandelierThat decorated every room insideThe private hell we built,And I dealt with itLike a kid I wished I could fly awayBut instead, I kept my tears inside'cause I knew if I started I'd keep cryingFor the rest of my life with youI finally built up the strength to walk awayDon't regret it but I still live with the side effects[Chorus:]Waking up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout them violent times?Still little protective 'bout the people that I let insideStill little defensive thinkin' 'bout me tryin' to run my lifeStill 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)Vacant inside, no one was thereCouldn't be real, had to keep quietOnce in awhile, put up a fightIt's just too much, night after nightAfter awhile I would just lie,You was dead wrong, said you was rightDid what I could, just to surviveCouldn't believe this was my life,Flickering like a candleDoin my best to handle sleeping with the enemyAware that he was smothering every last part of meSo I broke away and finally found the strength to leaveStill kept the tears inside'cause I knew if I started I'd keep cryingFor the rest of my life with youI finally built up the strength to walk awayDon't regret it but I still live with the side effects[Chorus]Hey, hey, heyLet's go![Young Jeezy:]Hey magnifico or should I say magnificent?Ain't nothing worth your happinessAnd I ain't caring who you're withMisery loves company so we ain't tryin' to hang with you allHurt you if you let 'em inGotta keep you sucker smilin'Keep tryin' to playI tell him I ain't blowin' thoughThink they want me outta here,I tell 'em I ain't goin' thoughSide effects 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 deal with thisI live with the side effectsBut I ain't gonna let them get the best of meForgive but I can't forget,Every day I deal with thisI live with the side effectsBut I ain't gonna let them get the best of meKept my tears inside'cause I knew if I started I'd keep cryingFor the rest of my life with youI finally built up the strength to walk awayDon't regret it but I still live with the side effects[Chorus]
