Side Effects

[00:00.12] It's M.C. and Y.J.
[00:01.84] Another hit, okay
[00:03.88] We lookin' fine, takin' off
[00:05.74] Saw us on a runway
[00:07.48] On any given Sunday
[00:09.54] Monday, Tuesday
[00:11.54] They try to confuse me
[00:13.09] I never let 'em use me
[00:14.89] I was a girl, you was a man
[00:16.75] I was too young to understand
[00:18.64] I was naive, I just believed
[00:20.31] Everything that you told me
[00:22.43] Said you were strong, protecting me
[00:24.26] Then I found out that you were weak
[00:26.25] Keepin' me there, under your thumb
[00:28.25] 'Cause you were scared that I'd become much
[00:30.50] More than you could handle
[00:32.36] Shining like a chandelier
[00:34.61] That decorated every room inside
[00:37.00] The private hell we built
[00:39.47] And I dealt with it
[00:41.58] Like a kid I wished I could fly away
[00:44.97] But instead, I kept my tears inside
[00:48.12] 'Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying
[00:52.02] For the rest of my life with you
[00:54.97] I finally built up the strength to walk away
[00:58.66] Don't regret it but I still live with the side effects
[01:01.84] Wakin' up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout them violent times
[01:05.16] Still a little protective 'bout the people that I let inside
[01:08.91] Still a little defensive thinkin' folk be tryna run my life
[01:12.77] Still little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects
[01:17.68] (Oh, oh)
[01:20.16] Side effects (oh, oh)
[01:23.75] Side effects (oh, oh)
[01:27.73] Side effects (oh, oh)
[01:30.94] It didn't stop, no one was there
[01:33.00] Couldn't be real, had to keep quiet
[01:34.98] Once in a while, put up a fight
[01:36.84] It's just too much, night after night
[01:38.69] After a while I would just lie
[01:40.43] You was dead wrong, said you was right
[01:42.48] Did what I could, just to survive
[01:44.41] Couldn't believe this was my life
[01:46.76] Flickering like a candle
[01:48.75] Do my best to handle sleeping with the enemy
[01:52.26] Whether he was smothering every last part of me
[01:58.42] So I broke away and finally found the strength to leave
[02:01.55] Still kept the tears inside
[02:04.53] 'Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying
[02:08.13] For the rest of my life with you
[02:10.84] I finally built up the strength to walk away
[02:14.60] Don't regret it but I still live with the side effects
[02:17.70] Wakin' up scared some nights still dreaming 'bout them violent times
[02:21.21] Still a little protective 'bout the people that I let inside
[02:25.12] Still a little defensive thinkin folk be tryna run my life
[02:28.84] Still a little depressed inside, I fake a smile and deal with the side effects
