L.A. Reid - Side Effects lyrics

[Young Jeezy] [Verse 1] It's M.C. and Y.J Another hit, OK We looking fly, taking off Saw us on a runway On any given Sunday Monday, Tuesday They try to confuse me I never let them use me [Verse 2] 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 Because 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 [Verse 3] But instead, I kept my tears inside Because 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 [Hook] Waking up scared some nights, still dreaming about them violent times Still little protective about the people that I let inside Still little defensive thinking about me trying to run my life Still 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) [Verse 4] Vacant inside, no one was there Couldn't be real, had to keep quiet Once in awhile, 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 leave [Verse 5] Still kept the tears inside Because 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 [Hook] Hey, hey, hey Let's go! [Young Jeezy] [Verse 6] Hey magnification or should I say magnificent? It is nothing worth your happiness And I am not caring who you're with Misery loves company so we are not trying to hang with you all Hurt you if you let them in Got to keep you circle small Keep trying to play I tell him I am not blowing though Think they want me out to here I tell them I am not going though Side effects be drowsiness Loneliness How is this? I think the call it hate ration What can you prescribe for this? [Bridge] [x2] Forgive but I can't forget Every day I deal with this I live with the side effects But I am not going to let them get the best of me [Verse 7] Kept my tears inside Because 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 [Hook]
