(feat. Young Jeezy)


[Young Jeezy:]

It's M.C. and Y.J. 

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

I was too young to understand

I was naive, I just believed

Everything that you told me

Said you were strong, 

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,

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 effects



When I space am I still dreaming 'bout them violent times?

Still little protective 'bout the people that I let inside

Still little defensive thinkin' 'bout me tryin' 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)



It didn't stop, 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 wasn't wrong, said you was right

Did what I could, just to survive

Couldn't believe this was my life,

Flickering like a candle

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

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



When I space am I still dreaming 'bout them violent times?

Still little protective 'bout the people that I let inside

Still little defensive thinkin' 'bout me tryin' 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)



Hey, hey, hey

Let's go!



[Young Jeezy:]

Hey Mafnifico or should I say Mafnificent?

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' tho

Think they want me outta here,

I tell 'em I ain't goin' tho

Side 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 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

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



When I space am I still dreaming 'bout them violent times?

Still little protective 'bout the people that I let inside

Still little defensive thinkin' 'bout me tryin' 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)
