Side Effects

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 (haha) 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, protecting me Then I found out that you were weak Keeping 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 this 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 cryin' 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 Wakin' up scared some nights Still dreamin' 'bout the violent times Still a little protective 'bout the people That I let inside Still a little defensive Thinkin' folks be tryin' to run my life Still a little depressed Inside I fake a smile and deal with the Side effects Side effects Side effects Side effects Vacant inside no one was there 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 were dead wrong said you were right Did what I could just to survive Couldn't believe this was my life Flickering like a candle Doin' my best to handle Sleepin with the enemy Aware that he was smothering Every last part of me So I broke away and finally Found the strength to breathe I kept my tears inside 'cause I knew if I Started I'd keep cryin' 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 Wakin' up scared some nights Still dreamin' 'bout the violent times Still a little protective 'bout the people That I let inside Still a little defensive Thinkin' folks be tryin' to run my life Still a little depressed Inside I fake a smile and deal with the Side effects Side effects Side effects Side effects Hey Magnifico or should I say Magnificent?
