Side Effects (feat. Mariah Carey)

(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

(Mariah Carey):

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

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

(CHORUS)

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

Wakin' up scared some nights

Still dreaming 'bout the violent times

Still little protective' bout the people that I let inside

Still little defensive thinkin' folk be tryna 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 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

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

(CHORUS)

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

Wakin' up scared some nights

Still dreaming 'bout the violent times

Still little protective' bout the people that I let inside

Still little defensive thinkin' folk be tryna 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 Magnifico, or should I say Magnificent?

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

Bbe drowsiness

Loneliness

How is this?

I think the call it hateration

What can you prescribe for this?

(Mariah) (2x):

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

(CHORUS)

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

Wakin' up scared some nights

Still dreaming 'bout the violent times

Still little protective' bout the people that I let inside

Still little defensive thinkin' folk be tryna 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)
