Lyrics
Side Effects
One in his hand, and one in the other,
Man damn homie, he said I need anotha
Pass the drinks, more alcohol
See that keg, I want it all!
He started to drink, and started to hurl
Soon drugs and alcohol became his world
So much deception and so much wrong
Wanted to fit in, but didn’t felt he belong
Kept on doin’ it, jus’ for the price
Rollin’ fake friends is like rollin’ double dice
Rollin’ on your life, and claimin’ higher stakes
Not listenin’ was one of my mistakes
Can’t change the past, but I can help the present
Tell ‘em don’t do drugs as a man or adolescent
Nothing stays the same, only change stays the same
I know I’ve gon’ astray cuz I claim to my gang
And Michael walz, you know I still got luv for4 you
I still pray every night hopin’ for you
To come back, but it’s a dream that replays
I wanna meet you at the end of my dayz
The side effects are too much to bare
Given in this world you wonda who cares
Well I miss the old friendz who died from ruff endz
I pity those dealers, even those who drive benz
Every minute someone’s dyin, every second someone’s cryin’
I’m here lyin’ and wonderin’ what the future holds for me
What is it that you hafta see, what’s it gotta be, you and me faded
But1 never had to be like this, I miss seein’ your young face
I still think your atchur ol’ house chillin’ in yo place
Missing you from day one, you were gone
I didn’t cry tears cuz I though it was wrong
I was in deception, I was in denial
From my broken promises I should’ve been on trail
The Counselor talked to me to try and give help
I was mixed inside, I didn’t know what I felt
The girls cried, out loud and in the open
I wanted to take my knife and start pokin’
Pokin’ my own flesh, and spill some blood
Hear my body fall, wanted to hear a thud
It didn’t happen, I was scared to make the fall
I still sit back and stare at the stars
Are you watchin’ over me, cuz I still feel lonely
Certain points in time you were my only homie
Don’t have anyone to turn to
Everyone’s out here to burn you
Want you to know, you’re one of the best to me
You, Mike, and Me we were tha perfect three
Man why homie, you have to leave me?
Now I don’t have no place to be
Ridin’ forever, now Ridin’ solo
Caught up in fashion, so I’m wearin’ polo
Even if I make it big, What do I gain?
A lifetime of hurt, sorrow and pain
Can’t bring you back, I wish I could
I would do anything for you,
I should visit your grave whenever I can fly-by
I’ve wanted to talk to you, jus’ to say hi
Missin’ your face, feelin your pressence
remember us clownin’ when we were adolescents
Play punchin’ in school and in class
They separated us, cuz we disturbed the class
How did we pass? Who cares we had fun
I wish you were here so we could do another run
I can’t believe this whole mess, the stress that I’ve gotten thru
Crystal was dyin’, but you took your life thru dude
So basically I lost two friends at tha same time
I wanna see you both at the end of time.
Yeah, everyday that goes by, I keep thinking it’s gonna get better, and I’mma
Heal, but It’s like everyday I only miss you two more and more. Rest In Paradise
We’ll always luv you!
