[Intro: Side Effect] Man, you got cats that you know do a lil of this Got cats that do that, but this is how we do it Side Effect, Stress, Snowgoons, let's go, yo
[Chorus: Side Effect] They all come and go, I seen it all befo They tell you what they heard, I'll tell you what I know Just from my swagga, you can tell I ain't no phony rapper Watch me tear this bitch down-Knockatomi Plaza They all come and go, I seen it all befo The difference is they tell you what they heard, I'll tell you what I know Just from my swagga, you can tell I ain't no phony rapper Side Effect and Snowgoons, Knockatomi Plaza
[Side Effect:] Yeah, I smoked a lil bit back when I was jobless Popped in a listerine strip and passed the swab test Pitiful, hypocritical, some say Strip club on Saturday night, Church on Sunday Philly murder rate is off the hook, it's so nuts Youngbuls poppin' cops up in the Dunking Donuts I used to go in there and not expect to see blood Meagan use to work in there she hooked me with free grub In my alley I hear people bust their gat off My street is littered with trash and Lotto scratch-off's No winners, all losers I'm even playin', prayin', for the day that I can go and call up the movers Yo, my cousin got caught, hustlin' by the FEDS It's a different 'tween quittin' and quittin' while you ahead New Jacks tryin' to do the same things Nino done Philly the City of Gangstaz Just wait till the Casino's come
[Chorus: Side Effect]
[Side Effect:] Yo, I'm from Philly, the City that's so gritty and raw Where before we say our name we always say the word "bul" This the bul Side Effect, sharp as a knife always stickin' out
With over 30 years of real life shit to spit about Whole truth and nothin' but the truth, you can't deny me Even if you neva met me you would still recognize me Cause I'm so real, emotional rap that you can feel I hug the mic the same way B.B. King hugged Lucille Bare with me, I'm a work in progress None the less I got my knee up ya neck and I won't let up the pressure Cause soon you gon' realize, you need me, no avoidin' Cause the cure for the snake bite is made from the poison Spit venom over tight loops and terrorize it That'll make you turn ya mic booth into a prayer closet Realize I'm a marketing genius with this rap shit I sell the same products I just know how to re-package it
[Chorus: Side Effect]
[Side Effect:] Ayo my name rang Liberty bells in every hood From Philly I write street literature like Teri Woods This is Terrence Wood, no relation Watch the company I keep cause of association Brings on participation Rhymes I spit receive full paid scholarships To the most prestigious Black Universities Majoring in Mic Circuitry and Emcee Surgery Heard of me being taken out verbally that's absurdity Seth Brundle flow, always on that fly shit Me and mics we like dogs and fire hydrants Attractions un-avoidable; it's definitely a sight to see I've met a lot of mean rappers none of them is nice as me I will sign you, neva release you Bind you to a contract, make you regret you eva tried to... Rhyme in the first place, you bore us Your wack ass verses are just devices used to space out your chorus
