Knockatomi Plaza Lyrics - Singles - Side Effect

[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 

[Chorus: Side Effect]
