Sonny Stevens - The Effect lyrics

[Verse 1] When I touchdown in '96, I was born looking for answers I came up in this small city, that's so slim on the chances So why the hell am I still grinding for something so amazing? Man I gotta do it, gotta slave up til I know we f**ing made it baby 6 months is not enough to take away what I've been through I shoot that at my ex girl, and I won't stop til it hits you That I won't change, sorry I'm the n***a that I am Tryna break though with this music just to take care of the fam Now that's a story, a cla**ic story, a ma** of stories About my n***as catching statutories, now that's some stories I could tell from back to back, but off the bat I came to ball And its crazy just realize that I haven't seen it all With my team here and we so down Like 30 deep when we roll out Cause these n***as creep And these girls will do whatever for the dough now And that shows how, everything is not what it appears to be Man I came up and now its not that hard to see [Bridge] This world is crazy This world is crazy Aw sh**, this world is crazy This world is crazy [Hook] But let me tell you what it's done What it's done (repeats) [Verse 2] What it made me Caking up like pastry Doing me no matter what til I run the town like Jay Z And I'm turnt up on the daily, try to turn me down, b**h make me My boys all in the building, and we chill Or just maybe we flexing for satisfaction from all the sh** that we gave up All the time that we spent, working to get this pay up Coming off of a break up, I'm driven to drive in Benz' And make her see I'm the sh**, ain't no need for no lenses when I Bring it to the street though, pop shots like a free throw Wondering if I could speed it up on this beat though Flow so bad that its evil, Under a living of maniac kinda people So we trying to make it kilo, dope, just to make dough when we need more That is the living they all trying to compete for Making an effort to k** them all! Cause I've been through, way too much to stop now It took a thousand losses just to realize what I got now So to all the girls that did me wrong and all the doors I've been locked out I wanna say my thank you cause you help me figure out [Bridge] [Hook]
