Side Effects
K.H.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Popping a pill
How do I feel
Losing myself in them side effects
Shit is surreal
Ripped and I'm peeled
All this is 'cause of the side effects
Walk on the ceiling
What is this feeling
Fucked up from these side effects
I can't believe this
Slur while I'm speaking
Walk up to the scene and I'm popping a bean
Mixing the lean with blue and the pink dolphins
Now I'm coughing
Don't do this often
Show out for the day come alive in the night
Cool out with the bae say she wan' be my wife
She down with the shits and she love how I move but I don't want ya bitch
Give that hoe back to you
Tell me she love me but I'm on my Drake shit
I'm sorry to say it I just wanna see this bitch naked
But these pills got me thinking
Just like I'm enlightened
And I'm super fucked up
Can't no longer fight it
Poppin a pill
How do I feel
Losing myself in them side effects
Shit is surreal
Ripped and I'm peeled
All this is 'cause of the side effects
Walk on the ceiling
What is this feeling
Fucked up from these side effects
I can't believe this
Slur while I'm speaking
Lifted and twisted
Seen Donner, Dasher, Blitzen
Going stupid with Cupid
Xans white like fucking Christmas
Afflicted from addiction
Side effects from all the pilling
A savage with some baggage straight chilling like a villain
Cause I'm tripping blurred vision
Consciousness is slipping away
Live for today
Dodging the bull
Saying olay
Hands in the air like its ok
Live with no care
Fuck what you say
Call it the wave (We call it the wave)
Sip potion called ocean
Get sick from all the motion
Eyes open, fucked up
I think I'm overdosing
Just hoping I can see my next morning
Start yawning
Mind going and now I know I'm zoning
Popping a pill
How do I feel
Losing myself in them side effects
Shit is surreal
Ripped and I'm peeled
All this is 'cause of the side effects
Walk on the ceiling
What is this feeling
Fucked up from these side effects




I can't believe this
Goddamn my mind's a wreck
