So many times I done fucked up a good thing
Tryna be anybody but me
People pleasing, been charged in the first degree
And since a yungin' I was running with wolves
And even though you might agree
I only like it when it's coming from me
Cause what you know about nights I pulled knifes out?
My eyes blacked shut, testing my luck
The times Derek showed up
To comfort what them others did
Is what my brother did
Not blood related
But heavily gated by the fates
That man seen my face in many trials
Someone that I don't second guess to dial when the life gets foul
I'm sounding off in the name lord for what I endured
Anytime I gave up, got up and gave it more
So doll I know you charmed
Them weapons that you kept to your heart that I disarmed
Oh, to be deeply involved
Must first come a storm of reservations
How could I assure I'm bout you?
It's just human is all we are
I don't practice in the same woe
Or sing sorrows, but praise hope
And set up foundations when I need to cope
So please don't leave me alone I need you more than you know
I'm trying to own up and trying to be a grown up
So holla at me girl I really wanna know ya
When we on the phone you say how come we never on the phone?
(Hello?)
But we off that, we active
It's time to get in touch with the magic
The magic baby
Hope you can tell
I'm falling oh so deeply
And I don't need a reason, might as well
(Have you ever been this high!?)
Go there (Have you ever been this high!? c'mon!)
It all feels so easy
I'm drowning oh so quickly in your spell (It's the magic baby!)
Sometimes we forget to breathe
Sometimes we forget that peace is all we really need
The hustles got us in a hold
And won't let us free
Cause we feel the pressure of what people expect us to be, yeah
I''ve been taking time to find my own way (to find my own way, yeah!)
I've been taking time to live life at my own pace cause I'm (I-I-I)
Constantly trying to learn from my mistakes (from my mistakes)
I don't want to be the fool I was (was, was)
Yesterday (yeah) yesterday (yeah)
I never made time for me
The work came first constantly
The distance was never malicious
And I hope you didn't take that personally
I'm sorry I don't pick up my phone
I just vibing by myself in my zone
Me, the guitar, the pen
Writing heartfelt classics for you
It's the magic, the magic baby!
Hope you can tell
I'm falling oh so deeply
And I don't need a reason, might as well
(Have you ever been this high!?)
Go there (Have you ever been this high!? c'mon!)
It all feels so easy
I'm drowning oh so quickly in your spell (It's the magic baby!)
I'm trying to separate myself from all the rah-rah
I want the fame like Frank less Gaga
Got in my bag a few months dropped auga
Then hit the hyperbolic till I reach the next saga
Dreams of Osaka I've been aching for that type of peace
Been telling bout my life, they ain't believe in me
My high school graduation rate was forty-three
Some flipped the tassel, some arrested, others rest in peace
Got destinations like nieces that I ain't tryna visit
Till I find the right shorty who can be complicit
Listen, I mean I'm only being honest
The way that I be rapping’s like somebody said Dracarys
Bullish like a Taurus tryna get my respect
I bring the game to a stop like Wall Street Bets
Bet, am I not going hard enough yet?
Am I the only one who’s out here tryna connect? Connect
I’m verified check the process, uh
You verified like StockX
Man, they ain't fucking with my concepts
Aye, aye, aye, aye!
Don't holla at me I ain't trying to get to know ya
When I’m all alone then I be really in my fuckin zone
But we off that, we active
The way I do this shit is like magic, the magic baby!
Hope you can tell
I'm falling oh so deeply
And I don't need a reason, might as well
(Have you ever been this high!?)
Go there (Have you ever been this high!? c'mon!)
It all feels so easy
I'm drowning oh so quickly in your spell (It's the magic baby!)
Oooo
Ooo-oo
Ooooo (It's time to get in touch with the magic, the magic baby!)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby
