Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They think I'm a magician (Voilà, Voilà)
They think I know magic (Voilà, Voilà)
They think I go abracadabra, leave me, come back
'Cause I'm different (Oh, mama, Voilà, Voilà)
I might pull up in the Bentley (Voilà, Voilà)
Pull up in the Benzes (Voilà, Voilà)
I might pull up on a skateboard with me and P
Hoes gon' still pay me attention (Ooh, baby, Voilà, Voilà)
[Verse 2]
You are a magician (Voilà, Voilà)
You can make it happen (Voilà, Voilà)
So, when you say abracadabra
Leave me, come back, it's something different (Voilà, Voilà)
Purple in your system (Voilà, Voilà)
Tell the motherfucka rattlin' (Voilà, Voilà)
And you bounce in your section just to show us that you're listening (Voilà, Voilà)
[Verse 3]
Abracadabra, get out the bed
I'm your mirror, I'm the voice inside your head
Some motivation to get you up
You can lift your mood without it being touched, ay
[Verse 4]
You have the power to
Change the course of the night
Take this time to recharge (Hold on, hold on)
Yourself up till the light goes off
Look around, we're your friends
We'll be here in every life
Every time you need a lift, you'll know tricks
We'll pull it off
[Verse 5]
They think I'm a magician (Voilà, Voilà)
They think I know magic (Voilà, Voilà)
They think I go abracadabra, leave me, come back
'Cause I'm different (Oh, mama, Voilà, Voilà)
I might pull up in the Bentley (Voilà, Voilà)
Pull up in them Benzes (Voilà, Voilà)
I might pull up on a skateboard with me and P
Hoes gon' still pay me attention (Ooh baby, Voilà, Voilà)
[Verse 6]
You are a magician (Voilà, Voilà)
You can make it happen (Voilà, Voilà)
So, when you say abracadabra
Leave me, come back, it's something different (Voilà, Voilà)
Purple in your system (Voilà, Voilà)
Tell the motherfucka rattlin' (Voilà, Voilà)
And you bounced in this section just to show us that you listening (Voilà, Voilà)
[Verse 7]
I know you ain't ready to go, so much to do
Somebody said you ready to go
And it's up to you
You have not found what it took
Change the course of the night
Take this time to recharge (Hold on, hold on)
Yourself up till the lights go off
Look around, we're your friends
We'll be here in every life
Every time you need a lift, you'll know the tricks
We'll pull it off
[Verse 8]
They think I'm a magician (Voilà, Voilà)
They think I know magic (Voilà, Voilà)
They think I go abracadabra
Leave me, come back, 'cause I'm different
Diff-different
Diff-different
[Verse 9]
Different
Different
One time for my whole mob
One time for the whole squad
You told me you sold weight
You can't get your dope off
All I know is gold bar
That's my vibe
I should cover The Source, not 5 mics
Bitch, I came from nothing, gained it off the hustle
They say money talk, but can I pay you for a muzzle?
I don't mean to ruffle
That's my vibe
You just smell like money, Chanel 5
Different
Different
