Lyrics
[Chorus]
It's live
I gotta plan, get with me in the ride and
Inside
I'll make it so my **** never die and
And why?
Maybe escape if we take to skies and
Fly, high, high
Magic, alive
I gotta plan, get with me in the ride and
Inside
I'll make it so my **** never die and
And why?
Maybe escape if we take to skies and
Fly, high, high
Magic, alive
[Verse 1]
There he go, dropping his baby off
Father, son, holy spirit, we watch that boy as he cross
Gold from the hand to elbow, man, such is a hefty cost
Thing 'bout losing memories, can't put finger on what I lost
I'ma run in real quick, just hold yo bladder
And turn up the volume, ****, tryna hear radio chatter
The birds, the trees, the sky, what they all say matter
But y'all want me be responsible for liquor store splatter, fine
Tattered feathers became the achilles heel
Chase an affinity to describe how sunshine feels
Under red moon, black sun, father figure, mama's gun
Packed room, one of one, dance circles raised him up
Haha, you seen it too, right?
Babies with sun in eyes dancing under the moonlight
Hooting, hollering, clapping and never missing a beat
Till you seen a **** rise and laugh at you in the street, it's alive
[Chorus]
It's live
I gotta plan, get with me in the ride and
Inside
I'll make it so my **** never die and
And why?
Maybe escape if we take to skies and
Fly, high, high
Magic, alive
I gotta plan, get with me in the ride and
Inside
I'll make it so my **** never die and
And why?
Maybe escape if we take to skies and
Fly, high, high
Magic, alive
[Verse 2]
Okay
We got till mama call out from the window pane
How I know all off these boys, we grew up where the windows stained
With a Phoenix on his shoulder, ironic, the boy got flamed
It's the summer time, **** gone dye if ya ankles sprained
I can't help you
**** kill god, He get too damn close to me
Trick bag, got spells, and a lil' sum' for gramma groceries
Took a walk around the block and all the youngins quoting me
We ain't really heard of you, my ****, who is you suppose to be?
Run it back, that magic track, I hear a bop
I'm my fathers child, so of course, I'ma dip, I hear pops
I ain't do my job, if this come off as a lil' shock
But me and my **** never had affinities for locks, and it stacks
Instead of us watchin it all collapse
We huddle and between us a butterfly wings flaps
Face away and say recently I've been feeling a lil' trapped
You put ya hand on my shoulder, assure the directions mapped
Haha, and I believe it, going through this now, shit
It really got me believing to live forevers
To tell the stories of who light up ya eyes
We ran, we danced, survived, we flied
That's magic alive
[Outro]
Hahaha
It's magic alive
It's magic a–
It's magic alive
Hahahaha
