Magic Tricks

you told me we gon' make it there eventually

but that's not soon enough for me

while we playin' ball tryna hook up with the family

yeah I shoot my shots like they magic tricks

while you sittin' thinkin' that you had all this

 

you play your cards like a bussin' maverick

but just in case sit down yell it out say it:

MAGIC TRICKS!

I'm hangin' with the guys for just one day

they talkin' crap

I don't think they even know my name

you know what let's start from the beginning of it

before I was shooting shots like they magic tricks

I was livin' like a homeless kid

jumpin' place to place

only spent one night in my bed

feelin' sad and depressed

till I got my freedom kicks

yeah, you know what bankrol says:

"Pain is temporary"

I ain't sure that's true for me

 

Here we are again now I'm 10

sittin' in my room playin' on my new DS

yeah I'm thinkin' Pokemon

Pikachu I choose you

my life right now feels like one big magic trick

oh no now I'm grounded

one adult yelling but I feel like I'm surrounded

livin' like an og not?

not really I've been livin' like a charity case

people sayin' "you know I'm sorry"

I reply "just get out of my face"

 

yeah my mamma keeps tellin' me

"Don't worry only 8 more years then you'll graduate"

I keep tellin' her any more time and I think I'll become irate

yeah you told me we gon' make it there eventually

but that's not soon enough for me

while we playin' ball tryna' hook up with the family

 

you play your cards like a bussin' maverick

but just in case sit down yell it out say it:

MAGIC TRICKS!

yeah Magic tricks you figured that you had all it

by now I'm 14 and we're livin' with coronavirus

everybody's hurttin' financially but they try to hide it

you wanna come out with a vaccination then you gotta find it

everybody yellin' tellin' me "mask up"

all I can think is you better shut up

pretty soon I'm gettin' vaccinated then I can say it:

"flick of the wrist" show em my corona card

 

you know I'm already fellin' better it's like a magic trick

nobody thinks anymore that I'm a triple crip

well you know that's all I have for now

but don't you worry I'll be back before you know it

with a flick of the wrist, it's a magic trick
