[00:21.120]He said, "Baby boy, just come here, never fear
[00:23.140]Lemme pull a quarter from behind yo' ear
[00:24.910]If I show you how to do it, and you get the magic right
[00:27.260]You can use these tricks to help ya ass take flight"
[00:30.270]Wow, I guess I never knew how
[00:32.200]But it really comes alive when you say it out aloud
[00:34.530]Take these pennies from my thoughts, turn it to a hundred thou'
[00:36.900]But I can't control the fire, everybody get down
[00:39.860]I believe I'm as brilliant as I am stupid
[00:41.670]I'll show you a boy wit' wings who love shooting like he is Cupid
[00:44.090]We shouldn't have, running in the dark, I loved the movement
[00:46.450]But I came back home too late, saw his plate and watched her move it
[00:49.350]A grown man and his former self dance in kitchen
[00:51.280]One suited, the other wondering when the former went missing
[00:53.660]Now both sitting on the floor on his back gripping
[00:56.220]Saying sorry, losing twinkle in eye, wasn't my decision
[00:58.940]I learned how to call the dead from the reverend
[01:00.920]And the South made me realize that it's really hot in heaven
[01:03.270]I'm sure every **** in this room can attest
[01:05.590]I'm fickle wit' the way that I expel pain from my chest
[01:08.140]Look at hands, wonder why it ain't working, trying my best
[01:10.460]Kneel to concrete, guess the magic moved when you left
[01:13.470]Tears smeared, returning moisture to my face
[01:15.240]Not gon' lie, I'on think I can say, "It shoulda been me up in his place"
[01:18.740]He said, "Baby boy, just come here, never fear
[01:20.720]Lemme pull a quarter from behind yo' ear
[01:22.490]If I show you how to do it, and you get the magic right
[01:24.850]You can use these tricks to help ya ass take flight"
[01:27.860]Wow, I guess I never knew how
[01:29.760]But it really comes alive when you say it out aloud
[01:32.100]Take these pennies from my thoughts, turn it to a hundred thou'
[01:34.460]But I can't control the fire, everybody get down
[01:36.730]I tuck my chain into my shirt, you **** never finna catch me
[01:39.450]'Cause he juking and jiving, don't mean that lil' boy is happy
[01:41.720]He fell in love with exactly what's gon' keep him caged
[01:44.120]Dead presidents with a promise that he's gon' be saved
[01:46.510]To resurrect a few homies who wouldn't know who he was
[01:49.010]Though he made a career of them once showing him love
[01:51.270]It's tragic, trying to keep my kindness in my steps
[01:53.560]With lighting in my eyes, Gramps ain't got much thunder in him left
[01:56.110]Reminiscing on the days you put ya knuckles to boys cleft
[01:58.450]Then we laughed so hard, hands on our knees, that we wept
[02:01.450]Those the memories I try to preserve
[02:03.140]And because that's what I think that child deserved
[02:05.700]Ring filled hand trace along the ridges of earth
[02:07.940]I watch closely, lucky seeing her magic work
[02:10.900]I've found the answer to be so damn contrived
[02:12.750]I'd kill myself to bring you back, how's that magic alive?
[03:16.310]He said, "Baby boy, just come here, never fear
[03:18.350]Lemme pull a quarter from behind yo' ear
[03:20.140]If I show you how to do it, and you get the magic right
[03:22.520]You can use these tricks to help ya ass take flight"
[03:25.420]Wow, I guess I never knew how
[03:27.280]But it really comes alive when you say it out aloud
[03:29.660]Take these pennies from my thoughts, turn it to a hundred thou'
[03:32.090]But I can't control the fire, everybody get, yeah
[03:35.470]He said, "Baby boy, just come here, never fear
[03:37.500]Lemme pull a quarter from behind yo' ear
[03:39.280]If I show you how to do it, and you get the magic right

[03:44.700]Wow, I guess I never knew how
