Black Magic Hour - Jidenna

Verse 1:

I'm from the long line of chiefs, I was made in their image

Grandfather married seven wives in the village

Never sold a slave, and the British couldn't kill him

And they called it "Black Magic" when they baffled by the physics

Smart niggas are the white mans villain

I rocked these linens 'for Wakanda looked appealin'

The best you rappers do is do a show, pay a visit

While I'm out here livin', I'm in Kenya makin' shillings

I'm at home

'Cause the flee market feel, like Brooklyn on the low

If we spend the bread, we can do it on our own

Stay up in yo lane, bitch, you knockin' over cones

This is the year Jah said that I assume the throne

Bridge:

Long Live Chiefy Chiefy

Long live bad witches in my tepee

Why you wishin you could be me?

Too much gifts got the blues, I'm a genie

Verse 2:

Whether it be for my people or be for my ego

Man I gotta make like ocho or nueve zeros

I believe in Magic Johnson, not a Magic Negro

That's why Uncle Morgan Freeman never was my hero

Nope, nope

Aw, man, some forget where they voodoo from

Get a perfume deal, and forget that they doodoos stunk

Jealous old heads tell me: "You jus-you just young!

Boy, you thought, you'd be a rebel when you grown?" (Yeah)

Please don't act, like I got my diploma on a plate

I don't took a bullet by the time that I was eight

Studied by neighbor boyfriend, beat her everyday

On the way to school, the stick up kids, I would escape

Pre-Chorus:

Can't kill the voodoo runnin’ in my blood

Can't kill the voodoo runnin’ in my blood

Chorus:

Cannot kill it, man, it's still in me

I can feel it

I can feel it in me

And the spirits is revealing me

Black Magic Hour

Cannot kill it, man, it's still in me

I can feel it

I can feel it in me

And the spirits is revealing me

Black Magic Hour

Cannot kill it, man, it's still in me

I can feel it

I can feel it in me

And the spirits is revealing me

Black Magic Hour

Black. Magic. Hour
