Levitate (Like Magic)
VERSE ONE
I grew up the inner-city, surrounded by bad boys, nothin' like Diddy,
where dudes would punch a stranger in his face for something shitty,
like getting dropped in front of your friends from a girl that's pretty,
all because she wanna date a dude considered much more gritty,
where jokers step to you to stab you cos they hate your brother,
all because he's dating some chick that they failed to make they lover,
where two friends as teenagers got each others back,
fast-forward, now one is supplying the other with crack,
where children kicked out of the class because they didn't listen,
fucked they education to become a guest inside a prison,
where beautiful chicks with infinite prospects,
tagged themselves to a loser like inanimate objects, yo',
I was surrounded by this bullshit all day, everyday,
but didn't stop me doing shit ...Lemons? fuck it, Lemonade,
cos I understood that my decisions were forever made
by the brilliance that I was given just to levitate.
CHORUS
Like magic,
levitate (scratch),
(yo), like magic,
levitate (scratch),
like magic,
levitate (scratch)
(yo), like magic,
I don't stop (scratch)
VERSE TWO
I came up in a time of street altercations, dudes fighting chicks,
prepared to beat a brother with a loose wall brick,
bust his eye, put him hospital, got my tooth chipped,
where chicks caught reputations as a scandalous bitch,
forgot to mention, two days suspension, no intervention,
teachers could fuck around and give the wrong kid a detention,
so this student put a bag over the teacher's head,
beat him with a metal pipe then went home,
left him for dead, crazy fucka,
I'm from a place where the olders sent you out there

to steal a sports jersey, but I tell em' no without fear,
without apprehension, hesitation or reluctances,
weed smoke and pill popping led to other substances,
no trust funds, no imperial materials,
the only silver spoon I had was sugar on my cereal yo',
I was surrounded by this all day everyday,
but I put my head to something bigger so I'd levitate.
CHORUS
BREAKDOWN
scratching (breakdown)
VERSE THREE
I'm raised up from a place where rappers wanna fight you
for being frightfully nice,
for every time you made a beat and grabbed the mic,
when they pull you in the corner, tell you change your name,
cos there's another DL on the DL and you doused his flame,
'oh I'm sorry',
I'm just trying to make it out the hood just like the rest of them,
took a bunch of beats and now I'm verbally molesting them,
you can call this a walk in the park like a pedestrian,
so I'mma live it like the man I am and fuck your estrogen,
I'm here to be the best of them, I guess I'll be a pest again
until my life's a testament to every living specimen,
and yet again just when they thought I wouldn't pass the test again,
I gathered with my tribe and so I guess I'm on a quest again,
autonomous prominence, I am synonymous with dominance,
I'm never doing nothing with incompetence,
cos we surrounded by it all day every day,
and that's a good enough reason for us to wanna levitate.
CHORUS
BREAKDOWN
