Blacks’ Magic by Salt N Pepa
[Id like to send this one out to the partner
Pepa mc, and her first born, whatever it may be]
Yo, spin, once again help me get this crowd on its feet
So we can set it off
Ive got your back, salt, you know Im never soft
Yo, wheres your records at?
Right beside me
Ready to give a scratch?
Yep, like poison ivy
Its the nineties, the year for change, can you prove it?
I made this beat, Im an invincible, and I produced it
Its in my soul to roll and flow, take control
Sold the show, can go like a pogo stick
Hot hit, dop, dip, rock, rip, dont shop on my hit list
Cuz I can be a witch if
They music is cool, and it can calm the savage beast
Then we got plenty of beats for the beasts to eat
A party animal thats livin rather large, in fact
Take out the camera, salt, (why? ) I wanna picture that
Make sure its focused or you may only not have noticed
Before I cut up a jam I yell a hocus pocus
And right before your eyes youll understand the name
Musicans and magicians are usually the same
And the fame, proclaim, obtains, the stain will gain a rain
That pours, it soars my brain to yours
Ordained by law to train the poor
Ill make sure that there aint gonna be no more
Its a treachery hidden up the sleeves of men
Magic will only work for those who do believe in them
Black magic, its black magic
Do you believe in black magic?
Its black magic
I believe in black magic
Its black magic
Do you believe in black magic?
Its black magic
I believe in
We call this song black magic cuz its a fact
Anything thats tragic relates to black
Coincidental? (no) heres an example, jack
Words as ancient as fossils or artifacts
Black sunday or monday
Black tongues or lungs may cause a black sleep
Why say black sheep?
Black sabbath is evil, black market illegal
A black widow is deadly, black potion aint healthy
See, some try to say dark-skinned men aint sexy true
Darker the cherry, you know how sweet will be the juice
Musics the only thing that brings the dead right back to life
Have faith and it will guide you through the night just like a light
Never say salt steered you wrong inside a concert hall
My crystal ball can see the future, to the beat yall
Magic, its black magic
Do you believe in magic?
Its black magic
I believe in magic
Its black magic
Do you believe in magic?
Its black magic
I believe in magic
And my feet in the street is black magic
And my soul in control is black magic
And the life that I live is black magic
Anything that I give is black magic
Its black magic
Do you believe in magic?
Its black magic
I believe in
In magic, a dimension of sight and sound
Where people see in only shades of brown
And reality is the same as a fantasy
Is this the way you want your world to be?
Not me, I want variety in my society
Where I can change if I dont like what I see, you see
This is a woman speakin bringin door-to-door, seekin
Tranquilty, that abilty will keep on repeatin
To saw someone in half may be a trick or treat
Making them dance and laugh is somethin quite unique
Abracadabra, salts comin at ya
You say my music was a phase, a fad, huh, I proved you wrong
Over ten years and still goin strong
Whoever heard of a fad kickin for so long?
Magic, its black magic
Do you believe in magic?
Its black magic
I believe in magic
Its black magic
Do you believe in magic?
Its black magic
I believe in black magic
And the life that I live is black magic
Anything that I give is black magic
And my feet in the street is black magic
And my soul in control is black magic
(repeat)
