Real Magic

[Intro: Ronald Reagan]

Winston Churchill said that "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations

When great forces are on the move in the world

We learn we are spirits, not animals"

And he said "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space

Which, whether we like it or not, spells duty"

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny

We will preserve for our children this

The last best hope of man on earth

Or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness

[Verse 1: Jay Electronica]

Sometimes I don't know what to say

This a genuine miracle I woke up today, so I got up to pray

But, my BBM was pinging when

My Android started singing then

I missed all of the glory for technological luxuries

And just like that, I forgot all of the trees

And the flowers and the breeze carryin' seeds across the seas

Extra honey in my tea but pay no homage to the bee

Whatever happened to us?

And will we ever let the magic come and tap into us?

We preach apocalypse written by John the Revelator

But won't even speak to a stranger ridin' on a elevator

Or step to the side when we standin' still on a escalator

The planet earth is a hospital, we on the respirator

I don't regret the haters

[Chorus: Jay Electronica]

Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself

Break through and free yourself, accept your own and be yourself

It's magic

The story of life is too tragic

It's magic

[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]

This is The Turn, they ain't ready for Prestige yet

The flow is too collegiate, the show is too prestigious

Pretty like a flower, refreshin' like a shower

Depression makes me sour, but it's still a feelin'

My human heart and all my senses say, "It's still appealin'"

I could be dead and gone, a brass band

The second line, I could be headin' home

And passersby may shed a tear after she read the stone

It's a luxury

The story of life is not tragic

It's magic

[Chorus: Jay Electronica]

Sometimes that's what you need to see yourself

Break through and free yourself, accept your own and be yourself

It's magic

The story of life is not tragic

It's a luxury
