About This Track

Roy Woods builds 'Magic' around a hook that doubles as both boast and shrug: he's made it through work nobody saw, and now he's living for himself on his own terms. The track sits in that familiar Toronto late-night space where confidence and detachment blur, the production minimal enough to let his voice occupy the room. He moves between verses with an ease that suggests he's not trying to convince anyone, just stating fact. The song turns on a simple tension. Woods acknowledges the work that got him here, then pivots to what matters now: the profile checks, the attention, the freedom to ignore calls and move as he pleases. There's no apology in it, and no need for one. 'Magic' is doing you on the daily, made plain.

"Magic" is a track by Roy Woods, released 22nd December 2016. Full lyrics are available below.

Magic

[Intro]

OVO, UTU

OVO, UTU

OVO, UTU

[Verse 1]

Oh, wake up, I'ma get up later when I want, touch snooze

Pack heat then I turn up blunt in the room

Shawty calls but I'm not answerin' calls

I don't throw money, those panties still fall (Droppin', droppin')

Gettin' down with a lil' ting from the North (Northside)

Southside got 'em all down where they want (Southside, nigga)

Sippin' white Gin for the night and the cars (Yeah, yeah)

We can fuck though I got pain in my heart

[Pre-Hook]

Knock, knock, boy, is you ready? (Is you ready?)

With the top dropped down with your lady? (Skrr, skrr, hey)

Hit the club, skrr'ting off from the lames (Skrrt'ing off)

And even mans won't throw it from the B's

I'm gettin' down with a shawty like me

And it's benign to a youngin' like me

I been movin' alright

Why ask? You ain't check for me

[Hook]

You can get mad that I made it

You ain't know the work I put in

Check my profile and they hit me

I been doing me on the daily

You can get mad that I made it

You ain't know the work I put in

Check my profile and they hit me

[Post-Hook]

I been doing me on the daily

I been doing me on the daily

I been doing me on the daily

I be makin' magic on the daily

I been doing me on the daily

[Verse 2]

You think you know me? From what, nigga?

I know how to start up from nothin' (Started from the bottom)

Basement days, now we up, mama (We up, mama)

I ain't just sippin' on nothin'

Niggas out there like to front, uh

I do what I say when I'm ready

You check my steez, do me at ease

[Pre-Hook]

Knock, knock, boy, is you ready? (Is you ready?)

With the top dropped down with your lady? (Drop-dropped down)

Hit the club, skrr'ting off from the lames (Skrrt'ing off)

And even mans won't throw it from the B's

I'm gettin' down with a shawty like me

And it's benign to a youngin' like me

I been movin' alright

Why ask? You ain't check for me

[Hook]

You can get mad that I made it

You ain't know the work I put in

Check my profile and they hit me (Hit me, hit me)

You ain't know the work I put in

Check my profile and they hit me
