Black Magic Hour
Jidenna Theodore Mobisson
I'm from a 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 call it Black Magic when they baffled by the physics
Smart niggas are the white man's villain
I rocked these linens for Wakanda looked appealin
The best you rappers do is do a show, pay a visit
While I'm really out here livin', I'm in Kenya makin' shillings
I'm at home
'Cause the flea market feel like Brooklyn on the low
If we spread the bread we can do it on our own
Stay up in yo' lane bitch you knockin over cones
This the year Jah said that I assume the throne
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
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 just, you jusy 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 done 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
Can't kill the voodoo runnin' in my blood
Can't kill the voodoo runnin' in my blood
Cannot kill it man it's still in me
I can feel it, I can feel in me
And the spirit is the real in me
Black magic power
Cannot kill it man it's still in me
I can feel it, I can feel in me
And the spirit is the real in me
Black Magic Hour
Cannot kill it man it's still in me

I'm from a long line of Chiefs I was made in their image
Venho de uma longa linhagem de Chefes, fui feito à sua imagem
Grandfather married seven wives in the village
Avô casou com sete esposas na aldeia
Never sold a slave and the British couldn't kill him
Nunca vendeu um escravo e os britânicos não conseguiram matá-lo
And they call it Black Magic when they baffled by the physics
E eles chamam de Magia Negra quando estão confusos com a física
Smart niggas are the white man's villain
Negros inteligentes são o vilão do homem branco
I rocked these linens for Wakanda looked appealin
Eu vesti essas roupas de linho porque Wakanda parecia atraente
The best you rappers do is do a show, pay a visit
O melhor que vocês rappers fazem é fazer um show, fazer uma visita
While I'm really out here livin', I'm in Kenya makin' shillings
Enquanto eu realmente estou aqui vivendo, estou no Quênia fazendo xelins
I'm at home
Estou em casa
'Cause the flea market feel like Brooklyn on the low
Porque o mercado de pulgas parece Brooklyn discretamente
If we spread the bread we can do it on our own
Se espalharmos o pão, podemos fazer isso por conta própria
Stay up in yo' lane bitch you knockin over cones
Fique na sua faixa, vadia, você está derrubando cones
This the year Jah said that I assume the throne
Este é o ano que Jah disse que eu assumiria o trono
Long live Chiefy Chiefy
Viva o Chefe Chefe
Long live bad witches in my tepee
Viva as bruxas más na minha tenda
Why you wishin' you could be me?
Por que você deseja poder ser eu?
Too much gifts got the blues I'm a genie
Muitos presentes me deixaram triste, sou um gênio
Whether it be for my people or be for my ego
Seja para o meu povo ou para o meu ego
Man I gotta make like ocho or nueve zeros
Cara, eu tenho que fazer como ocho ou nueve zeros
I believe in Magic Johnson not a Magic Negro
Eu acredito em Magic Johnson, não em um Negro Mágico
That's why Uncle Morgan Freeman never was my hero
É por isso que o tio Morgan Freeman nunca foi meu herói
Nope, Nope
Não, Não
Aw man some forget where they voodoo from
Ah cara, alguns esquecem de onde vem o seu vodu
Get a perfume deal and forget that they doodoos stunk
Conseguem um contrato de perfume e esquecem que seus cocôs fediam
Jealous old heads tell me you just, you jusy young
Velhos invejosos me dizem que você é apenas, você é apenas jovem
Boy you thought you'd be a rebel when you grown? (Yeah)
Garoto, você pensou que seria um rebelde quando crescesse? (Sim)
Please don't act like I got my diploma on a plate
Por favor, não aja como se eu tivesse recebido meu diploma de bandeja
I done took a bullet by the time that I was eight
Eu levei um tiro até a hora que eu tinha oito
Studied by neighbor boyfriend beat her everyday
Estudei o namorado da minha vizinha que a batia todos os dias
On the way to school the stick up kids I would escape
No caminho para a escola, eu escapava dos garotos que assaltavam
Can't kill the voodoo runnin' in my blood
Não pode matar o vodu correndo no meu sangue
Can't kill the voodoo runnin' in my blood
Não pode matar o vodu correndo no meu sangue
