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 can feel it, I can feel in me

I'm from a long line of Chiefs I was made in their image
Vengo da una lunga stirpe di capi, sono stato creato a loro immagine
Grandfather married seven wives in the village
Nonno sposò sette mogli nel villaggio
Never sold a slave and the British couldn't kill him
Non ha mai venduto uno schiavo e i britannici non sono riusciti a ucciderlo
And they call it Black Magic when they baffled by the physics
E lo chiamano Magia Nera quando sono sconcertati dalla fisica
Smart niggas are the white man's villain
I neri intelligenti sono il nemico dell'uomo bianco
I rocked these linens for Wakanda looked appealin
Ho indossato queste lenzuola perché Wakanda sembrava attraente
The best you rappers do is do a show, pay a visit
Il meglio che voi rapper potete fare è fare uno spettacolo, fare una visita
While I'm really out here livin', I'm in Kenya makin' shillings
Mentre io sono davvero qui a vivere, sono in Kenya a fare scellini
I'm at home
Sono a casa
'Cause the flea market feel like Brooklyn on the low
Perché il mercato delle pulci sembra Brooklyn in basso
If we spread the bread we can do it on our own
Se spargiamo il pane possiamo farlo da soli
Stay up in yo' lane bitch you knockin over cones
Resta nella tua corsia, stai rovesciando i coni
This the year Jah said that I assume the throne
Questo è l'anno in cui Jah ha detto che assumerò il trono
Long live Chiefy Chiefy
Lunga vita a Chiefy Chiefy
Long live bad witches in my tepee
Lunga vita alle cattive streghe nella mia tenda
Why you wishin' you could be me?
Perché desideri poter essere me?
Too much gifts got the blues I'm a genie
Troppo regali ho il blues sono un genio
Whether it be for my people or be for my ego
Che sia per il mio popolo o per il mio ego
Man I gotta make like ocho or nueve zeros
Devo fare come ocho o nueve zeri
I believe in Magic Johnson not a Magic Negro
Credo in Magic Johnson non in un Magic Negro
That's why Uncle Morgan Freeman never was my hero
Ecco perché lo zio Morgan Freeman non è mai stato il mio eroe
Nope, Nope
No, no
Aw man some forget where they voodoo from
Oh uomo, alcuni dimenticano da dove viene il loro vudù
Get a perfume deal and forget that they doodoos stunk
Ottieni un accordo per un profumo e dimentichi che le tue feci puzzavano
Jealous old heads tell me you just, you jusy young
Vecchi gelosi mi dicono che sei solo, sei solo giovane
Boy you thought you'd be a rebel when you grown? (Yeah)
Ragazzo pensavi di essere un ribelle quando sei cresciuto? (Sì)
Please don't act like I got my diploma on a plate
Per favore non fare finta che ho ottenuto il mio diploma su un piatto
I done took a bullet by the time that I was eight
Ho preso un proiettile quando avevo otto anni
Studied by neighbor boyfriend beat her everyday
Studiato dal fidanzato del mio vicino che la picchiava ogni giorno
On the way to school the stick up kids I would escape
Sulla strada per la scuola sfuggivo ai ragazzi che mi minacciavano
Can't kill the voodoo runnin' in my blood
Non puoi uccidere il vudù che scorre nel mio sangue
Can't kill the voodoo runnin' in my blood
Non puoi uccidere il vudù che scorre nel mio sangue
