Salt-N-Pepa - Blacks' Magic Lyrics

[I'd 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

I've got your back Salt you know I'm never soft

Yo where's your records at?

Right beside me

Ready to give a scratch?

Yep like poison ivy



It's the Nineties the year for change can you prove it?

I made this beat I'm an Invincible, and I produced it

It's in my soul to roll and flow, take control

Sold the show, can go like a pogo stick

Hot hit, dop, dip, rock, rip, don't shop on my hit list

'cause 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 that's livin' rather large, in fact

Take out the camera, Salt, (Why?) I want to picture that

Make sure it's focused or you may only not have noticed

Before I cut up a jam I yell a "hocus pocus"

And right before your eyes you'll 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

I'll make sure that there ain't gonna be no more

It's a treachery hidden up the sleeves of men

Magic will only work for those who do believe in them



Black magic, it's black magic

Do you believe in black magic?

It's black magic

I believe in black magic

It's black magic

Do you believe in black magic?

It's black magic

I believe in



We call this song "Black Magic" 'cause it's a fact

Anything that's tragic relates to black

Coincidental? (No) Here's 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 ain't healthy

See, some try to say dark-skinned men ain't sexy true

Darker the cherry, you know how sweet will be the juice

Music's 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 y'all



Magic, it's black magic

Do you believe in magic?

It's black magic

I believe in magic

It's black magic

Do you believe in magic?

It's 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



It's black magic

Do you believe in magic?

It's 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 don't 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, Salt's 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, it's black magic

Do you believe in magic?

It's black magic

I believe in magic

It's black magic

Do you believe in magic?

It's 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)
