Blue Magic Lyrics

Jay-Z featuring Pharrell – Blue Magic
[Intro - Jay-Z]
Roc-a-fella Records
The Imperial Skateboard P
Great Hova, ya'll already know what it is
C'mon!

[Jay-Z]
So what if you flip a couple words
I could triple that in furs
Open your mind, you see the circus in the sky
I'm Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey with the pies
No matter how you slice it I'm your motherfuckin' guy
And just like the b-boy with 360 waves
Do the same with the pot, still come back beige
Whether right is our par
Whether powder to jar
Whip it around, it still comes back hard
So easily do I W-H-I-P
My repetition with riches'll bring you kilo business
I got Creole COs
For my niggas who slipped, became prisoners
Trees taped to the visitors
You already know what the business is
Unnecessary commissary boy we live this shit
Wanna bring the 80's back
That's OK with me, that's where they made me at
Except I don't write on the wall
I write my name in the history books hustling in the halls
Nah I don't spin on my head
I spin work in the pot so I could spend my bread

{Chorus}
And I'm gettin' it
I'm gettin' it
I ain't talking about it
I'm living it
I'm getting' it
Straight gettin' it
Get-get-g-g-get-get-get it boy

{Bridge - Pharreell}
Don't waste your time fighting the light
Stay the course and you'll understand

[Jay-Z]
This '87 state of mind that I'm in
In my prime so for that time I'm Rakim
If it wasn't for the crime that I was in
But I wouldn't be the guy who's rhymes it is that I'm in
No pain, no profit
P I repeat if u show me where the pot is
Cherry M3's with the top back
Red and green g's all on my hat
North Beach leathers
Matching Gucci sweaters
Gucci sneakers on to keep my outfit together
Whatever, Hundred for the diamond chain
Can't you tell that I came from the dope game
Blame Reagan for making me to a monster
Blame Oliver North and Iran Contra
I ran contraband that they sponsored
Before this rhyming stuff we was in concert

{Chorus}

{Bridge}

{Bridge 2 - Jay-Z}
Push…
Money over broads
You got it, Bush
Chef, guess what I cooked?
Baked a lot of bread and kept it off the books
Rock star…
Look, way before the bars my picture was getting took
Feds, they like wack rappers
Try as they may they couldn't get me on the hook

[Jay-Z]
DA wanna indict me
Cuz fishscales in my veins like a Pisces
The Pyrex pot rolled up my sleeve
Turn one into two like a Siamese
Twin when it end
I'ma stand as a man
Never dying on my knees
Last of a dying breed
So let the champagne pop
I partied for a while now I'm back to the block

{Chorus}

{Bridge}

[Outro - Denzel Washington as Frank Lucas]
Blue Magic, that's a brand name
Like Pepsi, that's a brand name
I stand behind it, I guarantee it
They know that even if they don't know me anymore than they know the Chairman of General Mills…
My man
