They think I'm a magician (voilà, voilà)
They think I know magic (voilà, voilà)
They think I go abracadabra, leave and come back, 'cause I'm different

Pull up in them Benz's (voilà, voilà)
Hoes gon' still pay me attention
Oh baby, voilà, voilà
You are a magician (voilà, voilà)
You can make it happen (voilà, voilà)
So when you say abracadabra, leave and come back as something different (voilà, voilà)

Tuck a motherfuckin' rattle in (voilà, voilà)
And you bounce in your section
Just to show us that you listening (voilà, voilà)
Abracadabra, get out the bed
I'm your mirror, I'm the voice inside your head
Some motivation to get you up
You can lift your butt without it being touched, ay

In "Voilà," N*E*R*D, Gucci Mane, and Wale talk about how people perceive them, as if they possess a magic touch or a little bit of wizardry. The recurring phrase, "Voilà," conveys a sense of making the impossible possible, pulling something out of thin air, and creating something from nothing. The artists also seem to be questioning the nature of fame and how it allows them to have a certain aura that people are drawn to. In essence, the song is an ode to the power of manifestation, to putting your dreams out there and willing them into existence through hard work, dedication, and a little bit of magic.
The artists then go on a tangent about their lives and what they drive, seemingly as examples of the privilege that comes with fame. They talk about pulling up in a Bentley, a Benz or on a skateboard, highlighting that their lives are different from those of everyday people. However, through it all, they don't forget their roots and where they come from, and they are encouraging listeners to embrace their own unique stories and make their own magic happen as well.
Overall the track is an empowering anthem that celebrates what makes us different, and emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself, but it also hints at the pressure of being a public figure and how it can be hard to keep up the magical facade.

So no ones gonna talk about how this song is literally casting a spell of motivation on yourself? Next level stuff for real.
@wayne4714
This song needs more views it’s actually really good
@vw1177
Reken - Don’t worry now with the iPad ad that’s going to change.
@bluespartaninc
"Actually" ?? Foh

@gasaiyuno6021
The last minute ruins the song. It turns into this regae mix, that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the song and kills the vibe. It's really good before that, but a failed ending is a big issue.
@JahzeelPino12
That beat change is nasty, so fire Wale...
@scool8718
