The title, “Magic” can be interpreted in two different ways: simply a strain of marijuana, or a metaphor for the seemingly-mystical come up Lil Skies has had in the past few years. By asserting that his dreams have became reality and he’ll be able to easily provide for a future family, Skies definitely sets the tone in this single. Skies feels not only destined to succeed, but more importantly, destined to do so for the people he loves most.

Roll one up and hit this magic
Oh, yeah, na-na-na-na, na
Yeah
Roll one and up hit this magic (yeah)
With the gang, we ball out, it could get tragic (let's go)
All we got, we gon' let you niggas have it (woo, woo)
What would you do if you were me and didn't have shit? (Yeah)
Look in the mirror, now I'm feeling like a savage (let's go)
Tell my son I love him, for him, I'ma make it happen (woo, woo)
Now my dreams reality, not going back to trappin' (woo, woo)
You say that you proud of me, I turn my back, you laughin'
Now I hit the scene, they like lights camera action
Livin' in a dream, now my music they be blasting (yeah)
Step out, I'm a star, always in the latest fashion
Had to set the bar, niggas try to catch me lacking
Bank account for my son, he won't have to struggle
You can see it in my eyes, all I do is hustle
They tried to knock me off my feet, I'm ready to rumble
Feel like I ain't ate in weeks, workin' off the muscle
Oh yeah, oh my, we ride
For my brothers no lie
All you niggas can die
Never wrong, they right
I ain't changing my side
Yeah, we in it for life
If you down, we ride
Roll one and up hit this magic (yeah)
With the gang, we ball out, it could get tragic (let's go)
All we got, we gon' let you niggas have it (woo, woo)
Stuck in my ways, think I need to change my habits (woo, woo)
What would you do if you were me and didn't have shit? (Yeah)
Look in the mirror, now I'm feeling like a savage (let's go)
Tell my son I love him, for him, I'ma make it happen (woo, woo)
Now my dreams reality, not going back to trappin' (woo, woo)
You say that you proud of me, I turn my back, you laughin'
Ayy, how could you lie to my face?
People claim that they be loyal, they be takin' up space
See my broski lose his heart when he was fightin' that case
Took so many L's, I'm not going back to those days
I'ma treat you how you treat me, do you like how it tastes?
Shawty, you's a one nighter, can't treat you like my ace
I got way too many problems to be worried, I'm straight
Me and Craig selling weed, had to watch for the jakes
On the road, this shit crazy, I get eighty a show
Save my money, stack it up, it look like I'm sellin' dope
Foreign cars, driving fast, I've never done this before
Get high, drown out my problems, let me pour me a four (yeah)
Roll one and up hit this magic (yeah)
With the gang, we ball out, it could get tragic (let's go)
All we got, we gon' let you niggas have it (woo, woo)
Stuck in my ways, think I need to change my habits (woo, woo)
What would you do if you were me and didn't have shit? (Yeah)
Look in the mirror, now I'm feeling like a savage (let's go)
Tell my son I love him, for him, I'ma make it happen (woo, woo)
Now my dreams reality, not going back to trappin' (woo, woo)
You say that you proud of me, I turn my back, you laughin'
