FAM Cypher #2 - Magic Touch
This has been a long time coming, but here’s my entry to FAM’s latest cypher!
Lyrics:
magic with these jam sessions, kin to who yugi is
armed with magic sleeves, these tricks reach their wrists
on their knees meek, got prestige of the illusionists
i’m dop-er, like i’m pot-ter, these muggles ain’t used to this
character carries harry’s, and i’m so very
magic johnson way i balled, all three who deemed me harry
uh…watch us slyther in, subtle when we’re (w)rappin’ ‘em
all have the same cards, but it’s FAM who’s got the gathering
look down upon ‘em whacks, like their magic’s black
us real magicians call ‘em out like magic jack
genius lampin’ like aladdin, like kazaam and shaq
orlando ‘92, but they’ll never get the magic back
got it locked up, full of ki, ether
in this game, only green i got is a magic meter
wordplay on cursive, poison so potent
peep, way i spell spells, it’s poetry in potion
Footnotes:
magic with these jam sessions, kin to who yugi is
(magic jammer)
armed with magic sleeves, these tricks reach their wrists
(armed + sleeves, “tricks of the sleeve” + suicide)
on their knees meek, got prestige of the illusionists
(the prestige + the illusionist)
i’m dop-er, like i’m pot-ter, these muggles ain’t used to this
(if someone runs, then they are a runner; if some one dopes, then they’re a doper haha)
character carries harry’s, and i’m so very
(harry houdini and harry potter)
magic johnson way i balled, all three who deemed me harry
(magic johnson the LA laker basketball player is now “bald,” and along with the aforementioned two, called me “hairy”)
uh…watch us slyther in, subtle when we’re (w)rappin’ ‘em
(slytherin, snakes, wrapping)
all have the same cards, but it’s FAM who’s got the gathering
(magic the gathering)
look down upon ‘em whacks, like their magic’s black
(black magic was looked down upon)
us real magicians call ‘em out like magic jack
(magic jack telephone connection)
genius lampin’ like aladdin, like kazaam and shaq
(genies in lamps; shaq starred as a genie in the movie Kazaam)
orlando ‘92, but they’ll never get the magic back
(shaq brought the orlando magic to the nba finals, but never won a
championship. then he left, and never returned)
got it locked up, full of ki, ether
(lock + key)
in this game, only green i got is a magic meter
(green magic meters in video games to charge energy, such as “ki”)
wordplay on cursive, poison so potent
(cursive = curses)
peep, way i spell spells, it’s poetry in potion
(words are like spells; twist on poetry in motion)
