Now take your journey into my mind
You'll see why it's venom I rhyme
Stay on the road, so I call my mama when I got time
I hit the stage, go insane, and jump into that crowd
See, see when I rhyme I flow on the beat like pidda-dow-dow
See, I'll deceive you with my intergalactic ether
I sing just like Aretha, so respect me like I'm Caesar
I kick it like Adidas, flowin' sticky like adhesive
Be cautious 'cause what I be on'll leave you with amnesia
I break all the rules like Evil Knievel
It's a spectacular show 'cause my heart pumps diesel
So whatever you sayin', it don't entertain my ego
I do this every day, hocus pocus is my steelo
These tricks that I ll attempt will blow your mind Pick a verse, any verse, I ll hypnotize you in every line I ll need a volunteer, how bout you, with the eyes. I ve got the magic in me I ve got the magic baby Everytime I touch that track It turns into gold Yes, it turns to gold Everybody knows I ve got the magic in me I ve got the magic baby When I hit the floor The girls come snapping at me They be snappin baby And everybody wants the presto magic Magic.

Magic (feat. Rivers Cuomo)
I've got the magic in me
Everytime I touch that track
It turns into gold
Everybody knows
I've got the magic in me
When I hit the floor
The girls come snapping at me
And everybody wants the presto magic
Magic
I got the magic in me
These tricks that I'll attempt will blow your mind
Pick a verse, any verse, I'll hypnotize you in every line
I'll need a volunteer, how 'bout you, with the eyes?
Come on down to the front, sit right here, and don't be shy
I'll have you time travelin', have your mind babblin',
People try to inherit the skills, so they askin' it
Even David Blaine had to go and take some classes in it
I see Mindfreak, hey what's up man, what's happenin'?
So come one, come all, and see the show tonight
Prepare to be astounded, no ghost or poltergeist
You know I'm no Pinocchio, I never told a lie
So call me Mr. Magic Man, I float on cloud 9
I've got the magic in me (I've got the magic baby)
Everytime I touch that track
It turns into gold (Yes, it turns to gold)
Everybody knows
I've got the magic in me (I've got the magic baby)
When I hit the floor
The girls come snapping at me (They be snappin' baby)
And everybody wants the presto magic
Magic
I got the magic in me
Now take your journey into my mind
You'll see why it's venom I rhyme
Stay on the road, so I call my mama when I got time
I hit the stage, go insane, and jump into that crowd
See, see when I rhyme I flow on the beat like pidda-dow-dow
See, I'll deceive you with my intergalactic ether
I sing just like Aretha, so respect me like I'm Caesar
I kick it like Adidas, flowin' sticky like adhesive
Be cautious 'cause what I be on'll leave you with amnesia
I break all the rules like Evil Knievel
It's a spectacular show 'cause my heart pumps diesel
So whatever you sayin', it don't entertain my ego
I do this every day, hocus pocus is my steelo
I've got the magic in me (I've got the magic baby)
Everytime I touch that track
It turns into gold (Yes, it turns to gold)
Everybody knows
I've got the magic in me (I've got the magic baby)
When I hit the floor
The girls come snapping at me (They be snappin' baby)
And everybody wants the presto magic
Magic
I've got the magic in me (I've got the magic baby)
Everytime I touch that track
It turns into gold (Yes, it turns to gold)
Everybody knows
I've got the magic in me (I've got the magic baby)
When I hit the floor
The girls come snapping at me (They be snappin' baby)
And everybody wants the presto magic

Reviews for "B.o.B's Musical Renaissance: Reimagining His Sound for a New Era"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Magic" by B.O.B. The songs lacked depth and originality. It felt like I was listening to the same generic pop-rap beats over and over again. The lyrics were also uninspiring and didn't leave any lasting impact. Overall, I found the album forgettable and it failed to captivate my attention.
2. Michael - 1 star - "Magic" by B.O.B was a huge letdown. The production quality was poor, and it felt like the entire album was rushed. The songs lacked cohesion and it seemed like B.O.B just threw random ideas together without any thought. The featured artists also didn't add any value to the album, and it felt like their contributions were forced. Overall, I wouldn't recommend "Magic" to anyone looking for a well-crafted and enjoyable rap album.
3. Jennifer - 2.5 stars - I had high expectations for "Magic" by B.O.B, but it fell short. The album lacked innovation and felt like a rehash of what we've already heard in the rap industry. B.O.B's lyrics were repetitive and lacked substance, and the beats were unremarkable. Additionally, the overall flow of the album was inconsistent, making it difficult to stay engaged. While there were a few standout tracks, they were not enough to redeem the entire album.
