Chorus

We're moving round in circles, in search of a corner
A word of warning for the perfectly dormant,
Time to wake up. Life applies the make up,
Hiding her face, and don't you ever to break up,
Despite the embrace, that hugs a little too tight,
I'm a little too bright, for the dark moods that you like,
Poetry by moonlight, Fantasia broom strikes,
Magic for the camera crew and boom mic,
Can you catch it?

We bury hatchets, then re-launch the tomahawks,
Light it up like Molotovs, still without a common cause
I sit with solemn thoughts, a day late and a dollar short,
What the fuck was college for? I'm still lost and poor
Use my tear drops to wash and polish floors,
Crossed to foreign shores last year, to pass beers
With strangers, grow beards and playlists,
Wrote years in pages, flow against the grain with,
Magic. Can you catch it?

Chorus



I spent time with those who have a knife in their back,
Showing off scars, like they aint frightened of that,
They could die now any minute in reprisal attacks,
Cut short mid-sentence, when reciting their raps,
I'm out of depth, these kids aint scared of death,
In comparison, I'm scared to death.
I'm running out of air for breath.
Teaching them to climb, but this time -
I'm running out of stairs for steps..

So it's difficult, using my peripherals
Just to see what comes first, curses or a miracle,
Hearses in my mirror view, see them in a traffic jam,
Hoping kids aren't inside
They could have sat exams,
Which rappers told them not to,
Hold responsibility, its killing me this block view,
When its not you, you could be Magic
Can you catch it?

Be careful of the men you quote,
Repping post code is not pushing the envelope,
Address you like a friend you know,
And no I won't go lend you dough,
To buy the high your seeking,
Just take this brainchild embryo
And grow it till it's speaking…

And what it says is for you to know,
Don't hit the block tonight,
Maybe hit the studio,
Write something you imagine to be magic,
The plane out of this place, is on its way
Can you catch it?
