Jamaica West’s Magic

[Verse: Jamaica West]
Is there a magic that doesn't fade?
And love, not ticking time bomb before it explodes
And becomes the prestige of another magician's show
Is there man?
Not disappearing act hiding behind the curtains of his patriarchal right to uncertainty
Imagination is not binary
Invisibility is a blues lovers where by choice
Pretending that hearts are just cards given to queens for show
Not tell why must all magicians entertain crowds by cutting their women in halves?
Segregating nurture from nature
Promising her that tricks are just optical illusions
Knowing that truth is not native to Houdini's
Women aren't asking men to bend over backwards
Sell their soul and use the money to buy us a crown
No, we're just asking that you acknowledge the crown on our heads
Christ already crossed for
I know you're scared, I know you're scared
We all have missing puzzle pieces hindering our best performance
We al l weren't given the perfect magic wands abracadabra the perils of life away
But your affirmation, your celebration, your acknowledgment of this virtue be supernatural
Be holy, be godly in the purest sense
James said it was a man's world, but we were made for each other
We can't win without each other
When women is knowledge and man is wisdom
Don't tell me we ain't invincible when we're together, when we're together, when we're together
Women don't have to fight off fear of being forgotten
When God has already trademarked our beauty into his very image
In his very image and called us to walk along Adam
As Adam walked along us
And we show the world the metaphysics of God through our love for each other
Now that, that's magic
