[Intro]

The next task before our candidates is transmutation


[Verse 1]

I was doin' devious and silly shit

Used to pop the pills out on the field, you could get really hit

In 2013 I almost caught a clip

I mean legit, the bullets whistlin' but always drank a fuckin' fifth

We was wild rockin' shows on Adderall and geekin'

20/20 in my liver, down to fight (Whoop! Whoop!)

Was always broke but had it all and partied every weekend

Fuck the weekend, we was poppin' Molly almost every night

Invested cash but my craft, it wasn't there yet (Not at all!)

My style not developed, no one cares yet (No one!)

I was pullin' out my hair likе it ain't fair

I was focused on the versе but still my purpose wasn't clear yet

Uhh! That's when my ex-lady was cheatin' on me

And I was doin' shady shit myself

I was feelin' like a failure while they sleepin' on me

Body gettin' fat from pullin' bottles off the shelf


[Chorus]

It's black magic! How I formed into gold

I leveled up from base metal never sellin' my soul

It's black magic! How I formed into gold

I leveled up from base metal, now my story is told

It's black magic! How I formed into gold

I leveled up from base metal never sellin' my soul

It's black magic! How I formed into gold

I leveled up from base metal, now my story is told


[Verse 2]

I've got control of my craft and I've got patience now

Laser focused, I was in a coma but I've woken now

I passed the bottle off and cut it with the snow

Assess the dramas in my life and then decided I would have to go (Fuck outta here!)

My vision clearest, I'm gettin' nearer to what I'm chasin' (Yeah!)

The shit I'm facin' is only bringin' me motivation

Alcoholic to workaholic, I've always been (Always!)

But now with no distractions, I'm growin' faster and goin' in

Yeah! I don't do nothin' that I shouldn't do

I've done a lot of shit, that in my mind was what I wouldn't do

Like what? Like who the fuck I stuck my wood into?

Don't make me stick my foot in you, there's nothing that I couldn't do

And I ain't claimin' that I'm perfect now

Matter of fact, when at my worst I'll be the first to doubt

I still get down but know that up's the only place to go

I've got a lot of rage but everyday I just embrace the growth


[Chorus]

It's black magic! How I formed into gold

I leveled up from base metal never sellin' my soul

It's black magic! How I formed into gold

I leveled up from base metal, now my story is told

It's black magic! How I formed into gold

I leveled up from base metal never sellin' my soul

It's black magic! How I formed into gold

I leveled up from base metal, now my story is told
