[English]

Oh yeah

Wake up in my bed, I just wanna have a good day

Think it in my head, then it happens how it should, ay

Twelve o'clock, I got a team meeting, then a meditation at like 1:30

Then I ride to the studio, listening to some - I wrote

Good karma my aesthetic (aesthetic)

Keep my conscience clear, that's why I'm so magnetic

Manifest it (yeah), I finessed it (I finessed it)

Take my pen and write some love letters to Heaven

Just like magic (baby)

Just like magic (oh yeah)

Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it

Just like magic (yeah)

I'm attractive (oh yeah)

I get everything I want 'cause I attract it

...

Looking at my phone, but I'm tryna disconnect it

Read a - book, I be tryna stay connected

Swear it's tricky at the top, gotta keep a slim ego for a thick wallet

Losing friends left and right, but I just send 'em love and light

...

Good karma my aesthetic (my aesthetic)

Keep my conscience clear, that's why I'm so magnetic

Manifest it (oh) I finessed it

Take my pen and write some love letters to Heaven

Just like magic

Just like magic

Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it (ay)

Just like magic

I'm attractive

I get everything I want 'cause I attract it

I don't want to waste your time on some dumb -

"Password to your phone," you can miss me with that -

Redesign your brain, we gon' make some new habits

Just like magic (just like magic)

Just like magic

Just like magic (baby)

Just like magic (oh)

Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it

Just like magic

I'm attractive

I get everything I want 'cause I attract it

'Cause I attract it, babe

...
