Chords for De La Soul - The Magic Number (Official Lyric Video)

_ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
Three, _ that's a magic number. _
Look at this, it's a magic number. _ _
Somewhere in this hip-hop community,
was born three mixed [Bb] up in me,
[N] and that's a magic number. _ _
[F] Difficult [Bb] preaching is possibly [Fm] pleasure.
Pleasure in preaching [F] starts in the heart.
Something that stimulates the music and the measure.
Measure in the music breaks a group heart.
Casually see but don't do like the soul.
Cause being and doing are [Fm] actually for monkeys.
Doing hip-hop [Bb] hustle no [E] rock and roll.
Unless your name's Brewster, cause Brewster's a [F] punkie.
Parents let go cause it's magic in the air.
Criticizing rap is just real out of Florida.
Stop looking, listen to the phrasing where it says,
and don't get offended while Mase Dosido's your daughter.
A dry camera roll system is now set.
Fly around Florida on a daisy production.
It stands for the NSL, y'all don't know the fact
that the album not a trip but a show not a function.
Everybody wants to be a DJ.
Everybody wants to be an exuberant.
Being speakers are the best, and you don't have to guess.
Get up so I see, cause it's a three and not the magic number. _
This here piece of the pie is not dessert for the court that we're on.
And three out of every darn time,
the effect is boom when a daisy goes in your mind.
Showing true position, this here piece is just in the part of the pie that's missing.
Where that negative number fills up the casualty.
Maybe you can subtract it.
You can call it your lucky partner.
Maybe you can call it your adjective. _ _
But odd as it may be, without my one and two, where would there be my three?
Make [Ab] possumian, that's the magic number.
What does it all mean?
Focus is formed [Gb] by the fluence of the soul.
[F] Souls who floss the hour game, crazy by pounds.
Common are speakers [Bb] who honor the scroll.
[F] Go written, who daily creates a [Fm] new sound.
Listeners listen, [Bb] cause this here is wisdom.
[F] Wisdom of a speaker, a dove in a plug.
Set aside our legal [Bb] substance to feed them.
[Fm] For now, get them high off this dialect drug.
Time is a factor, [Bb] so it's [F] time to count.
Count not the [Bb] negative actions of one.
[F] Speakers of souls [Bb] say it's time to shout.
Group forms the soul to a [Fm] positive sum.
Dance to this piece [C] and flex every muscle.
[F] Space can be filled [Bbm] if you ride like my lumber.
[Fm] Dance to the tune [N] but don't use a hustle.
Shake, rattle, roll to my [F] magic number.
Now you may try to subtract it, but it just won't go away.
Three [F] times [C] one.
What is [A] it?
One, two, three.
[F] That's the magic number.
[Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ Magic number. _
No more no less.
[N] Magic number.
_ _ [F]
No more no less.
No _ _ _ more no [Bb] less.
_ _ _ _ [F]
No more no less.
[Bb] _ _ [E] _ Magic [F] number.
No more no less.
[C] _ [N] _ _ _ _ [F]
Magic number.
No more no less.
_ No more no less. Magic number. _
No more no less.
_ Magic number. _
No more no less.
No more no less.
No more no less.
[Db] [A] That's the magic [F] number. _
