Pressure's on, I can't slow down
Got to make it 'fore the best years pa** me by
Up before dawn, building my crown
In my own eyes, it's a noble sacrifice
I spend my time
Tryin' to make a little hay
Before the sun stops shinin'
Material magic
Got a spell on me one more time
Pile it high, save it up for a rainy day, yeah
For surprises, unexpected tragedy
The funny thing is it can all blow away
Leave ya broken, leave ya beggin' down on your knees
It makes good sense
Till the walls of my security
Come crashin' in
Material magic
Got a spell on me one more time
You know the checkbooks and the credit cards go flyin'
You can get 'em in the mail before you apply
Can my limit take the weight of what I'm buyin'
Good money down on my own slice of the pie
Are we crazy or just out of control
That we bow down to what money can buy
Seems like people will trade in their souls
For the pleasure, for the ecstasy of the eye
Does Jesus weep
That I spend my time collectin'
What I cannot keep
I heard Him say
Lay your treasure up
Where the hands of time cannot decay
Material magic
Got a spell on me one more time
(Oh, got a spell on me, yeah)
Oh-whoa, material magic
Got a spell on me one more time
Oh, no, not this time
Material magic
Got a spell on me one more time
Oh-whoa, material magic
Got a spell on me one more time
Yeah, yeah
Oh, material magic
Got a spell on me one more time
