Magic is the art of producing a desired effect or result through the use of incantation or various other techniques that presumably assure human control of supernatural agencies or the forces of nature. Magic has been practiced in many cultures, and utilizes ways of understanding, experiencing and influencing the world somewhat akin to those offered by religion, though it is sometimes regarded as more focused on achieving results than religious worship. Magic is often viewed with suspicion by the wider community, and is commonly practiced in isolation and secrecy.
Modern Western magicians generally state magic's primary purpose to be personal spiritual growth. Modern perspectives on the theory of magic broadly follow two views, which also correspond closely to ancient views.[citation needed] The first sees magic as a result of a universal sympathy within the universe, where if something is done here a result happens somewhere else. The other view sees magic as a collaboration with spirits who cause the effect.
Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. (born October 20, 1971), better known by his stage name Snoop Dogg (formerly known as Snoop Doggy Dogg), is an American rapper, record producer, and actor. Snoop is best known as a rapper in the West Coast hip hop scene, and for being one of Dr. Dre's most notable protégés. Snoop Dogg was a Crip gang member while in high school. Shortly after graduation, he was arrested for cocaine possession and spent six months in Wayside County Jail. His music career began in 1992 after his release when he was discovered by Dr. Dre. He collaborated on several tracks on Dre's solo debut, The Chronic and on the titular theme song to the film Deep Cover.
Snoop's debut album Doggystyle, was released in 1993 under Death Row Records making a debut at No.1 on both the Billboard 200 and R&B charts. Selling almost a million copies in the first week of its release, Doggystyle quickly became certified 4× platinum in 1994 and spawned several hit singles, including "What's My Name" and "Gin & Juice". In 1994, Snoop released a soundtrack on Death Row Records for the short film Murder Was The Case, starring himself. In early 1996, Snoop Dogg was cleared of charges over his bodyguard's 1993 murder of Philip Woldemariam. His second album, late 1996's Tha Doggfather, also debuted at No.1 on both charts with "Snoop's Upside Ya Head" as the lead single. The album sold only half as well, being certified double platinum in 1997.
Dora the Explorer is an American animated television series created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh, and Eric Weiner. Dora the Explorer became a regular series in 2000. The show is carried on the Nickelodeon cable television network, including the associated Nick Jr. channel. It aired on CBS until September 2006. A Spanish-dubbed version first aired as part of a Nick en español block on NBC Universal-owned Telemundo through September 2006; since April 2008, this version of the program has been carried on Univision as part of the Planeta U block.
Dora, the main character, is an eight-year-old girl who embarks on a trip in every episode in order to find something or help somebody. She asks the viewers at home to help her find new ways to reach places with the help of Map. She also teaches viewers Spanish, introducing them to short words and phrases.
Dora has a positive view of the characters she meets, failing even to hold a grudge against the mischievous fox, Swiper, who continually attempts to steal items from her party. She acts against villains only when it seems that compromise is impossible, and even in these cases, fails to display actual anger. She gives others a chance to try their hands at tasks even when she herself might have an easier time with them. Dora values her family, whom she loves openly, though she spends little time indoors at home with them. She tries to introduce her traditions and customs, subtly and without compulsion, to those who are not familiar with them.
You are the bright, white light in my streets of darkness
A storyteller with wings I envy
Baby, I've been waiting for you, waiting for you all my life
What did I know before you came?
One in million flowers on my pillow
One of kind hands reaching out to me
Baby, you're my shining armour; beauty and dressed to kill
Nothing I know can be the same
I wanna dance; pick me up and turn me round
One foot out, one foot down, all my senses hit the ground
I close my eyes, I feel so free, and it comes so easily
It Can Be Magical... It Can Be Magical
My little hero, never short of wonder
Wherever we go racing it's to win
Straight into the arms of parlours, straight into the halls of fame
Into this handsome honeymoon
I wanna dance; pick me up and turn me round
One foot out, one foot down, all my senses hit the ground
I close my eyes, I feel so free, and it comes so easily
It Can Be Magical... It Can Be Magical
I want to fly for real
I want to get high for real this time
Cause magic we're made of, a mystic parade of desires... desires...
I was a picture of a prima donna that was stranded on the edge of town
Only a face without a name...
Now, I wanna dance; pick me up and turn me round
One foot out, one foot down, all my senses hit the ground
I close my eyes, I feel so free, and it comes so easily
Here we go
Thinking of the moment we first met
I looked in your eyes I can't forget
All the loving that you made me feel
I had the chance to look the other way
My love for you grows stronger everyday
Understand your all I really need
Chorus:
I know, you're the one for me
Together we were meant to be
Can't you see
You're the one for me
Everytime I start to look around
The thought of losing you just brings me down
Is it something I should care about
I got something I just can't let go
Stay close to me, I want to let you know
I love you so
Chorus (2x)
So many nights i'd lie awake
Thinking of a way
And baby I just want to say
I love you
Chorus (4x)
It's magical, the way you make me feel inside
Can't let you go, no matter all I try you stay on my mind
I can hold your hands and you can hold mine
Now we can rock until the morning light
If I could I would change back the hands of time
That we can do everything so right
I'm just a thought away for you, babe
I know we had our ups and downs
But we say, it gets crazy
But trust me girl, you can always count on me
'Cause my love (my love), your love (your love)
Our love (our love), our love is magical
'Cause my love (my love), your love (your love)
And Our love (our love), our love is magical, girl
Here we go on a roller coaster to paradise
So let me know what it's gonna take for me to free your mind
Tell 'em who's your man, 3 karats on your hand
Introduce you to a brand new life
They don't understand how we can make it last
We don't care 'cause everything's fine
I'm just a thought away for you, babe
I know we had our ups and downs but we say
It gets crazy
But trust me girl, you can always count on me
Cause my love (my love), your love (your love)
Our love (our love), our love is magical
'Cause my love (my love) and your love (your love)
And Our love (our love), our love is magical girl
Say we don't care how you feel (feel)
Your love is magical for real (real)
Say we don't care how you feel, oh no, oh no
Say we don't care how you feel (feel)
Your love is magical for real (real)
Say we don't care how you feel, oh no, oh no
Cause my love (my love), your love (your love)
Our love (our love), our love is magical
'Cause my love (my love) and your love (your love)
And Our love (our love), our love is magical, girl
1.
So he asked me out on a moonlightride
And he said I was crazy
So we drove around he stoped at a lake
We sat around, were lazy
Bridge:
Then we talked on I and the bright moon lied
Made a vision every shooting star
It was magical he was wonderful
Not like anybody I know
Chorus:
When I think about those days
I know: He's always there for me
Whatchin' over me I was takin' good
And I know when we should lead again:
It'll always be the same
Cause I think his live
has never ever changed.
2.
Then he took my hand and he blow me cross
And he asked me if I trust in him
I just smiled at him and I closed my eyes
So he jumped into the water
And I knew: Could us 4ever
But he always said, I worke to much
(Chorus)
And baby we're now all alone
That you how to live this life
But we found went all away
Prettend in nothing your tear is a part
(Chorus)
It was magical he was wonderful
Not like anybody I know
Up in the shadows where the skeletons hide
We all live in fear of the door and what's behind
A door you dare not open, 'cause what you'll find
A close encounter of the sexual kind
Love in the shadows, like a smoking gun
Batten down, baby, lock all doors
You've got the love that I'm coming for
Your hait's so straight, I can make it curl
There's a little bit of bad in every good little girl
Love in the shadows, like a smoking gun
Is it really what you want,
One more broken heart
One more lost and lonely
Is it really what you need,
Another broken heart
[Chorus:]
When it happens, it'll be magical
I'm not knocking, it here's to the magic
When it happens, it'll be magical
I'm not knocking it, here's to the magic
Pull up the blankets, you won't hear a sound
The pounding's like thunder when it shakes the ground
You got a hunger only I can feed
You try to fight it off but you're in too deep
Love in the shadows, love in the shadows, like a smoking gun
Is it really what you want,
One more broken heart
One more lost and lonely
Is it really what you need,
Another broken heart
[Chorus]
Heat, flame, embers- it can be magical
Heat, flame, embers- smoking, smoking
[Repeats 2x]
Fire keeps burning up,
Fire keeps burning
[with Meatloaf
Up in the attic where the skeletons hide
We all live in fear of the door and what's behind
A door you dare not open, 'cause what you'll find
A close encounter of the sexual kind
Love in the shadows, like a smoking gun
Batten down, baby, lock all doors, you got the love that I'm coming for
Your hair's so straight, I can make it curl
There's a little bit of bad in every good little girl
Love in the shadows, like a smoking gun
Is it really what you want, one more broken heart, one more lost and lonely
Is it really what you need, another broken heart
Chorus:
When it happens, it'll be magical, I'm not knocking it, here's to the magic
When it happens, it'll be magical, I'm not knocking it, here's to the magic
Pull up the blankets, you won't hear a sound
The pounding's like thunder when it shakes the ground
You got a hunger only I can feed
You try to fight it off but you're in too deep
Love in the shadows, love in the shadows, like a smoking gun
Is it really what you want, one more broken heart, one more lost and lonely
Is it really what you need, another broken heart
(chorus)
Heat, flame, embers - it can be magical
Heat, flame, embers - smoking, smoking
(repeats 2x)
Fire keeps burning up, fire keeps burning
(chorus repeats out...)
[Verse 1:]
I get this feeling there's something you want to say to me,
Baby your just carefully contemplating what to say to me,
I think you already know I've got my eye on you,
Keep tryna hide but it shows in everything you do,
Don't hear you say little things like I'm so beautiful,
Telling me your feelings and how you never felt like this before,
No need to get complicated, I'm not that kinda girl,
Show me you're honest and simple and we'll just take it slow,
[Chorus:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I'm gonna make you love, I wanna make you love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I'm gonna make you love, I wanna make you love
[Verse 2:]
At least you've been telling your friends about the other day,
Asking them questions about if it's real or just a game,
No need to worry I got ya, I gotcha all the way,
Don't try to rush it it's cool, it's all good,
I can feel my heart jumping jumping all the time my phone rings,
Always I'm checking the messages for the love thing,
Boy don't get to excited just because I'm so excited,
Don't think you have it so breezy I'm not easy but easy,
[Chorus:]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I'm gonna make you love, I wanna make you love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I'm gonna make you love, I wanna make you love
[INSTRUMENTAL MAN SINGING]
[Chorus: x2]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I'm gonna make you love, I wanna make you love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I'm gonna make you love, I wanna make you love
She's magical, magical
The girl's got a spell on me
Oh yeh! Oh yeh!
She's magical, magical
A modern day wizardry
Oh yeh! Oh yeh!
Now she's a heart stopper
Jaw dropper for real
Baby steals my breath with the sex appeal
She's everything I ever wanted and more
She makes me feel like a kid in a candy store
An like a rabbit out of a hat
She's a disappearing act
I wink inside the mirror
And she always winks back
I'm in room 32
You can come up an see me
I make your bikini disappear like Houdini
It's our time no times better than now
You can bite, scratch me an throw me around
You might be the prettiest thing I ever saw
Looking like that should be against the law
She's just my taste got a face to match
I said, "this is one girl I got to catch"
You might be the one who could set me free
So lets work it out
Work your magic on me
She's magical, magical
The girl's got a spell on me
Oh yeh! Oh yeh!
She's magical, magical
A modern day wizardry
Oh yeh! Oh yeh!
Sexy girl you got a spell on me
You got me running up the street like a dog in heat
You're such an inspiration
You got my heart racing
Got me levitating with your sex education
Tell me is it real or just my imagination
Are you looking for love?
Well I'm over here waiting
Baby on the real
Can you feel the chemistry?
No smoke an mirrors
I believe what I can see
I believe in you
Now could you believe in me?
I feel the energy
You wanna be my fantasy
Hey pretty girl
Come give me a kiss?
It ain't hard to do
It's as easy as this
Put your lips to my lips
Put your hands on my side
Move your body closer and look into my eyes

The only thing I'm missing is you

For you
In minute we'll be sitting at the bar
And for a instant we'll forget who we are
And it happens
And when it does its magical
And it happens
And when it does its mystical
'Cause im not afraid anymore
'Cause I can feel you next to me
Im not afraid anymore
In a time when innocence should be my right
Im in a battle between alcohol and my life
And I still feel like you're here with me
And its magical.
'Cause I'm not afraid... If we run without or confidence.
My confidence is already lost, and if we run without or confidence...
My world is spinning all around, and if we run...
'Cause i'm not afraid, anymore. "Cause i can feel you next to me.
you've made me empty promises,
the ones you cannot keep
you tried to take us to the top,
but dropped us on our feet
at the time that i had met you first,
you turned to me and said
kid you're something magical
now ahead from where we left,
where we left from you
going where we've never been,
and sticking through and through
now you try to come on back,
just to through us off our track
kid you're something magical
Up in the attic where the skeletons hide
We all live in fear of the door and what's behind
A door you dare not open, cause what you'll find
A close encounter of the sexual kind
Love in the shadows, like a smoking gun
Batten down baby, lock all doors
I got the love that you're lookin' for
Your hair's so straight, but I can make it curl
Cause there's a little bit of bad in every good little
Girl
Love in the shadows, like a smoking gun
Is it really what you want
One more broken heart, one more lost and lonely
Is it really what you need
One more broken heart
When it happens, it'll be magical
I'm not knocking it, here's to the magic
When it happens, it'll be magical
I'm not knocking it, here's to the magic
Pull up the blanket, so you won't hear a sound
But the pounding's like thunder when it shakes the
Ground
You got a hunger only I can feed
You try to fight it off but you're in too deep
Heat, flame, embers it'll be magical
Heat, flame, embers smoking smoking
Heat, flame, embers it'll be magical
Heat, flame, embers smoking smoking
Fire keeps burning up
Fire keeps burning up
