Deja Vu

[Intro] Yeah, the whole world's gone crazy People riot in the streets Killin' unborn babies Catchin' shots from police [Verse 1] Never thought that I would see the day When I would have to pray for God to hold me down Cause Lord, I feel like giving up today I feel like giving up the faith I swear these people fake, I swear they full of hate I swear to tell the truth 'til I'm in the grave Shots-shots fired, everybody quiet Tryna hear the preacher, he ain't preachin' to the choir Preachin' to the riots that he got fired He ain't got no medicare, sippin' liquor in his chair Blank stare, need a blank check, where your bank at? Babies had a birthday, they gon' need a rain check Rich man need a vacation, hop a plane Broke man need a vacation, Mary Jane Walk outside and everything is lovely Butterflies in my stomach from this girl I wanna see Party in the neighborhood and everybody on the street They was on that Stevie Wonder now it's Frankie Beverly I done seen days go crazy, time fly by Maybe it was yesterday or maybe 65 Peace then war, sworn in, die All too familiar, more lifetimes [Hook 1] One time for the memories, two times for the crew Three times for the love, y'all And Four times for the truth And some days are a nightmare And some dreams come true But the Lord's still right there It's just déjà vu It's just déjà vu, déjà vu It's just déjà vu, y'all It's just déjà vu It feel like Tribe Called Quest, it feel like De La Soul It feel all too familiar, it feel like déjà vu [Verse 2] I said I love you, hit the door Got a mission, gotta go Yeah, it's cold, but I'm gon' pursue that She said she love me but she know I'm too old to be waiting for handout, boy you knew that And if they try to keep me down Hold my ground 'til they all look around And they wonder, "Who that?" They don't respect my mind, they'll respect my grind So I told her, "I got to do that" Now maybe I was talkin' to my lady But I think I told my mama same thing I told her I was all about the action And then I got Ghostface in my dream Déjà vu, parlez-vous français? Quoi de neuf? Everything the same under the sun, that's why we burnin' up Don't believe astrology, but man, I hated cancer Breast, lung, throat, blood, prayin' for an answer Seem like it was yesterday, they came and took your breath away And I ain't get a chance to tell you everything I want to say Now they say your sister got it too Yeah, they say it's true Guess it's never finished til it's you Déjà vu [Hook 2] One time for the memories, two times for the crew Three times for the love, y'all Four times for the truth Some days are a nightmare And some dreams come true But the Lord's still right there It's just déjà vu, it's just déjà vu Déjà vu It's just déjà vu, y'all It's just déjà vu [Outro] It's just déjà vu, déjà vu It's just déjà vu, y'all It's just déjà vu And some days are a nightmare And some dreams come true But the Lord's still right there It's just déjà vu
