Déjà vu
Beyoncé/Jay-Z/Musicfire.in Lyrics

I used to run base like Juan Pierre
I used to play baseball like Juan Pierre

Now I run the bass, hi hat, and the snare
Now I am a musician playing the bass, hi hat, and snare drum

I used to bag girls like Birken Bags
I used to get a lot of girls like Birken bags

Now I bag B (Boy, you hurtin' that)
Now I only focus on my relationship with my partner (who I refer to as 'B') because other relationships didn't work out well

Brooklyn Bay where they birthed me at
I was born in the Brooklyn Bay area

Now I be everywhere, the nerve of rap
Now I have become very successful and famous in the music industry

The audacity to have me whipping curtains back
The boldness to have me revealing the truth

Me and B, she about to sting
My partner and I are about to make a big impact

Baby, seems like everywhere I go
It feels like you are everywhere I go, in everything I see

I see you, from your eyes, your smile
I see you in every aspect of my life, from your eyes, and your smile

It's like I breathe you; helplessly I reminisce
You are a major part of my life, and everything reminds me of you

Don't want to compare nobody to you
I do not want to compare anyone else to you, because you are unique

Seeing things that I know can't be
I am seeing things that I know are not real

Am I dreaming? When I saw you walking past me
I wonder if I am dreaming because I saw you walking by and it could not be real

Almost called your name
I almost called out to you

Got a better glimpse and then I looked away
When I saw you, I got a better look and then looked away

Feels like I'm losing it
I feel like I am losing my grip on reality

Yes, Hova's flow so unusual
Yes, Jay-Z has a unique way of rapping

Baby girl, you should already know
My partner, you should already know

It's H-O, light up the dro'
It's Jay-Z, light up the marijuana

'Cause you gon' need help tryin' to study my bounce
Because you will need help trying to understand my style

Flow, blow--what's the difference?
Rapping and doing drugs are similar, what is the difference?

One you take in vein while the other you sniffin'
You inject one and inhale the other

It's still dough--po-po try to convict him
It's still money, but the police are trying to incriminate him

That's a no-go; my dough keep the scales tipping
That's not going to happen, because my money keeps things in my favor

Like four-fours, like I'm from the H-O-U-S-T-O-N
Like four-four guns, like I'm from Houston

Blow, wind so Chicago of him
Airflow is like that of Chicago, a reference to Kanye West who is from Chicago

Is he the best ever? That's the argument
Is Jay-Z the best rapper ever? That is arguable

I don't make the list; don't be mad at me
I do not determine the list of the best rappers ever, so do not be angry at me

I just make the hits like a factory
I focus on making hit songs constantly

I'm just one-to-one, nothin' after me
I am one of a kind, no one after me

No deja vu, just me and my, oh
This is not a case of deja vu, it is just me and my partner

Baby, I can't go anywhere
I cannot go anywhere without thinking of you

Without thinking that you're there
Without thinking that you are with me

Seems like you're everywhere, it's true
It feels like you are everywhere I go, it is true

Gotta be having deja vu
I must be experiencing deja vu

'Cause in my mind I want you here
Because in my mind, I want you to be here with me

Get on the next plane; I don't care
Come see me soon, I do not care about anything else

Is it because I'm missing you
Is it because I miss you

That I'm having deja vu?
That I am having this feeling of deja vu

Know that I can't get over you
I know that I cannot get over you

'Cause everything I see is you
Because I see you in everything

And I don't want no substitute
I do not want anyone else

Baby, I swear it's deja vu
I promise you, it feels like deja vu
