Déjà Vu
Beyonc Feat. Jay-Z Lyrics

I used to run base like Juan Pierre
I used to steal bases in baseball like Juan Pierre

Now I run the bass, hi hat, and the snare
Now I play the bass, hi hat, and snare drums in music

I used to bag girls like Birken bags
I used to pick up girls like Birken bags

Now I bag B (Boy, you hurtin' that)
Now I am with Beyoncé, and you are jealous

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

Now I be everywhere, the nerve of rap
Now I am famous everywhere; the audacity of rap

The audacity to have me whipping curtains back
People are amazed by my talent that they are metaphorically whistling and cheering loudly by pulling curtains back

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

Stand back
Get ready for what's coming

Baby, seems like everywhere I go
Everywhere I go, I see your presence

I see you, from your eyes, your smile
I see you in your entirety, from your eyes to your smile

It's like I breathe you, helplessly I reminisce
You are indelibly ingrained in my memory, and I can't help but think of you fondly

Don't want to compare nobody to you
No one else compares to you or can replace you

Boy, I try to catch myself
I try to control my emotions

But I'm out of control
But I am losing control of myself

Your sexiness is so appealing
Your sexiness is irresistible

I can't let it go, oh
I can't resist it

You know that I can't get over you
You know that I can't stop thinking about you

'Cause everything I see is you
Because every single thing I see reminds me of you

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

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu
I feel like I've experienced this before, but with you

I'm seeing things that I know can't be
I am experiencing things that I know can't be real

Am I dreaming? When I saw you walking past me
I am questioning my reality when I saw you walking by

Almost called your name
I almost called out your name

Got a better glimpse and then I looked away
I got a clearer view, then averted my eyes

Feels like I'm losing it
It feels like I am becoming crazy

Yes, Hova's flow so unusual
Jay-Z's rap style is unique

Baby girl, you should already know
Beyoncé, you should know this already

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're going to need help trying to learn and imitate my style

Flow, blow, what's the difference?
What is the difference between flow and blow?

One you take in vein while the other you sniffin'
One you inject into your vein, while the other you sniff

It's still dough, po-po try to convict him
It's still money, the police try to convict him

That's a no-go, my dough keep the scales tipping
That is impossible, because my money keeps the balance favoring me

Like four-fours, like I'm from the H-O-U-S-T-O-N
Like 44 caliber guns, like I am from Houston

Blow, wind so Chicago of him
Blow like the wind, reminiscent of Chicago

Is he the best ever? That's the argument
Is he the greatest of all time? that's the debate

I don't make the list, don't be mad at me
I don't make the top rapper list, so don't be angry with me

I just make the hits like a factory
I just make hit songs effortlessly, like a production line

I'm just one-to-one, nothin' after me
I am one of a kind, there won't be anyone like me after me

No déjà vu, just me and my, oh
No feeling of déjà vu, just me and my talent

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

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

Seems like you're everywhere, it's true
It seems like you are everywhere with me, and it is true

Gotta be having déjà vu
I must be experiencing déjà vu

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

Get on the next plane, I don't care
Come get on the next plane and be with me, I don't care about anything else

Is it because I'm missing you
Is it because I am longing for you

That I'm having déjà vu?
That I'm experiencing déjà vu?

Your sexiness is so appealing
Your sex appeal is so desirable

I can't let it go (woo)
I can't resist it (expressed as a sound of excitement)

Know that I can't get over you
You should know that I can't move on from you

And I don't want no substitute
And I don't want anyone else to make up for your absence

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu
I swear it feels like déjà vu with you every time

Know that I can't get over you
You should know that I can't forget you

And I don't want no substitute
And I don't want anyone else to replace you

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu
I swear it feels like déjà vu with you every time

Know that I can't get over you
You should know that I can't recover from you

And I don't want no substitute
And I don't want anyone else to be with me

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu
I swear every moment with you feels like déjà vu
