Déjà Vu
Jay-Z / Beyonce Lyrics

I used to run base like Juan Pierre
I used to be fast and agile like Juan Pierre

Now I run the bass, hi hat, and the snare
Now I produce music and control the beat

I used to bag girls like Birken Bags
I used to attract women like expensive handbags

Now I bag B (Boy, you hurtin' that)
Now I'm with Beyonce and we make a great couple

Brooklyn Bay where they birthed me at
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York

Now I be everywhere, the nerve of rap
Now I'm famous all around the world, it's unbelievable

The audacity to have me whipping curtains back
I'm so accomplished that I can make curtains move with my presence

Me and B, she about to sting
Beyonce and I are working together and about to make a big impact

Baby, seems like everywhere I go
Everywhere I go it feels like I see you

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

It's like I breathe you; helplessly I reminisce
I feel like you're a part of me now, and I can't help but think about you

Don't want to compare nobody to you
No one can compare to you, you're one of a kind

Boy, I try to catch myself
I try to control myself and my thoughts about you

But I'm out of control
But I can't help it, I'm obsessed with you

Your sexiness is so appealing
Your attractiveness is irresistible

I can't let it go, oh
I can't stop thinking about you

Seeing things that I know can't be
Seeing things that can't be real, like seeing you everywhere

Am I dreaming? When I saw you walking past me
Did I imagine seeing you walk past me?

Almost called your name
I almost said your name out loud

Got a better glimpse and then I looked away
I saw you better but then I looked away quickly

Feels like I'm losing it
Feels like I am going crazy

Yes, Hova's flow so unusual
My rap style is unique

Baby girl, you should already know
Beyonce already knows how good I am

It's H-O, light up the dro'
My nickname is H-O, let's smoke marijuana together

'Cause you gon' need help tryin' to study my bounce
My rhythm is hard to imitate or understand, you'll need help with it

Flow, blow--what's the difference?
What's the difference between rap and blow (drugs)?

One you take in vein while the other you sniffin'
One goes into your bloodstream, the other is sniffed through your nose

It's still dough--po-po try to convict him
It's still all about money, even when the police try to convict me

That's a no-go; my dough keep the scales tipping
That won't happen; my money keeps me above the law

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

Blow, wind so Chicago of him
My style is blowing like the wind in Chicago

Is he the best ever? That's the argument
Some people argue whether I'm the best rapper ever or not

I don't make the list; don't be mad at me
I don't rank myself, don't be angry with me

I just make the hits like a factory
I just keep creating hit songs like it's a factory

I'm just one-to-one, nothin' after me
There's no one like me, I'm one of a kind

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

Baby, I can't go anywhere
I can't go anywhere without thinking about you

Without thinking that you're there
Without thinking that you're by my side

Seems like you're everywhere, it's true
You're always on my mind and it's true

Gotta be having déjà vu
It must be déjà vu that I keep thinking about you

'Cause in my mind I want you here
In my imagination, I wish you were here with me

Get on the next plane; I don't care
Come see me as soon as possible; I don't care about the details

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

That I'm having déjà vu?
That I keep thinking about you?

Know that I can't get over you
I can't forget about you

'Cause everything I see is you
Everything reminds me of you

And I don't want no substitute
No one can replace you

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu
I swear it feels like déjà vu
