Bass (uh?)

Hi-hat (uh?)

808 (uh?)

Jay (uh-huh! You ready? Uh-huh!)

Let's go get 'em (uh-huh)

C'mon (come on)

I used to run base like Juan pierre

Now I run the bass hi-hat and the snare

I used to bag girls like birkin bags

Now I bag b (boy, you hurtin' that)

Brooklyn bay where they birthed me at

Now be everywhere, the nerve of rap

The audacity to have me with them curtains back

Me and b, she about to sting, stand back

Baby

Seem like everywhere I go I see you

From your eyes, your smile, it's like I breathe you

Helplessly I reminisce, don't want to

Compare nobody to you

Boy, I try to catch myself but I'm outta control

Your sexiness is so appealing, I can't let it go

You know that I can't get over you

'Cause everything I see is you

And I don't want no substitute

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu

You know that I can't get over you

'Cause everything I see is you

And I don't want no substitute

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu

I'm seeing

Things that I know can't be, am I dreaming?

When I saw you walkin' past me, almost called your name

Got a better glimpse and then I looked away

Feels like I'm losing it

Boy, I try to catch myself but I'm outta control

Your sexiness is so appealing, I can't let it go

You know that I can't get over you

'Cause everything I see is you

And I don't want no substitute

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu

You know that I can't get over you

'Cause everything I see is you

And I don't want no substitute

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu

Yes!

Hova's flow so unusual

Baby girl, you should already know

It's h-o, light up the strobe

'Cause you gon' need help tryna study my bounce, flow

Blow, what's the difference?

One, you take in vein while the other you sniffin'

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

That's a no-go, my dough keep the scales, tippin' like 4-4's

Like I'm from the h-o-u-s-t-o-n

Blow, wind, so chicago of him

Is he the best ever? That's the argu-a-ment

I don't make the list, don't be mad at me

I just make the hits like a factory

I'm just one-to-one, nothin' after me

No déjà vu, just me and my, oh!

Baby, I can't go anywhere

Without thinking that you're there

Seems like you're everywhere, it's true

Gotta be having déjà vu

'Cause in my mind I want you here

Get on the next plane, I don't care

Is it because I'm missing you

That I'm having déjà vu?

Boy, I try to catch myself but I'm outta control

Your sexiness is so appealing, I can't let it go

You know that I can't get over you

'Cause everything I see is you

And I don't want no substitute

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu

You know that I can't get over you

'Cause everything I see is you

And I don't want no substitute

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu

You know that I can't get over you

'Cause everything I see is you

And I don't want no substitute

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu

You know that I can't get over you

'Cause everything I see is you

And I don't want no substitute

Baby, I swear it's déjà vu
