Déjà Vu

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Through the lights, cameras and action, glamour, glitters and gold

I unfold the scroll, plant seeds to stampede the globe

When I'm deceased, by then the beast'll rise like yeast

To conquer peace, leavin' savages to roam in the streets

Live on the run, police payin' me to give in my gun

Trick my wisdom with the system that imprisons my son

Smoke a gold leaf, I hold heat, nonchalantly

I'm raunchy, but things I do is real, it never haunts me

While, funny-style niggas roll in the pile

Rooster heads profile on a bus to Rikers Isle

Holdin’ weed inside they pussy

With they minds on the pretty things in life

Gettin' props is a true thug's wife

It's like a cycle, niggas come home, some'll go in

Do a bullet, come back and do the same shit again

From the womb to the tomb, I presume the unpredictable

Gun salute life rapidly, that's the ritual

Here's a toast to my foes, trees & women (déjà vu)

It's like a whole new beginning

Here's a toast to my foes, trees & women (déjà vu)

It's like a whole new beginning

Here's a toast to my foes, trees & women (déjà vu)

It's like a whole new beginning

Here's a toast to my foes, trees & women (déjà vu)

It's like a whole new beginning

Blunts, thugs and alcohol, what a mixture

Just picture your life as a whole judged in court, they convict ya

They tellin' you your state of mind like you worthless

So he curses, his mom's sayin' Bible verses, that's all she works with

But miracles never leave the churches

Instead, it hits the pockets of the preacher just to purchase

A house with a swimming pool, labels me a sinnin' fool

I'm just a nigga who inherited a winnin' jewel

To be a trendsetter, whenever subject to respect this

And all respect due is the essential

To street life, hustlin’, the struggle, broke ghettos

Boilin' coke settles slow inside a glass kettle

Darren Levy on my TV, lifestyles of livin' easy

Got my crew tense, plottin’ up gyps to get whips with BB's

Pushin' cakes, knew anorexics with ten plates

Celebratin' elevation in the seeds that we make

So, how you like that?

Here's a toast to my foes, trees & women (déjà vu)

It's like a whole new beginning

Here's a toast to my foes, trees & women (déjà vu)

It's like a whole new beginning

Here's a toast to my foes, trees & women (déjà vu)

It's like a whole new beginning

Here's a toast to my foes, trees & women (déjà vu)

It's like a whole new beginning

Escobar life, gems and raw Timbs

Gators for pretty boy haters

In Vegas with chicks trickin’ fortunes

I'm glistenin', housing cops whistlin'

Still I'm driftin' in a high, blunts is like insulin

95-I, I drive high, zonin'

Stash box zone in my trunk, I flash knots, teeth golden

Look at me now, Ma, blowin’, but how far?

Cars, cash and bitches got me out more

And things you never dreamed I could vouch for

Snake niggas slither on they a-alikes

I ain't a Christian, but I find that we pray alike

Never the one to ask for the time to a saint

A mask and nine, I think, will make my problems sink

Down a canal, similar to how we drink

Distinct diamond-flooded Sphinx shines on my links

Drug money, snortin’ bitches, in the end of times

Got my nine, till I flatline, nigga, gimme mine
