Lecrae - Deja Vu lyrics
[Lecrae - Deja Vu lyrics]
Yeah, the whole world's gone crazy
People riot in the streets
Killin' unborn babies
Catchin' shots from police
Never thought that I would see the day
When I would have to pray for
God to hold me down
'Cause Lord, I feel like giving up today
I feel like giving up the faith
I swear these people fake
I swear they full of hate
I swear to tell the truth
Until I'm in the grave
Shots-shots fired, everybody quiet
Tryna hear the preacher
He ain't preachin' to the choir
Preachin' to the riots that he got fired
He ain't got no Medicare
Sippin' liquor in his chair
Blank stare, need a blank check
Where your bank at? Babies had a birthday
They gon' need a rain check
Rich man need a vacation, hop a plane
Broke man need a vacation, Mary Jane
Walk outside and everything is lovely
Butterflies in my stomach from this
Girl I wanna see
Party in the neighborhood and
Everybody on the street
They was on that Stevie Wonder
Now it's Frankie Beverly
I done seen days go crazy, time fly by
Maybe it was yesterday or maybe 65
Peace then war, born then die
All too familiar, more lifetimes
One time for the memories
Two times for the crew
Three times for the love, y'all
And four times for the truth
And some days are a nightmare
And some dreams come true
But the Lord's still right there
It's just déjà vu
It's just déjà vu, déjà vu
It's just déjà vu, y'all
It's just déjà vu
It feel like Tribe Called Quest
It feel like De La Soul
It feel all too familiar
It feel like déjà vu
I said I love you, hit the door
Got a mission, gotta go
Yeah, it's cold, but I'm gon' pursue that
She said she love me but she know
I'm too old to be waiting for a handout
Boy you knew that
And if they try to keep me down
Hold my ground 'til they all look around
And they wonder, "Who that?"
They don't respect my mind
Or respect my grind
So I told her, "I got to do that"
Now maybe I was talkin' to my lady
But I think I told my mama same thing
I told her I was all about the action
And then I got Ghostface in my dream
Déjà vu, parlez-vous français? Quoi de neuf?
Everything the same under the sun
That's why we burnin' up
Don't believe astrology, but man
I hated cancer breast, lung, throat, blood
Prayin' for an answer
Seem like it was yesterday
They came and took your breath away
And I ain't get a chance to tell
You everything I want to say
Now they say your sister got it too
Yeah, they say it's true
Guess it's never finished 'til it's you
Déjà vu
One time for the memories
Two times for the crew
Three times for the love, y'all
And four times for the truth
And some days are a nightmare
And some dreams come true
But the Lord's still right there
It's just déjà vu
It's just déjà vu, déjà vu
It's just déjà vu, y'all
It's just déjà vu
It's just déjà vu, déjà vu
It's just déjà vu, y'all
It's just déjà vu
And some days are a nightmare
And some dreams come true
But the Lord's still right there
It's just déjà vu
People riot in the streets
Killin' unborn babies
Catchin' shots from police
Never thought that I would see the day
When I would have to pray for
God to hold me down
'Cause Lord, I feel like giving up today
