Deja Vu (feat. Jay-z) — lyrics

[Beyonce:] Bass
[Jay-Z:] Uh
[Beyonce:] Hi hat
[Jay-Z:] Uh
[Beyonce:] 808
[Jay-Z:] Uh
[Beyonce:] Jay
[Jay-Z:] Uh-huh
Ready?
Uh-huh
[Beyonce:] Let's go get 'em
[Jay-Z:] Uh-huh
C'mon

[Jay-Z Rap:]
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 ([Beyonce:] Boy you hurtin' that)
Brooklyn Bay where they birthed me at
Now I be everywhere, the nerve of rap
The audacity to have me whippin' curtains back
Me and B, she about to sting
Stand back

[Verse 1]
Baby seems like everywhere I go
I see you, from your eyes, your smile
It's like I breathe you, helplessy I reminisce
Don't want to compare nobody to you

[Pre-Hook]
Boy, I try to catch myself
But I'm out of control
Your sexiness is so appealing
I can't let it go
Oh

[Hook]
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 deja vu
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 deja vu

[Verse 2]
Seeing things that I know can't be
Am I dreaming? When I saw you walking past me
Almost called your name
Got a better glimpse and then I looked away
It's like I'm losing it

[Pre-hook]
Boy, I try to catch myself
But I'm out of control
Your sexiness is so appealing
I can't let it go, oh

[Hook]
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 deja vu
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 ceja vu

[Jay-Z]
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 argument
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 deja vu, just me and my, Oh

[Bridge]
Baby I can't go anywhere
Without thinking that you're there
Seems like you're everywhere, it's true
Gotta be having deja 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 deja vu

[Pre-hook]
Boy, I try to catch myself
But I'm out of control
Your sexiness is so appealing
I can't let it go
Whoo...

[Hook]
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 deja vu
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 deja vu

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 deja vu
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 deja vu

It follows the blueprint. It's got horns. It's fucking called "Deja Vu". They know what's up; you know what's up. And, like nearly every summer blockbuster sequel, some of that first-time luster is lost. But we're not dealing with a Matrix drop-off here.
Think Ghostbusters II-- clearly lesser yet still comfy and charming in its familiarity. Their love-- part crazy, part cool, all calculating-- will still lift you a bit higher.

For the abundance of upfront similarities, though, there are key
deviations: Rich Harrison's Chi-Lites fervor is downgraded to Rodney Jerkins dinner theater r&b (replete with a chintz bassline that's straight Winwood), while this time Beyonce out-bolds the beat. And Jay, well, he sounds about the same but, in this
nebulous post-retirement period, such medium-grade octane burns up quicker. It may not be the one thing summer remembers but passable JB canned heat is tough to turn down.

I have to agree with swab! Depending on her songs... Sometimes I like her and other times I don't D: ...This is a time when I don't like her. Don't like the song... at all.

Much love,
