Deja Vu (with Beyoncé) Lyrics

Jay-Z Rap Intro:

I used to run base like juan pierre

now i run the base

high hat in the snare

I used to bag girls like purple bags

now i bag b

(boy you hurtin' that)

Brooklyn bay where they birthed me at

now b everywhere the nerver at

the audacity to have me with them curtains back

me and b, she about to steam, stand back



Verse 1:

Baby

Seem like everywhere I go

I see you

From your eyes, I smile

Its like I breathe you

Helplessly I reminisce

Don't want to

Compare nobody to you



Chorus 1:

Boy I try to catch myself

but I'm outta control

Your sexiness is so appealing

I can't let it go



Chorus 2:

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 walkin' past me

almost called yo' name

got a better glimpse

and then I looked away

it was like i'm losing it



Chorus 1:

Boy I try to catch myself

but I'm outta control

Your sexiness is so appealing

I can't let it go



Chorus 2:

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



Jay-Z Rap Outro:

Yes

Hova's flow so unusual

Baby girl you should already know

it's H-O

light up the dro

'cause you gon need help

tryna study my

bounce



flow glow

what's the difference

One you take in vein

while the otha you sniffin'

It's still dough

Po-po try to convict 'em

thats a no-go

my dough keep the scales tippin

like four-fours

like her 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

Nuttin' afta me

No Deja Vu

just me and my...oh!



Bridge:

Baby I can't go anywhere

without thinkin' that you're there

Seems like you're everywhere it's true

Gotta be havin' deja vu

'Cause in my mind I want you here

Get on the next plane

I don't care

Is it because I'm missin' you

that I'm havin' deja vu



Chorus 1:

Boy I try to catch myself

but I'm outta control

Your sexiness is so appealing

I can't let it go



Chorus 2:

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



Chorus 2:

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
