Deja Vu (feat. JAY-Z) by Beyoncé, JAY-Z

Artist: Beyoncé, JAY-Z

Genre: Pop

Length: 4:00

Consistency is a hallmark of the recorded work of Beyonce. It’s always good to have her back on the radio. However, an artist of her stature has the ability to carry Pop and R&B music to a new place if she chooses. “Deja Vu” was comfortable enough to bring back past memories to take us somewhere new. Jason Goldstein, who mixed this song, breaks down its secrets in this interview

Deja Vu (feat. JAY-Z) lyrics

Bass
(Uh)
Hi-hat
(Uh)
808
(Uh)
Jay
(Uh-huh, ready, uh-huh)
Let's go get 'em
(Uh-huh)
C'mon
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 I be everywhere, the nerve of rap
The audacity to have me whippin' curtains back
Me and B, she about to sting, stand back
Baby, seems 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 out of control
Your sexiness is so appealing, I can't let it go
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
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
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
Boy, I try to catch myself but I'm out of control
Your sexiness is so appealing, I can't let it go
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
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 dro'
'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 dope, po-po try to convict him
That's a no-go, my dough keep the scales, tipping
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 out of control
Your sexiness is so appealing, I can't let it go
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
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
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
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
