Deja Vu Lyrics by Zai

2017

[Chorus]
I remember waking up for high school
Deja Vu hit me as soon as I hit the front door
Dreading to have to work on this work
Waking up way too early to listen to Ms. Galvez chirp
Snap back to reality
I can't work at Dreamworks and can't think everything is gonna work out for myself because sometimes, it just don't

[Verse]
I mean to work on the work but the girl over there be giving that look and I'm down just to work on her
I'm trynna be more than this small town kid that always flirts with the wrong girls because homeboy was with them first
I mean to be the type of person that keeps to his word and doesn't fall when shit gets hard
I'm gonna be more than this small town that doesn't afford shit when he grows up

[Chorus]
I remember waking up for high school
Deja Vu hit me as soon as I hit the front door
Dreading to have to work on this work
Waking up way too early to listen to Ms. Galvez chirp
Snap back to reality
I can't work at Dreamworks and can't think everything is gonna work out for myself because sometimes, it just don't

[Verse]
Higher thinking should be my own brand
Stop me if I'm mistaken
I'll explain the subject
Won't mumble rap like it's a positive
And I won't write the obvious (Alright)
Are you sure you're alright?
Last time I checked you were still listening to guys that rapped about the same shit
Not even keeping up with K. Dot's track list
Come on man, what is that shit?

I wanna be the realest
Up there releasing albums for the people's pleasing because I bet man that shit gets K. Dot's goosebumps jumping
I want that shit

The understanding that there is no longer limits
Just the thoughts I've made and the processes I've taken in
No longer needing to rely on other people throwing positives
Just what I think of myself and where I'm attending

[Chorus] x2
I remember waking up for high school
Deja Vu hit me as soon as I hit the front door
Dreading to have to work on this work
Waking up way too early to listen to Ms. Galvez chirp
Snap back to reality
I can't work at Dreamworks and can't think everything is gonna work out for myself because sometimes, it just don't
