Deja Vu

Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Yeah
Young and came up strong
What a will to live
Daddy never came home, Mama in the pain
So his relative got him 'fore the devil did
The streets ain't safe just for even playing in
The story never change just who tellin it
And it all cost the same and nothings change
Let's talk about it like a room full of elephants
I can see it in your smile, you can't hide the pain
I can see you been scared, don't hide your face
I can feel it in your eyes, a lot is on your mind
Cause when I look in the mirror, I see the same thing
It's like déjà vu, I see it all the time
Oh yea
(Uh, it's like déjà vu, I see it all the time)
Oh yea
Oh yea
Yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Made it out of the dirt, I rose up
Got off my ass and growed up
Made it off of the corner before the hearse pulled up
I had a dream and I see my kids looking up at me
What you gon' do, fight or give up?
At a crossroad never to be a lost soul
Cold nights, no heater and no lights
Gas stove and a match to get the place right
The man say Im living wrong but God know my heart, and it is right
If you don't understand the feeling to see what it's like
Then you can never understand or relate to the plight
And I can never stand next to a man who won't fight
For what we dying to live and our piece of the pie
It's like déjà vu, I see it all the time
But I won't run and hide
It's like déjà vu, fightin' to survive
I've been livin out my dreams, seeing places I never seen
Gotta give it my everything, for my mama to see better things
Keep fightin', risin', shinin', where could I go wrong?
If you done felt pain and been through the struggle
Then you can't relate to this song
Reaching for my goals, I'm close I know, know
You ain't gotta tell me so, cause I already know, know
God, I am close, too close I know, know
Hey, you aint gotta tell me so, coz I already know, know
(I was, yeah, uh)
I was summoned by God to be the greatest
They say my birth is a curse, I still made it
I stood out in the field when it was raining
Ten toes down in it with no complainin'
Never fail to help your brother if he need to
Never lie to the people that believe you, believe in you
Trust you and never leave you
Principles over leisure
And anything that misleads you
I got a problem, I ain't mean to mislead you
I was just gettin' high as an eagle
But my eagle eye view is lethal
I've been focussing on the prize
I ain't mean to not see you
But the way I'm seeing things you see through
And I'm attracted to greatness
Cause déjà vu, I can fake it
Cause déjà vu, I can fake it. No
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
Oh yea
