Déjà Vu (feat. Jay-Z)

Bass (uh?)
Hi-hat (uh?)
808 (uh?)
Jay (uh-huh! You ready? Uh-huh!)
Let's go get 'em (uh-huh)
C'mon (come on)

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 be everywhere, the nerve of rap
The audacity to have me with them curtains back
Me and b, she about to sting, stand back

Baby
Seem 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 outta control
Your sexiness is so appealing, I can't let it go

You 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
You 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

I'm seeing
Things that I know can't be, am I dreaming?
When I saw you walkin' past me, almost called your name
Got a better glimpse and then I looked away
Feels like I'm losing it

Boy, I try to catch myself but I'm outta control
Your sexiness is so appealing, I can't let it go

You 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
You 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 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 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 outta control
Your sexiness is so appealing, I can't let it go

You 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
You 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

You 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
You 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

Déjà Vu: A Sensação de Amor Inesquecível de Beyoncé e Jay-Z

A música 'Déjà Vu', uma colaboração entre Beyoncé e Jay-Z, é uma explosão de ritmos que mistura R&B com elementos de funk e hip-hop. A letra da música fala sobre uma intensa sensação de familiaridade e reconhecimento, como se o amor vivido fosse tão marcante que continua a se manifestar em todos os lugares e momentos, mesmo quando a pessoa amada não está presente. A expressão 'déjà vu' refere-se a essa sensação de já ter vivenciado algo antes, e na música, é usada para descrever a profundidade da conexão entre os amantes.

No início da música, Jay-Z faz uma entrada triunfante, comparando sua habilidade no rap com a destreza de um jogador de beisebol e a precisão de um músico. Ele brinca com palavras e faz referências à sua origem no Brooklyn e ao seu sucesso na indústria da música. A participação de Jay-Z não apenas adiciona uma camada de sofisticação lírica, mas também reforça o tema do amor poderoso e inesquecível, já que ele e Beyoncé são um casal na vida real.

Beyoncé, por sua vez, expressa a intensidade de seus sentimentos através da repetição do refrão, que enfatiza a impossibilidade de superar o amor que ela sente. A letra sugere uma conexão tão forte que se torna quase palpável, e a presença do ser amado é sentida constantemente, criando uma espécie de ilusão ou 'déjà vu'. A música é um testemunho do poder do amor e da conexão emocional, e a colaboração entre Beyoncé e Jay-Z serve para ilustrar a química e a sinergia entre eles, tanto na música quanto na vida.
