Deja Vu (feat. TYuS)

Youngin' came up strong
With a will to live
Daddy never came home
Mama in the pen
So his relative got him 'fore the devil did

The streets ain't safe just to be playing in
The story never changes
Just who telling it
And it all cost the same when nothings change
Let's talk about like a room full of elephants

I can see it 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 thang, it's like déjà vu
I see it all the time

Made it out of the dirt
I rose up
Got off my ass and growed up
Made it off of the corner
Before the Hurst pulled up

I had a dream and I seen my kids looking up at me
What you going to do fight or give up?
At a cross road never to be a lost soul
Cold nights, no heater and no lights
Gas stove and match to get the plates right

The man say I'm living wrong
But God knows my heart
And it is right
If you don't understand the feeling
Or see what it's like

Then you could 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
I fight to survive

I've been living out my dreams
Seeing places I never seen
Got to give it my everything
For my mama to see better things
Keep fighting, rising, shining
Where could I go wrong?

If you done felt pain and been through the struggle
Then you can relate to this song
Reaching for my goals
I'm close I know
You ain't got to tell me so
'Cause I already know

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
10 toes down in it with no complaining

Never fail to help your brother if he need ya
Never lie to the people that believe ya
Believe in you and trust you and never leave ya
Principles over leisure
And anything that misleads you

I got a problem I ain't mean to mislead you
I was just getting high as eagle
But my eagle eye view is lethal
I've been focusing on the prize
I ain't mean to not see you
But the way I'm seeing things

You're see through
And I'm attracted to greatness
It's déjà vu
I can fake it
No!
