Déjà Vu

Same shit, different day shift

Late night, hit the light switch

I used to feel safe in this blanket

I used to dream bigger than inside of my eyelids

But tonight I'm wide-awake

Waiting for them sheep to count

Wishing I could find a way to break the cycles I've built

'Cause right now I'm freaking out

'Cause it's true, I've been sleeping

I've been sleeping on my dreams for way too long

That's why you hear me saying

Déjà vu

Maybe one day I'll wake up

'Cause I've been waiting on that day to come for way too long

That's why you hear me saying

Déjà vu

I bought a ticket for the lottery

And I got every single number right

But I left it in the pocket of my grotty jeans

That were ruined when I threw them in the tumble dry

So now I'm sitting here staring out a window pane

Satisfied with this fat slice of humble pie

And I ain't really down with this fucking rain but

I'm a stick around for the sunny side

Up at the crack of dawn, home in the dead of night

No time to dedicate, no time to set aside

Instead I get in line, I wish that I had it all

Slave to a dollar sign, pass me the Panadol

I've been on the edge, I've been tripping tripping

Yo, can I get a grip, I've been slipping, slipping

Yo, let me reminisce on this feeling, I'm feeling

Sick of hearing one day, I'm a make a killing but don't

I've been sleeping on my dreams for way too long

That's why you hear me saying

Déjà vu

Maybe one day I'll wake up

'Cause I've been waiting on that day to come for way too long

That's why you hear me saying

Déjà vu

I reminisce so much, déjà vu

I reminisce so much, déjà vu

Like Pete Rock and CL Smooth

Ayo, I reminisce over you, my God, déjà vu

I reminisce so much, déjà vu

I reminisce so much, déjà vu

Like Pete Rock and CL Smooth

Ayo, I reminisce over you, my God

I got a fire in my belly, you can see it in my eyes

Inspired by the many who could reach for the skies

Or light up the room in the dark with the vibrance of youth

Stay wise to the truth in your heart

An indigo child, spilt from the movement of stars

Soon to depart, only visitors sightsee

All I see is me and my team

Tryna add a dash of future that we scooped from the past

Flying at light speed, I been riding on a pipe dream

And it's got you thinking what one might be

Do you know the difference? Do you know what I mean?

Homie, be chill like ice tea, can you go the distance?

Tai chi, can you flow with me still?

Or are you sickened 'cause my poetry's ill?

Do you remember now we're older thinking back about the road that we built?

Are we over the hill? If it could only be real

Same shit, different day shift

Late night, hit the light switch

I used to feel safe in this blanket

I used to dream bigger than inside of my eyelids

But tonight I'm wide-awake

Waiting for them sheep to count

Wishing I could find a way to break the cycles I've built

'Cause right now I'm freaking out

'Cause it's true, I've been sleeping

I've been sleeping on my dreams for way too long

That's why you hear me saying

Déjà vu

Maybe one day I'll wake up

'Cause I've been waiting on that day to come for way too long

That's why you hear me saying

Déjà vu

I reminisce so much, déjà vu

I reminisce so much, déjà vu

Like Pete Rock and CL Smooth

Ayo, I reminisce over you, my God, déjà vu

I reminisce so much, déjà vu

I reminisce so much, déjà vu

Like Pete Rock and CL Smooth

Ayo, I reminisce over you, my God
