ZEKERI JOSHUA - DE JAVU lyrics

[VERSE 1:] Ah! And when I wake up I feel like we got star struck And headed back in time to the year 1984 Cos I'm addressed by the same Head of State Same one my father knew in 1984 And they telling me times change (Times change) How come we writing history in the same book by the same author of 1984? Oh well, if it is George Orwell I might be wrong And this could be some sort of animal farm again You hear ‘bout that hay stacks and gra** again? Or did evolution reverse its place and We done become apes again? Is it just my feelings? Don't you feel as though we some beasts of burden again? There's a cart attached to this hearse I'm riding And Boxer died in this way How many times I done cruised with the slogan Done rode with the motto “animals equal”? The question is, who's the animal? Don't play ignorant of the evil Black lives ain't matter there Black lives still ain't matter here I walked the same paths my father walked And they never seen no repairs since the year 1984 Actually it was before that It was before Pac But before my eyes I can see the fact That we already treading the same bush paths That led our fathers through the wilderness and Ha! You really wanna think that chicken and fries Are any different from that quail and manna? Hey listen let tell you how they stories turned out None of ‘em made it alive, they died [HOOK (Edako):] I be like la la la This is de javu What we've seen before Coming right back at you I be like la la la I've been in these shoes We've been here before [VERSE 2:] We been at this point before in this season We hit an iceberg, everything sinking Jack's in the water, love sacrificial But their hearts turn cold and the man would be freezing You made sacrifices, they became gods Sacrificed your art just to gain they heart But they remained numb to your prayers for change Then hit you with a storm What a pretense for rain I know, I know But we done rode down this road before So when critics are rolling stones Just know that you ain't rode it first They did it to Jesus (They did it to Jesus my Lord o) And did it to Stephen (But Stephen was just like my Lord o) Father forgive ‘em they don't know what they do So I be on the Rock (On the Rock like Movado) But I feel it on me So I pray to the Father when they crush my existence I ask for the grace not to hold it against them I wonder a dying man thinking ‘bout vengeance How many leaders you need and yet pray for they d**h? (And yet pray for they d**h) Very many evil men exist that should die but it was (Mandela instead) They replaced a criminal with Jesus So why are you surprised? (Actually it's fear) Seven nominations and not one win they thought (We got the snake by its head) Crap done hit the fan you just don't remember man Judas part of that twelve like that December man How many leaders you say you love But ain't heed they words and then pray for they fall? You throwing these fits but you looking for seizures Like people at summer you anticipate fall Is it MDK or KB you say You hoping for a Stephen Curry at the NBA? If I had to keep on guessing or just had to roll a dice The lot definitely fall upon the man Lecrae The man who gave us the “Background” You say he misleading? Tell me the “Rebel” he be of the devil He's full of the evil, you feeling ‘em demons? (Really?) So when I say “I know these moments would come” I done seen it in my dreams Pardon my visions of woe, but so long as you getting the messages written between That the days would come when the love turns war And the sweet turns sour, put the vinegar to work When these stones come crashing through your gla** house party Make sure you keep to heart these words about it If you lose your life you can save it, you can bank on it If you trying to save your life you gon' bankrupt it That's a warning for when you file for that bankruptcy So while y'all stuck in suspension Wondering what happens next, (What happens next?) I know how the story ends De Javu in the end we win [HOOK:] I be like la la la This is de javu What we've seen before Coming right back at you I be like la la la I've been in these shoes We've been here before
