Deja Vu Lyrics

[Intro: J. Cole]
Huh, ayy, put a finger in the sky if you want it, n!gga
Ayy, put two fingers in the sky if you want her
Ayy, put a finger in the sky if you want it, n!gga
Ayy, put two fingers in the sky if you want her
Ayy, put a finger in the sky if you want it, n!gga
Ayy, put two fingers in the sky if you want her
Ayy, put a finger in the sky if you want it, n!gga
Ayy, put two fingers in the sky if you want her

[Verse 1: J. Cole]
Sometimes you worry 'bout the things he can provide for ya
Whenever you around I seem to come alive for ya
I finally recognize the feelings that's inside for ya
Although I know your man and trust me he would die for ya
These quiet thoughts of you been going on for years now
I saw you in the party, soft lips, soft-spoken
I came and talked to you but homie interfered now
He introduced you as his girl and I was heartbroken
Some people talk about that love at first sight sh!t
To keep it real I don't know whether I believe it's true
But if it is then tell me if I'm wrong or right if
I fell in love with you before I ever even knew
I catch your eye then look away as if it never happened
At times I feel as though I'm caught up in a strange dream
If eyes could talk then mines would tell ya that I'm feeling you
Sometimes I swear your eyes be telling me the same thing

[Pre-Chorus: J. Cole]
She f**k with small-town n!ggas
I got bigger dreams (Bigger dream)
She f**k with small-town n!ggas
I got bigger dream (Bigger dream), hm listen
She f**k with small-town n!ggas
I got bigger dreams (Bigger dream)
She f**k with small-town n!ggas
I got bigger dream (Bigger dream), listen

[Chorus: J. Cole]
Club jumping, don't stop, off top
But you know we only go 'til 2 o'clock
Put yo motherf**king hood up, it's the weekend
Drop that, back that as* up and b!tches get to freaking
Last call at the bar, ladies get a drink
N!gga get some balls
Ain't no telling you gonna see that b!tch tomorrow
Stop holding up the wall waiting for the right song
Better holla 'cause you know they 'bout to cut the lights on

[Verse 2: J. Cole]
And put my number in it—
I'm staring at you from afar
I'm wondering 'bout you, like where you from and who you are
'Cause you a star, no, not the type that snort the white lines
I mean the type that light the night time, I heard you got a man
But who in their right mind letting you out the house alone?
Tell me is your house a home?
Why you in the club looking like you out to zone?
Now be discreet and pull out your phone and put my number in it
Text a n!gga when your man leave you unattended
On a scale from 1 to 10 that girl's a hundred and I want it
No question, I know destiny well
And though I sin the Lord blessing me still
Every saint got a past, every sinner got a future
Every loser gotta win and every winner gotta lose someday
They say it's just a matter of time
And if I had my way then you would be mine, huh

[Pre-Chorus: J. Cole]
She f**k with small-town n!ggas
I got bigger dreams (Bigger dream), yeah
She f**k with small-town n!ggas
I got bigger dream (Bigger dream), hm listen
She f**k with small-town n!ggas
I got bigger dreams (Bigger dream)
She f**k with small-town n!ggas
I got bigger dream (Bigger dream)

[Chorus: J. Cole]
Club jumping, don't stop, off top
But you know we only go 'til 2 o'clock
Put yo motherf**king hood up, it's the weekend
Drop that, back that as* up and b!tches get to freaking
Last call at the bar, ladies get a drink
N!gga get some balls
Ain't no telling you gonna see that b!tch tomorrow
Stop holding up the wall waiting for the right song
Better holla 'cause you know they 'bout to cut the lights on

[Bridge: J. Cole]
I know you were made for me but
Darling don't you wait for me 'cause
I can see the promised land but
I can't do no promising
I know you were made for me but
Darling don't you wait for me 'cause
I can see the promised land but
I can't do no promising

[Outro: J. Cole]
Ayy, put a finger in the sky if you want it, n!gga
Ayy, put two fingers in the sky if you want her
Ayy, put a finger in the sky if you want it, n!gga
Ayy, put two fingers in the sky if you want her
Ayy, put a finger in the sky if you want it, n!gga
Ayy, put two fingers in the sky if you want her
Ayy, put a finger in the sky if you want it, n!gga
Ayy, put two fingers in the sky if you want her
