"Déjà Vu" lyrics
(feat. Helixx C. Armageddon)
[James Baldwin:]
Your manhood is slowly being destroyed hour by hour, day by day and your woman's watching it
And the love you have for each other is being destroyed day by day
It's not her fault, it's not your fault
But there it goes, because the pressures under which you live are inhuman
[Helixx Armageddon:]
Days on fire
Some say that time flies when
When I see you, all those memories
All that energy
Deja vu
[Rhymefest:]
No identity
For these boys emotional injuries
Maybe you are not the man you pretend to be
They tell me men don't cry
So now I just won't cry
My blood pressure through the roof
And damn I don't know why
I self-medicate
Blowin' this smoke to the most high
Ya spirit is weak
If they can't win, then they won't try
Temper tantrums
Ya first reaction's be the worst reaction
She said you need to grow up
He turned around and smacked her
She swung and knocked him backwards
Then grabbed her bags and packed 'em
They shorty watching this shit
Now look how that impacts him
He's taught to not express his feelings, you can't even ask him
He can't express feelings man don't even ask him!
When these men is raised by women
Boys don't know the role they fit in
Energy be feminine when
You and momma y'all be twinin'
Daddy's gone and you resent it
Now he makes the same decisions
In the mirror, spitting image!
[Helixx Armageddon:]
Deja vu
[James Baldwin:]
Yeah well be careful as a woman of what you demand of a man
[Nikki Giovanni:]
I demand that he be a man, but the provision part
[James Baldwin:]
Yeah but you can't say you demand it, you have to suggest it
[Nikki Giovanni:]
No that's your ego that says that, no I demand it, now you deal with that!
[Helixx Armageddon:]
Days on fire
Some say that time flies when
When I see you, all those memories
All that energy
Deja vu
Your manhood is slowly being destroyed hour by hour, day by day and your woman's watching it
And the love you have for each other is being destroyed day by day
It's not her fault, it's not your fault
But there it goes, because the pressures under which you live are inhuman
[Helixx Armageddon:]
Days on fire
Some say that time flies when
