DEJA VU

Still lookin' at their faces and seein anticipation Been livin in the matrix, always known that I would make it And this might be an overstatement— I swear I'm humble But I've been workin as if my placement was adjacent to the greatest The game is evolving, doing everything I said I'd do Did it twice, sometimes it be feelin like it's Deja Vu What I came to do is let you know I made it through Word to Troy, I heard you made the news I swear this life is unexplainable Man they hate it when I prophesize But now a young brothas comin' on the rise Never getting recognized is not somethin that could phase me Cause when I started out nobody around me would play me or take me serious 'Til the local station decided to play me and pay me respect Never asked for a check And even though I'm still in debt I'll never forget the pain that I felt No one told me to hang in there I wanted to hang from a belt I came a long way, no brakes, always had faith That I would escape And right now, and right now And I'm getting what I gave, And I'm cutting up cake Man I knew I had to see it through I'm alright now, I'm alright now Livin' life like imma die and face no consequence Everywhere I go I'm getting compliments for my accomplishments They like, "Dominic, how did you get so confident?" I'm just transparent, like Caitlyn Jenner in politics A lot of yall will never understand that, you're just yes men Before I made music you used to be my best friend No one gave me handouts, not even for a handshake Nothing was sticking before I could afford the Pam spray Now thanks to the Family, now my homies on the pay roll Now your money means nothing like you was payin pesos Lay low, homie your spot is what I came for D. Paul is the name Droppin the mixtape is all it's finna take so You call me an a-hole? Well now my city is watching me go like Quavo, you lame ho Oh, and for those of y'all who ain't know The student became the teacher, it's time to take notes I came a long way, no brakes, always had faith That I would escape And right now, and right now And I'm getting what I gave, And I'm cutting up cake Man I knew I had to see it through I'm alright now, I'm alright now I came a long way, no brakes, always had faith That I would escape And right now, and right now And I'm getting what I gave, And I'm cutting up cake Man I knew I had to see it through I'm alright now, I'm alright now
