These lyrics, performed by Jay-Z and Beyoncé, contain several elements that warrant parental guidance. The most notable concern is Jay-Z's verse, which contains a drug reference using thinly veiled euphemisms ('one you take in vein while the other you sniffin''), references to illegal activity and evading law enforcement ('po-po try to convict him'), and references to street life and drug dealing ('my dough keep the scales tippin'). The line 'Your sexiness is so appealing' and general romantic obsession themes are mild but present. There are also references to Jay-Z's street past ('used to run base') which carries a drug-dealing connotation. The primary theme of the song is romantic longing and emotional obsession, which is relatively tame, but the rap verse elevates the content level with its drug and criminal justice references. The overall romantic theme is not sexually explicit but contains enough mature undertones and drug/crime references to warrant caution for younger audiences.
Bass (Uh) Hi hat (Uh) 808 (Uh) Jay? (Uh-huh.) Ready? (Uh-huh.) Let's go get 'em (Uh-huh. C'mon.) I used to run base like Juan Pierre Now I run the bass, hi hat and the snare I used to bag girls like Birkin Bags Now I bag B (Boy you hurtin' that) Brooklyn Bay where they birthed me at Now I be everywhere, the nerve of rap The audacity to have me whippin' curtains back Me and B, she about to sting Stand back Baby, seems like everywhere I go I see you, from your eyes, your smile It's like I breathe you, helplessly I reminisce Don't want to compare nobody to you Boy, I try to catch myself But I'm out of control Your sexiness is so appealing I can't let it go Oh Know that I can't get over you 'Cause everything I see is you And I don't want no substitute Baby I swear it's Déjà Vu Know that I can't get over you 'Cause everything I see is you And I don't want no substitute Baby I swear it's Déjà Vu Seeing things that I know can't be Am I dreaming? When I saw you walking past me Almost called your name Got a better glimpse and then I looked away It's like I'm losing it Boy, I try to catch myself But I'm out of control Your sexiness is so appealing I can't let it go, oh Know that I can't get over you 'Cause everything I see is you And I don't want no substitute Baby I swear it's Déjà Vu Know that I can't get over you 'Cause everything I see is you And I don't want no substitute Baby I swear it's Déjà Vu Yes!
