DEJA VU Video (MV)

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 feel in debt, I'll never forget the pain that I felt
Nobody 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
