Zander the Fourth - De Ja Vu

You never know like
Who can come across your music
That you may never meet or know
But your music can save their life
Yeah
You know who it is
It's
Zander the fourth
From the north
Wearing a Northface
Never had a court case
And I don't do no second or third or even fourth place
I'm coming for first
My cousin caught up in a jam like he was coming from work
Dang
I never entertain the family curse
I gotta make it to church
They sold the dream
But they ain't tell you that it came with some work
The pain came with some hurt
I told my dog if he gon stand then be Man of his word
Feel me
Flow nicer than a presidential view
From Michigan but still rock my Carolina Blue
Committed like I said I do
In grade school walking round singing my boo, my boo, my boo
And its funny how the times change
That was a prime age
See I was in a different mindframe
By prom age I was playing mind games
Now I'm playing one on one's with my Moms in the driveway
But Aye
I used to aim for perfection
But now my only aim is progression
And we don't Make no exceptions
I seen it like we made an investment
But now we reaping all the blessings invested
Yeah
My friend hit me up like
"Zander can we talk for second?"
I can hear it in his voice he was stressing
This gone take more than a second
But cool
I'll make the exception
Cause I can see all that he need is direction
Listen
Then he proceed to tell me that he deal with depression
Sitting in my car side to side like he made a confession
Man
In the present I'm trynna stay present
And I'd be lying if I said this was what I expected
Then I ask can I ask you a question
Do you mind if I make a suggestion
You said this is something from your past
So I really wanna know if I can I pray on your behalf?
With no resistance
He gave me permission
See
I knew this would take me a minute
Cause
I wanted to just let the words flow
Im praying that the Lord can speak something to his soul
It's something bout this moment that is irreversible
It's something bout that moment I could never let go
I could
Yeah
I could never let go
I could
I could never let
Woah
I closed my eyes and I prayed for the Lord to intercede
Can you give me more of you and I could give less of me, less of me?
He asked what I do when I'm need?
If I wasn't in this car I'd be praying on my knees
I said
I know it's a lot of things that you done seen
But
But more than anything
He just need you to believe
He just
He just need you to believe
Somebody wake me from this dream
It was a late night too
I wonder why this moment feel like de ja vu
De ja vu
De ja
Felt like I seen it before
I knew that he was in need
Felt like I needed it more
Man
Feel like I seen it before
I knew that he was in need
Felt like I needed it more
Uh
Feel like I seen it before
I knew that he was
Yeah
You may say we got a lot to lose
Lot to lose
But I think we got a lot to gain, gain
Through the storm was a lot of pain, pain
Tears flowing that's a lot of rain, rain
Through it all we seen a brighter day, day
I seen it coming from a mile away, away
Seen it coming from a mile away
Aye aye
And your music gon save lives too Bro
Like somebody has thought about committing suicide
And your song has probably changed their mindset
Like you gotta think your music is that powerful
