Is This Just History Lyrics

We've been here before, I can feel the déjà vu

Same old stories, but the faces all brand new

Spinnin' like a record, round and round we go

Tryna move forward, but the past won't let us grow

Ooooh, tell me now, are we learning or just playin' pretend

Ooooh, every lesson, do we break it or bend

Is this just history, ooh

Or are we caught in a mystery, ooh yeah

Tryna break free from the chains we made

But the rhythm of time keeps us locked in place

Is this just history, tell me now

Tell me now

Marchin' to the beat of a song we've heard before

Pages turn, but the story's at a closed door

We sing about love, but keep fightin' wars

Buildin' up walls while we talk about more

Ooooh, tell me now, are we learning or just playin' pretend

Ooooh, every lesson, do we break it or bend

Is this just history, ooh

Or are we caught in a mystery, yeah yeah

Tryna break free from the chains we made

But the rhythm of time keeps us locked in place

Is this just history, tell me now

Bassline's rollin', keep it tight, keep it groovin

But if we ain't changin', tell me, what's the movement

Lookin' at the past like it's just some movie scenes

But we press rewind when we should be breakin' free

Is this just history

Or are we caught in a mystery, ooh yeah

Tryna break free from the chains we made

But the rhythm of time keeps us locked in place

Is this just history, tell me now

Yeah, tell me what you see

Is this the future, or just history
