Dave - Drama lyrics

[Intro: Dave's Elder Brother] Like man was saying, bruv Many nights man prayed, bruv Somewhere someone's gonna help me through this, man Someone is gonna help bring me out of this sh**, y'know? Time, it took a while for man to recognise, boy, who you were gonna send And you know what? Mans, I'm very proud I'm very happy to see it's one of my own init, y'know? And boy, I know none of this is easy, y'know? I'm just proud to be, to be witnessing what's going on, man, y'know? [Verse: Dave] Look I don't know where to start But I just done my first psychodrama And I hope the world hears my craft I'm excited man, I pray you get to hear my craft From our childhood, our mother didn't hear me laugh I'm presenting you the future, I don't fear my past I ain't got a tattoo anywhere near my arms But best believe on my sleeves is where I wear my heart Do you know how easy it is to be a sinner? How many losses you need before you can be a winner? Reason with a criminal that needs to eat a dinner Is it survival of the fittest or is he a k**er? Losing dad was big, losing you was even bigger Never had a father and I needed you to be the figure We're forgetting that we had a brother that was even bigger We were figures just tryna figure out who could be a figure My brothers never spoke to each other when I was growing up I remember tryna to build a bridge, I wasn't old enough I pray I can hold the game for as long as you man can hold a grudge Years went by I know it's f**ed, I had to hold it up for mummy on my own I know it's tough, I got the coldest blood I remember when you got sentenced and I was throwing up It's like they took a piece of my freedom when I had opened up I just lost the only f**ing person that I idolised For my entire life I copied you to the finest line Bro, I have a flame in my mind I'm trying to firefight The pill I had to swallow wasn't bitter, it was cyanide I learn over time, separation issues I describe Are probably the reasons that I struggle feeling anything I ain't got a vision of a marriage or a wedding ring It's world domination in music or it ain't anything I'm obsessed, focused on the objective Tell a don yes, disagree, I object Used to treat my women like an object Girls want a monster come and see I'm the Loch Ness Settle for a lot less I just hope you're proud of me brother, it's been a long stretch You're my hero and prior to this, I was living on the edge like a house on a cliff But now I'm living in the present like my house was a gift I'm going psycho, this scene's mine bro Rappers wanna diss me, it's only online though They put the mic and soft in the micro Soft? Not I, bro Swimming's the only time I can lie though And lemme be genuine Anybody rich my age is American, kicking ball or inherited It only makes sense I'm independent knowing everything it happened how I'm telling it You n***as ain't getting it I'm coming from the struggle I survived and I'm still here Used to bump trains that's two ways, I don't feel fear I don't know trust, I know a tight bond will tear Like a good wig, I can't tell you if it's real here I'm from south London, brother, people getting k**ed here You can make a mill' but you can lose it if you're still here I lost over 30 grand to family, I'm still here The word don't appeal to me, you steal from me I'm still here Bro, I wasn't made for this I don't get a break, but I'm aware of what breaking is I wish you could take a hint as well as you can take the piss I don't even speak to our brother, man, I just pray for him It's never too late for him Life is at it's craziness, walls started caving in All the things I've seen would turn a theist, atheist I didn't get 99 marks in English, I was faking it I got 98 ‘cause I don't know what a vacation is If you saw God what would you say to him? If given the chance would you have taken it? If you could rewind time what would you change in it? Do you believe in what an angel is? Furthermore, do you believe in what the devil is? Do you believe that I can illustrate what Streatham is, then break the fourth​ wall and base Lesley on my relatives? I'm grateful for my life because I aimed for this Every bad moment every single f**ing day of this People looking at me, that's what fame can bring But to understand the stairs, you take steps then retrace the sh** I tell my circle, the future's ours, we're shaping it The past is just the reason I had came to this I thank God for the pain because it made me this [Outro: Dave's Elder Brother] I don't know if you remember those days, bruv In them days, there was one night in particular, bruv Came home and for some reason man put on a beat We were just in the front room, freestyling, bar for bar I don't even know how old you was these times, bruv Probably about, hmm, ten? Ten, nine? Yeah, man, if I think about it now, think about the transition Them days there, you had no bars But to see the stuff you're doing today, proper man, you what I mean? Thinking man's definitely blessed to see how the whole thing's come together From time, I think it was 'JKYL+HYD' man, you played man that one there Man was thinking, "Yo, this one here is a banger" I remember when I heard that one live on the airwaves for the first time bruv, we was pumping it Man come to my door was like, "Rah man, that's a bit loud you know?" I'm like, "Fam, that's my brudda" He was like, "Yeah?" And you know, on your birthday, man sent you a little card And it begins 'Jesse made seven of his sons pa** before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, "The Lord has not chosen these." So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?" "There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he's tending the sheep." Samuel said, "Send for him, we will not sit down to eat until he arrives." So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features And then the Lord said, "Rise and anoint him, he's the one."' Bro, you know what that means? Say no more man
