"I never came from a broken home, the system came and broke my home and now my bros are sitting in cells like chromosomes" - Dave is the realest guy out here love the Six Paths EP keep that workrate up your a legend!
No-one even clocked the bars "ps g, do what ever ma say, you've got something to lose" PSG - Marseille and Toulouse are all football clubs maddest bars big up santan
"PS G (PSG), do what ever Ma say (Marseille), you got something to lose (Toulouse) but nothing to prove, thats the realest rap i ever fucking wrote" JEEEEEZZZZ yes Dave it really is! sick word play
One of the realist UK rap videos I've heard in a decade, includes everything from Blackbox, SB's to Linkup's etc. Real soul and passion always shines through, regardless if he blows or not, this is mad talent and needs to be appreciated
A man completely shut down his peer group. Pause it at 4:56 and look how most man in the room are looking at him. Them man are beyond impressed but certain man can't show it!
Still, to this day, one of the best things I've ever heard. Has a permanent place in my headphones, reminds me that hip-hop really is art and as much as it might not seem like it sometimes - the art is still alive, still thriving.
Been watching this for around 3 years and still obsessed with it. Dave goes in so hard from start to finish. I feel sorry for the guy he's passing the mic too😂
When Dave's times up they will play this over and over...16 and the gift of rap...the gift of expressing yourself...the gift of masco hip hop self therapy was there.
Just because this was uploaded on youtube when he was 17, doesn't mean this cypher wasn't recorded when he was 16. He could've had it laying around somewhere and decided to upload it a bit late.

It's crazy when I heard him so long ago... I'm glad to be following his journey. Huge inspiration to me and hopefully many others. He speaks truth all the time
crazy to think he was only 15/16 when he dropped this, shows how far he’s from everyone in the rap game best freestyle i’ve heard, i’ve been coming back to this just about everyday for 5 years, you can’t get tired of this .dave the goat 🐐 “and tryna make you see what i can is talking to the deaf describing colour to a blind man” best bar of all time 💯
This is some crazy masterpiece... You could see man was really spitting from within then times and the pains in his eyes . Ain't no rapper close to Dave🥶
Bruv i like how the description is just yeah fam, my guy knows he's destined to be a legend and it's maddd how we're watching it happen infront of us now
Best to ever do it from the UK. No one tops the come up of Dave. Straight from the heart. Man lived a tough life and put it in all of his verses. His success is well deserved. Big up Santan bludcarrrt Dave 🎉
"Now my brothers in the cam with the OP1, both my brothers missing I'm the only son, sometimes I sit and think like I'm the chosen one" He always has had the real talk bars!!
I’ve listened to this thousands of times and yet there’s full bars that catch me off guard, ‘goham like gokus son’ like how have I only just appreciated that line, Dave been the GOAT since day
just got that lyric: ps g (psg) do whatever ma say (marsellie) you got something to lose (toulouse) but nothing to lose (letter from he's bro in pen soo deep 😔)
This is the best UK freestyle ever. The hunger and passion is incredible and the tone of his voice makes it real. He's a best lyricist. "Going ham like Goku son" 🐲 Dragon ball z bars jhezz
this just came up on my recommended and wow, thank you youtube algorithm for showing me this. this is pure greatness and everyone in that room knew he was gonna make it, this is real music💯‼️
That man just said “Never came from a broken home, the system came and broke my home” and then he said “Thats just a warmup”. Hes something else man. REAL GOAT.

The fact this is only on 1.7 million shows that certain man are lying about being on Dave from day
I wasn’t with him from day 1 but what you said is so true not just with Dave but so many other artists
u seen over a million people say they've been on Dave from day??
youaregoingdownhard the blackbox freestyle is the real classic
Sam Wooto nah but I’m at least 10,000 of these views 😁

Had to be done after hearing Psychodrama. This is where it all began ahhhhhh cmonn

No matter how many times I watch this I can’t help but feel bad for the guy that went next
brudda had the guts to freestyle with a lisp after that masterpiece gotta respect it
I feel sorry for whoever took the mic after Dave. There’s no one in that room coming close to what Dave just dropped
I would've just walked out tbh
You could tell hes shocked from what hes just witnessed

Wow
When Dave's times up they will play this over and over...16 and the gift of rap...the gift of expressing yourself...the gift of masco hip hop self therapy was there.
“I cant shank man and go jail i got too much talent, but I’m facing niggas that wanna go jail.. they need the ratings” realest rap. Too relatable.
I had bailiffs (bae lifts) awaiting like I was picking up my girl
ahhhh shit
good decipher
James Weighell dammnnnn how does this man think of this shit in a fucking freestyle
James Weighell never even clocked that after hearing it 2000000 times lol
you actually have to come back every now and again to listen to this masterpiece!! I cant believe Dave was only 16 years old in this video, wow.
Goat just dropped his second album. Had to come back to this.
"I never came from a broken home, system came and broke my home" - that line hits hard
16 years old he was already too far ahead of everyone else in the game
Guy is one of the most talented to ever come out of the uk, crazy to see he came from nothing
Asif he did this at the age of 16
yh.. bc he was 17 in this

[Verse 1]
Brother would you ride for me?
And if I died today
Would you put some shells in a nine and go and ride for me?
Brother would you ride for me?
Cause brother I would ride for you
I'd load up a nine for you or sit and do life for you
Brother would you look after my wifey, If I touched the cells
Or would you go behind my back, betray me and fuck my girl
Brother would you smile when I'm up and let me share it with you or would you take it in my sleep
Brother here's the Issue
I never came from a broken home, the system came and broke my home
And now my bro's are sitting in cells like chromosomes
I hope the dough don't tear us apart, but I know the roads
I know my bro's got love for me, I love them back, I know the code
Would you chat to my mum and see if she's ....
Listen man
Look lemme go back
Little tingz, little tingz
It's just a warm up
[Verse 2]
Yo
Listen
Dave
Look
Real stuff
Look
Tried and tested
My lifestyle's reckless
In and out, I'm stressed
Shit
I write till my head spins Living in a squalor for a while, this isn't nice bruv
Scales, sizer, visits with lifers
I don't care bout your lifes bruv
Your packs or your likers
I've been licking out squares and missing every fucking time bruv
Lifestyle stressful
Yeah sometimes I cry
My mum makes that face and bruv I see it in her eyes and I breakdown
But you ain't ever had a breakdown
Driving to Cookham Wood in a whip and it breaks down
And you're stressing in the visit cause your brother's running late now
You ain't never felt numb and seen your older brother's face in a paper
And you're looking at your mum and she's lifeless
I had to phone Juss
Real shit, on my mums
All the phone calls I made for the funds
I was never on my ones
I had the realest from the jump Are you fucking mad!
Bare niggas change and man I used to rate
Stuck in the same place
Selling draws or eighths
I put four on your place
If you war with my mates
I put p's in your back, put corn on your plate
Cat D, Cat P, Cat A
It's a myth bruv
I've lived this
Cookham, Elmley, Feltham, Swinford, Wandsworth, Tempside, Highdown, Brixton, Ford
My brothers getting bored
My mother still poor
My money feel short
All the Prada that I bought
A quick fix, I'm distraught
Dying in designer, I need slow money quick
I should've bought a nine bar and fed the whole fucking strip
But I didn't
I was concerned with all these bitches tryna Twitter me
Girls never made me a penny
I swear brother it's killing me
And now they wanna talk like all these girls are getting into me
I fuck her three times cause she ain't never seen a trilogy (trilla g)
I'm from a land where niggas lick and trap
And all the flyest niggas probably got the thinnest stack
And all the broke niggas still broke
Taking pics with racks to them ears, them niggas actually queer
And yeah niggas do die
So I'll run if they back the strap
Hand in hand
My moneys in cards like match attax
How I [?]
I'm fucking confused
I'm struggling to keep up with man who got nothing to lose
I can't shank man and go jail
I got way too much potential But I'm facing niggas that will that'll sccrrrrrr up in a rental
Cause they wanna go jail
Yeah, they need ratings
No future
It's frustrating
So how I draw hate
Bruv I'm fucking confused
My brother still writing to me
I dropped tears on that letter
PS G do what ever ma say
You got something to lose
But nothing to prove
And that's the realest rap that I ever fucking wrote
I can demonstrate broke
I need digits in my world
I had bailiffs waiting like I was picking up my girl
No talking in the station, real niggas never tell
Nah
Them niggas onto us
Them pussies follow us
Blade brown disciples Bragging bout who buys fools
I hate it
I hate my own name shit
Cause when it comes on, I never like what David (Dave did)
Still I put the base in balls like Babe Ruth
Niggas call me Blackbox like an oldschool game cube
Back for the cypher
40k on my Blackbox
Feeling like a hero, in my college I was Hancock
But I'm cool
I don't need all the views
Just a few real niggas and my brothers out them fucking prisons
Them dickheads don't believe me
This rap scene needs me
My teachers weren't surprised, they said this music ting was easy
From when I spoke about my dad and Ms [?] used to cry
I put my soul in my rhymes, I never do this for the hype

“Are you fucking mad” gets me every time man
It's crazy when I heard him so long ago... I'm glad to be following his journey. Huge inspiration to me and hopefully many others. He speaks truth all the time

It's now 2024 and I'm still banging this
I was mesmerized, age 11 when this dropped 2023 it still feels just as surreal watching it
crazy to think he was only 15/16 when he dropped this, shows how far he’s from everyone in the rap game best freestyle i’ve heard, i’ve been coming back to this just about everyday for 5 years, you can’t get tired of this .dave the goat 🐐 “and tryna make you see what i can is talking to the deaf describing colour to a blind man” best bar of all time 💯
Facts
This is some crazy masterpiece... You could see man was really spitting from within then times and the pains in his eyes . Ain't no rapper close to Dave🥶
anyone else keep revisiting this to remind themselves of how far he's come
Bruv i like how the description is just yeah fam, my guy knows he's destined to be a legend and it's maddd how we're watching it happen infront of us now
0:22 Watch the 2 guys on the left of the screen throughout the first few bars. You can see them realizing Dave's a genius.
Best to ever do it from the UK. No one tops the come up of Dave. Straight from the heart. Man lived a tough life and put it in all of his verses. His success is well deserved. Big up Santan bludcarrrt Dave 🎉
only started listening to dave like a year ago found this a week ago absolutely brilliant, that flute or whatever in the beat is so good!
I just had to come back to this one. We all knew, at this point in time u was goin places. Goat, prove me wrong pls
Real talk g 💯
"Now my brothers in the cam with the OP1, both my brothers missing I'm the only son, sometimes I sit and think like I'm the chosen one" He always has had the real talk bars!!
I’ve listened to this thousands of times and yet there’s full bars that catch me off guard, ‘goham like gokus son’ like how have I only just appreciated that line, Dave been the GOAT since day
‘I had bailiffs waiting like I was picking up my girl’ (bae lifts) mad underrated
this rap scene did need you bro, thank you
Nearly 2020 still watching this gotta come back every now and then to remind me Santan was doing this at 16
Pure emotion in this man, always come back to it
"Sometimes I think I was the chosen one" became a bigger bar every year since
Come back to this every day. Thanks for gracing us with this talent 🫶
Still hasn’t topped this and probably never will - one of the best tunes of all time
just got that lyric: ps g (psg) do whatever ma say (marsellie) you got something to lose (toulouse) but nothing to lose (letter from he's bro in pen soo deep 😔)
Nothing to prove*
This was daves 8mile moment
Real Talk. All from the heart. He deserved all the success after this. Nothing tops it
Dave should be known globally like GLOBALLY !!!! Swear it gets better every time I come back to watch this !! his time is here !!
1:15 Chills. Actual chills.
Still listening to this in September 2020 just to remind what real rap sounds like💯
Still listening to this banger of a tune to this day ‼️
same realest rap i ever heard
You just have to come back to this atleast once every year!
Taking this one into 2025.
"My brothers sitting in cells like chromosomes" thats a bar
Mad how I get shivers from listening to this every time
This is the best UK freestyle ever. The hunger and passion is incredible and the tone of his voice makes it real. He's a best lyricist. "Going ham like Goku son"
🐲 Dragon ball z bars jhezz
And the piccolo and gohan bars just before that
this just came up on my recommended and wow, thank you youtube algorithm for showing me this. this is pure greatness and everyone in that room knew he was gonna make it, this is real music💯‼️
That man just said “Never came from a broken home, the system came and broke my home” and then he said “Thats just a warmup”. Hes something else man. REAL GOAT.
mandatory to come back to this every once in a while
[Intro]
Ayy, listen
Is this working, yeah?
Cool, look
[Verse 1]
Brother, would you ride for me? And if I died today
Would you put some shells in a nine and go and ride for me?
Brother, would you ride for me? Cause brother I would ride for you
I'd load up a nine for you or sit and do life for you
Brother would you look after my wifey, If I touched the cells
Or would you go behind my back, betray me and fuck my girl
Brother would you smile when I'm up and let me share it with you
Or would you take it in my sleep, brother here's the sssue
I never came from a broken home, the system came and broke my home
And now my bro's are sitting in cells like chromosomes
I hope the dough don't tear us apart, but I know the roads
I know my bro's got love for me, I love them back, I know the code
Would you chat to my mum and see if she's...
Listen man
Look, let me go back
Little tings, little tings
It's just a warm up, look
[Verse 2]
Yo
Listen, Dave, look, real stuff, look
Tried and tested, my lifestyle's reckless
In and out, I'm stressed, shit, I write 'til my head spins
Living in a squalor for a while, this isn't nice bruv
Scales, sizer, visits with lifers
I don't care bout your lives bruv, your packs or your Lycas
I've been licking out squares and missing every fucking time bruv
Lifestyle stressful, yeah sometimes I cry
My mum makes that face and bruv I see it in her eyes
And I breakdown, but you ain't ever had a breakdown
Driving to Cookham Wood in a whip and it breaks down
And you're stressing in the visit cause your brother's running late now
You ain't never felt numb and seen your older brother's face
In a paper, and you're looking at your mum and she's lifeless
I had to phone Juss Real shit, on my mums
All the phone calls I made for the funds
I was never on my ones I had the realest from the jump, are you fucking mad?
Bare niggas change and man I used to rate
Stuck in the same place, selling draws or eighths
I put four on your place, if you war with my mates
I put p's in your back, put corn on your plate
Cat D, Cat B, Cat A, it's a myth bruv, I've lived this
Cookham, Elmley, Feltham, Swinford
Wandsworth, Tempside, Highdown, Brixton, Ford
My brothers getting bored, my mother still poor
My money feel short, all the Prada that I bought
A quick fix, I'm distraught
Dying in designer, I need slow money quick
I should've bought a nine bar and fed the whole fucking strip, but I didn't
I was concerned with all these bitches tryna Twitter me
Girls never made me a penny, I swear brother it's killing me
And now they wanna talk like all these girls are getting into me
I fuck her three times cause she ain't never seen a trilogy
I'm from a land where niggas lick and trap
And all the flyest niggas probably got the thinnest stack
And all the broke niggas still broke
Taking pics with racks to them ears, them niggas actually queer
And yeah niggas do die, so I'll run if they back the strap
Hand in hand, my money's in cards like Match Attax
How I'm draw, I'm fucking confused
I'm struggling to keep up with man who got nothing to lose
I can't shank man and go jail, I got way too much potential
But I'm facing niggas that'll skrr up in a rental
Cause they wanna go jail
Yeah, they need ratings
No future, it's frustrating
So how I draw hate, bruv I'm fucking confused
My brother still writing to me, I dropped tears on that letter
PS G do what ever ma say
You got something to lose
But nothing to prove
And that's the realest rap that I ever fucking wrote
I can demonstrate broke, I need digits in my world
I had bailiffs waiting like I was picking up my girl
No talking in the station, real niggas never tell, nah
Them niggas onto us, them pussies follow us
Blade brown disciples, bragging bout who buys fools
I hate it, I hate my own name shit
'Cause when it comes on, I never like what David
Still I put the base in balls like Babe Ruth
Niggas call me Blackbox like an old school game cube
Back for the cypher
40k on my Blackbox
Feeling like a hero, in my college I was Hancock
But I'm cool
I don't need all the views
Just a few real niggas and my brothers out them fucking prisons
Them dickheads don't believe me
This rap scene needs me
My teachers weren't surprised, they said this music ting was easy
From when I spoke about my dad and Ms Wiles used to cry
I put my soul in my rhymes, I never do this for the hype
Listen
Mandem
[Verse 3]
Been trying make you see what I can
It's talking to the deaf, describing colour to a blind man
I was putting hundreds in my cupboards, it was light fam
Man forget I'm 16, brother I'm still nice fam
I was talking grands from a yungen
Had plans from a yungen
Screaming RIP Gran from a yungen
I never had a penny for a patty or a dumpling
I was chasing catties, chasing patties for a pumpin'
I was just a brace face, Dave never had a name to him
We had a skatty little spinner and it never had a name to it
Now everybody's got rambos and jangos
Blades pushing through tee's
Now brudda watch your man go
Blades pushing through tee's
Now brudda watch your man go
Gloves for them spinners, that was Kangol
I was 15, I never banged goals
I banged visits like lawyers
My brother said see ya and I wanted a tom like Sawyer
My teacher was a MILF, so that pain was getting milked like soya
In between sticks like Neuer
Sitting in a cell, in a piccolo for the mula
I used to go ham like Müller
I used to go ham like Goku's son
And now my brothers in the can with the ob1
Both my brothers missing, I'm the only son
Sometimes I sit and think that I'm the chosen one
Whizzing on the M1
Fuck you and your dead gun
Most my niggas shooting like all your niggas can get some
Tks fam
Dave u are the most passionate rapper in London. True bars. You are the best man. Absolute legend. Everyone feels ur pain. MADDDD
Bankroll Dave 💯💯💯 this will always be the realist rap he ever wrote... no debate
The way there all in the booth bouncing off eachother feeling each other’s energy makes this so much better
Who’s back here in 2022? This and the other black box is timeless. Big up Dave.
When he said "I'll write until my head spins"
I felt that in my soul.
Digging your music my dude 💪🔥🔥🔥
This instrumental is a killa, and I've been replaying this video every day for the last week. Dave is a treasure to be learnt from 👏
you know the 2nd beat?
@@w1.180 isaiah rashad - Shot you down
Safe for the beat bro!
U know the first beat ?
If I was the man coming after Dave I would pick up my cellphone and pretended I had important call.
2020 and still giving me goose bumps when those deep bars hit. Rate Dave he has never made a bad song. The way he says exactly what he wants while still rhyming it is a myth 💯
“This working yeh?” Makes sure the mic is working before he spits one of the craziest things blackbox has ever heard on the scene.
"PS Gs do whatever Ma say" that bar is soo underrated
