Lyricism is on separate levels. While certain man will try to force beef to stay relevant, young Santan drops a banger that proves he can take the lyrical champion award of the month without question.
J P I mean Stormzy is a legend But Dave... man!!, He’s a genius, he’s so wise, smart. Other rappers want to spread beef and negativity but Dave is always trying to inspire and send a message to others
I am a Black father trying to be the change I want to see. I have been teaching my son age 5 to build computers .. he knows all of the components on his own at age 5
Dave has saved my life. When my best friend died when we were 13, I didn't want to live anymore, listening to Dave shows me that life will work out if you work hard. Thank you, you are my inspiration.
I remember when this song came out. So many people believed he had a ghost writer because he was too young to be this talented. I'm glad he finally proved all them haters wrong with all the bangers he's released over time.
I'm not even british, I wish I could be to understand in depth the lyrics, lots of references to places in UK, but the same way this dude touch me with the soul and flow, awesome!
Real one, hustle with a passion and a pure heart that's where people recognised you for what impact have you given to them. Raw and rare artist I've found. Blessed
this is genius. Dave this song is like motivation 1000 and some people really need it. I'm so happy my friend introduced me to Dave and I found this song
Muhibur Rahman kind of like when he starts to try and get songs in the main chart by singing about shit like hoes and that. It's what half the songs in the UK top 40 are. Just hopes he keeps talking about real shit like in this song
I wish guys like Santan and others get noticed and blow more then guys like 67, them man are there to touch a paigon but Santan here is ready to touch a nation fam...
@@Tom-vu1wr if he did the same thing over and over again he’d die out, and he’s just trying different styles. I loved psychodrama and a little of six paths
Nah I was honestly about to cry listening to this man it felt like you were speaking directly to me, your music is so incredibly moving. The youtes need more music like this man. Anyone in general stuggling needs to hear this tbh. Seriously you could really change so many lives man. I hope people are really absorbing what you're saying.
Robinho has played for Real Madrid, Man City, Milan and Santos All top teams in their country and he still plays for the national team, he went from living in favelas to being a millionaire. I dont know how that is wasting his talents
This is BEAUTIFUL. Few rap songs have moved me to near tears Cus I feel there's so much I wanna do with my life and I partly feel like I've wasted a lot of time but at the same time I'm scared of moving forward Cus of all the opposition I'd have to face.
On his ep ‘six paths’, he is picturing how is future will be, at the artwork we can see 6 different Dave’s, one’s studying, one is rapping, one is a roadman, other is in jail, other is playing piano and the last one is holding a briefcase(?) , thank god what Dave’s pictured in picture me, is right, he is on top now, his merchandise always sold out. Dave’s the best rapper ever!
From picture me to Question time , you're very motivational and the skills you have are used to inspire. YOU & Your family should be proud of what you've accomplished and this is just the beginning.
Well what can I say, Santan Dave is a true believer in music and the power of it, especially when it comes to the message being heard by those of younger ages. The punchlines had my ears on fire once again 🔥 it's good to see something other than your usual drill/trap music now and again 💥 keep up the good work bro
I love Dave and his Music because he just portrays his and other people's lives in a meaningful song he deserves all his loyal fans and he should have a lot more recognition.
Oh wow what a DEEP message....picture your vision mentally...EVERYTHING in this world starts within the MIND...the mental plane as an idea, thought or vision before it manifests in the physical world...thank you Dave your message, so profound from such a young soul!
Real words. Now my lyrical role model. The world needs more people like you and if I ever make it and we get to do a collab I'll tell you that face to face.
“I put VERBS in a sentence, theres ACTIONS in my letters” I’ve been listening to this song since it came out and I only just caught this I feel so dumb smh
Dave is hardest ever, i ever come across in whole rap game in the world, "man words deep like a well, open your ears well to get th deeps meaning of his words in head like borehole"........man like dave never borrow words, like the colonise country's...... His name santan ,buh praying to almighty to guide him fdom saitan...🇬🇲🇬🇲🇬🇲Dave amma big fan alll the gambia.... I can full song in your name dave love you fam
Legend. The lyrics to this song make me feel like I'm listening to a book. He is so brilliant. These lyrics are so unique and deep. Really hit home for me. He is so underrated
I wish Santan Dave continued success; he dropping powerful & life altering messages in his lyrics. There is definitively hope for the youth coming up. Respect Santan; I see you👍🏾
"Picture me, 23 I didn't chase my dreams My mum wanted me to do finance, so I came off beats And now I'm sitting at a desk, with a 2 2 in finance" Fml this is my reality though😫 Mum suggested accounting & finance at uni so I picked it after giving up on football (rejected from a SPL youth academy) and not getting the grades to do what I wanted (engineering). If you're still in school don't take this song lightly bro, take the advice given, can't stress. Sounds cliché but chase ur dreams life's no game. I don't even have to

However some top jobs require 2.1 or better
This guy is what the yutes need to look up to if anything but yet some look up to 67, as well as grown men... its sad. Reading a book and showing talent don't make you a nerd or a neek... picking up a strap and nank don't make you safe or cool. They need to think about it, Life is precious.
So glad i found this artist especially being in America when mostly what's considered good isn't at all. This is pure lyrical skill and a vivid story being told. That's real music.
Dave, One day I will meet you, because im also grinding on my own thing, but trust me, your music has emotion along with power and that inspires me. The fact your local also shows that leaving the endz aint impossible. Your past experience is something I can never understand beacuse its too deep and personal. ive carefully listened to your lyrics in everything and trust me, your hunger will take you far.
'You can work a 9-5 if it makes you smile at night' actually made me reflect and made me a lot happier with life at the minute.
hi! how's life 3 years later? :) You still happy with life?

You're the realist UK will ever see. About time we have someone everyone can look up to, my favourite artist legit and he's younger then me
"Don't let anybody tell you you can't run, dance sing be a baller, u can be a king" Thankyou so much Dave I needed to hear that real talk

Wats 2 2 tho bro
+STOLP ALMIGHTY
A 2 2 is the uni equivalent of a C.
1st (First Class) = 70% - 100% = Grade A
2.1 (Upper second class [aka "two one"]) = 60% - 69% = Grade B
2.2 (Lower second class ["two two"]) = 50% - 59% = Grade C
3rd (Third class) = 40% - 49% = Grade D
I think most jobs require 2 2 minimum (if that job requires you to have a uni degree).
However some top jobs require 2.1 or better
lol u only need 5 Ds to do engineering woah u must have failed your gcses terribly
hes talking engineering at uni not college g
