Dave - Drama lyrics

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 shit, 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?

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 killer? 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 hold the game for as long
As you man can hold a grudge
Years went by, I know it's fucked
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 fucking
Person that I idolised
For my entire life I copied you
Down to the finest line
Bro, I got 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 niggas aren'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 killed 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 craziest
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
Fucking day of this people looking at me
That's what fame can bring
But to understand the stairs
You take steps then retrace the shit
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
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 know I mean that
Thinking man's definitely blessed to see how
The whole ting's come together
From times when I think
It was 'JKYL+HYD' man
You played man that one there
Man was thinking, "Yo, this one
Here is a banger", bruv
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 pass 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
