upload video of you on the piano playing this (Admittedly basic) piece. Now do it while rappin Now play some actual piano pieces and we'll see how "the piano ain't that hard to play"
Kiz yes it is and it takes a lot of co ordination and time to rap as well as playing it then factor in that he creates his own pieces. Crazy and talented.
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
This is why I rate Dave more than any other rapper in the U.K scene right now!! He's giving out a positive message in his music! Also being able to rap/sing whilst playing the piano is one of the hardest things for a musician to do which further proves how talented this guy really is🙏🏻🙏🏻
What he said about 25 year old listening to some 16 year old rapping and there be like fuxk that. But I'm 24 heard every single thing he's released and it's more real than any of these other guys. He spits so much truth it actually hurts, humble, intelligent, talented.
Hanibalistic27 he’s just been through everything really, like he says he was working in finance while banging in the hood he’s both hood and book smart that’s where the multiple personality type thing comes from
Picture me, 23, a bag of sold out shows I made it out of music, I took all my bros And this merchandise is poppin, I sell all my clothes And all these hoes are ghost, I got one real girl 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 Eating pasta on my lunch break While I'm scribbling my rhymes And picture me, 17, in an all black suit Laying still in a coffin, surrounded by my crew Giving half-heart apologies For watching while they bottled me Or running when they shot at me You're next up if you prodigy, wait I meant poke a G Picture me, a road banger, I hope that you don't notice me No face for the road, my G Kill him in seven ways, lemon haze how I smoke a G Name can get you out the beef, pissed if you owe me Ps Them boys try and piss take, boy, what a mistake I'll come back with a shotty And blow your lungs out your ribcage Picture me a snitch, nah I couldn't picture that Picture me a snitch, nah I couldn't ever think of that Picture me with a baby mum That didn't wanna see me blow So she let my talent go to waste like Robinho I've been involved, I've seen the roads Where the good die young, and the bad get life And the ugly is the ugly, but Picture me, a legend, worldwide or in Streatham Known for words in a sentence I put verbs in a sentence There's action in my letters And I never compromise Nor follow what the trend is, I create my own style Cos I got my own agendas, I got music all that matters But what about the yutes that ain't athletes or rappers? What about the yutes that ain't athletes or rappers Picture you, I don't know your picture can you paint it for me? And can you take out all the man thats gonna taint it for me? And can you take out all the girls that's gonna waste it for me? Or illustrate how you're gonna get to all these places for me? And if you can't, then don't worry g you got time But you just need to paint a picture, or just sketch a draft Cos, how you know you're going down the wrong road If you're in a dark place, and you don't select a path But picture you talking loads about goals and riches With a phone, full of cro shots, hoes and bitches And a head filled with fast dreams I talk to God like it's RE About my picture cause I can't see I'm at war with my mind So I'm still with a sket getting Ed like Hardy And I don't mind Cause them man there all speakers like Parties I'm conflicted on this mission So I'm still in the mist with a black star on my waist like Kwame Guys are on my case It's like i wasn't dialling banks for some pay While you was busy flicking shanks for a name Or busy robbin' drugs, with a dipper Or you could call me Scofield Why? cause I got prison in my skin But I won't ever have a prison in my picture Listen to my scripture, like teachers with teardrops Principles a killer, all for the skrilla But, it's not hard It comes from within So don't let anybody tell you to put drugs in the cling And don't let anybody tell you you can't run, dance, sing, or be a baller You can be a king Now you can work a 9 to 5 if it makes you smile at night Money ain't a measure of success 'Cause you can have a billion and dead You can have 20 grand flat and live a long, long life with no stress So listen I don't know your picture, can you paint it for me? And can you tell me where you batch of friends is taking you And can you tell me what your aspirations are, your dreams Forget the money brother, tell me what makes you you Can you tell me why you wake up, what makes you tick What makes you smile, what makes you laugh What makes you sick Can you tell me why you're on this earth Can you tell me why you're living Is it in and out of prison Are you tryna touch a nation? Or are you tryna touch a paigon? You get your picture, get to painting Are you playing in a stadium? Or are you sitting in a station? You get your picture, get to painting Are you the guy inside the hospital That's praying that he makes it Or working with the surgeons and the nurses tryna save him Are you buried in a grave? For some pennies and a chain A memory that fades A picture you didn't paint I bet them boys think I'm panicking Pep Guardiola, G, I'm managing Stop saying that you beef me, it's embarrassing I never had these paigons, till my face was on this rapping ting Now every other yute is on chatty ting See me in a rave, it's black blades, lightsabers call me Anakin Music, money, paigons, education, fam I handle it I try so hard in my tracks to give a message But it's messed cah I'll still get you shredded by some savages I swear you don't know pressure Ask Jack, I had labels playing deal or no deal like I'm Noel Edmonds Independent, no pressure My whole team Nike'd out to the socks you should know better A-levels, no pressure And my ex just text me, she should know better I can still paint a picture, put a pen into my hand It's time to paint your picture my brother Now you can go get it
Still one of his best songs in my personal opinion like Thers one part of this tha jus gets me each time “don’t let anybody tell you put drugs in a cling don’t let anybody tell you can’t run dancing or be a baller you can be a king now you can work a nine to five if tha makes you smile at night money ain’t a measure of success cuz you can have a billion and dead and you can have 20 grand live a long long life with no stress” each time I hear it it’s even better then I first did 7 years ago 🙌🏻
the talent this kid has is insane, playin the keys and spittin fire. its a talent some never will accomplish and this kids younger than i am spitting like he's been an OG
one of the two people at the booth next to Dave were admiring him at 2:40, probably realizing how talented of a musician he was. they really discovered a talent here.
"Don't let anyone tell you cant run, dance, sing, or be a baller, you can be a king, now you can work from 9 to 5 if it makes you smile at night, money aint a messure of success."
the beauty in thiss mans eyes speakjs to me. The undeniable sadness in his heart speaks to me. The remarking words he says hears to me. Great talent brother. - discord mod
But, it's not hard, it comes from within So don't let anybody tell you to put drugs in the cling And don't let anybody tell you you can't run, dance, sing, or be a baller You can be a king Now you can work a nine-to-five if it makes you smile at night Money ain't a measure of success 'Cause you can have a billion and dead You can have 20 grand flat and live a long, long life with no stress So listen I don't know your picture, can you paint it for me?

You can't truly appreciate the level of deepness till you listen to every single word he says. The kids too unreal man, hope to see him get a Mobo next year 🏆🍾
Everyone who commented on his talent and potential 7 years ago must be happy to see how much of a global name and legend he became
trust its crazy, was listening to six paths when i was 13 feels amazing seeing how far he's come
Bro he was already poppin 7 years ago, friends called me band wagoner back then lol
amazing talent, its sad that he became mainstream and like many others, but deffo deserved his status
Hope people really get behind this guy.
Undeniable talent.
hughwizzy lol what u doin here bigman
my young hugh wizzy cuuuuz.
hughwizzy greatness mate 10/10
wizzy is that you yeah?
this aged well
I ain't ever seen a man in Stone Island go near a piano lol, this guy is so talented though
Casanova Frankenstein not really, how many people wearing s/I have you seen playing piano?
the piano aint that hard to play man not taking nothing away from dave this Is dope but still...
upload video of you on the piano playing this (Admittedly basic) piece.
Now do it while rappin
Now play some actual piano pieces and we'll see how "the piano ain't that hard to play"
🥶💥💯
Kiz yes it is and it takes a lot of co ordination and time to rap as well as playing it then factor in that he creates his own pieces. Crazy and talented.
I love how every comment 5 years ago was about how talented dave was and the huge potential he had, aged so well…
Most of these comments aged like fine wine
what bout now
what about even more now lol
Sky's the limit for this talented brother
Chuck Liddell, that's bullshit, the sky isn't the limit, dave can go all the way to the moon
2 years later look at him
@@liamgilbertson4419 2022 now, look at him

WHO IS HERE IN 2024
Me
The only and amazing spider-man
Still
Yessir

Amazing how he flows and plays piano at same time
💯💯
Just found this now, I wish I found it sooner!
It's one thing to sing and play the piano but to rap on that tempo and play ... That is fucking hard ... Like Demn... He did well bro ..
He made it
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
better than the actual song tbh
This is why I rate Dave more than any other rapper in the U.K scene right now!! He's giving out a positive message in his music! Also being able to rap/sing whilst playing the piano is one of the hardest things for a musician to do which further proves how talented this guy really is🙏🏻🙏🏻
💯
Forsure man
2:27 is the best part
He can also play the piano now thats talent 👏
Shoaib Mahmood he played piano time ago as well, like a year
taught myself to play piano, put that music in my hand
Omni King and doing both is another talent. RT that shit hard!!!
No, you’re actually hallucinating right now he’s hired a body double
Still blows my mind 4 years later, beautiful performance
Reminder to watch it again another 2 years down the line
@@archiekilpin807thanks for the reminder bro song is still one of my favourites to this day
What he said about 25 year old listening to some 16 year old rapping and there be like fuxk that. But I'm 24 heard every single thing he's released and it's more real than any of these other guys. He spits so much truth it actually hurts, humble, intelligent, talented.
Hanibalistic27 he’s just been through everything really, like he says he was working in finance while banging in the hood he’s both hood and book smart that’s where the multiple personality type thing comes from
@@haandawg man I feel I’m going mad again
i've listened that 7 years later but i bet thats still hits like you listen on first day
WHOEVER MADE THIS EARRAPY SOUND AT THE BEGINNING AND THE END SO LOUD IN COMPARISON TO THE VIDEO SHOULD RECONSIDER LIFE
Raaaaa man can play the piano while rapping -- I rate him even more now👌🏽👏
After so many years I still can't understand how you can be this good at that age..
He wrote this when he was 15
So refreshing to see what Dave is doing. Speaking that truth. Such an old head on young shoulders.
It's amazing to watch the comments from 5 years ago and say he's talented.. Big love Dave
exactly what you need, when you are lost, and left without hope
4 Years Later , he actually made it.
7 years already😢
Definitely buying the ep
you should best 4 pounds I've spent
yep worth every penny
It's crazy, I was expecting a lot after hearing picture me but the whole EP steps up. Dave is a different breed
Long Live Dave
It’s amazing to see how far Santan has come from this truly beautiful he is the drake,Kendrick and J cole of the UK and he has the rawest talent
Picture me, 23, a bag of sold out shows
I made it out of music, I took all my bros
And this merchandise is poppin, I sell all my clothes
And all these hoes are ghost, I got one real girl
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
Eating pasta on my lunch break
While I'm scribbling my rhymes
And picture me, 17, in an all black suit
Laying still in a coffin, surrounded by my crew
Giving half-heart apologies
For watching while they bottled me
Or running when they shot at me
You're next up if you prodigy, wait
I meant poke a G
Picture me, a road banger, I hope that you don't notice me
No face for the road, my G
Kill him in seven ways, lemon haze how I smoke a G
Name can get you out the beef, pissed if you owe me Ps
Them boys try and piss take, boy, what a mistake
I'll come back with a shotty
And blow your lungs out your ribcage
Picture me a snitch, nah I couldn't picture that
Picture me a snitch, nah I couldn't ever think of that
Picture me with a baby mum
That didn't wanna see me blow
So she let my talent go to waste like Robinho
I've been involved, I've seen the roads
Where the good die young, and the bad get life
And the ugly is the ugly, but
Picture me, a legend, worldwide or in Streatham
Known for words in a sentence
I put verbs in a sentence
There's action in my letters
And I never compromise
Nor follow what the trend is, I create my own style
Cos I got my own agendas, I got music all that matters
But what about the yutes that ain't athletes or rappers?
What about the yutes that ain't athletes or rappers
Picture you, I don't know your picture can you paint it for me?
And can you take out all the man thats gonna taint it for me?
And can you take out all the girls that's gonna waste it for me?
Or illustrate how you're gonna get to all these places for me?
And if you can't, then don't worry g you got time
But you just need to paint a picture, or just sketch a draft
Cos, how you know you're going down the wrong road
If you're in a dark place, and you don't select a path
But picture you talking loads about goals and riches
With a phone, full of cro shots, hoes and bitches
And a head filled with fast dreams
I talk to God like it's RE
About my picture cause I can't see
I'm at war with my mind
So I'm still with a sket getting Ed like Hardy
And I don't mind
Cause them man there all speakers like Parties
I'm conflicted on this mission
So I'm still in the mist with a black star on my waist like Kwame
Guys are on my case
It's like i wasn't dialling banks for some pay
While you was busy flicking shanks for a name
Or busy robbin' drugs, with a dipper
Or you could call me Scofield
Why? cause I got prison in my skin
But I won't ever have a prison in my picture
Listen to my scripture, like teachers with teardrops
Principles a killer, all for the skrilla
But, it's not hard
It comes from within
So don't let anybody tell you to put drugs in the cling
And don't let anybody tell you you can't run, dance, sing, or be a baller
You can be a king
Now you can work a 9 to 5 if it makes you smile at night
Money ain't a measure of success
'Cause you can have a billion and dead
You can have 20 grand flat and live a long, long life with no stress
So listen
I don't know your picture, can you paint it for me?
And can you tell me where you batch of friends is taking you
And can you tell me what your aspirations are, your dreams
Forget the money brother, tell me what makes you you
Can you tell me why you wake up, what makes you tick
What makes you smile, what makes you laugh
What makes you sick
Can you tell me why you're on this earth
Can you tell me why you're living
Is it in and out of prison
Are you tryna touch a nation?
Or are you tryna touch a paigon?
You get your picture, get to painting
Are you playing in a stadium?
Or are you sitting in a station?
You get your picture, get to painting
Are you the guy inside the hospital
That's praying that he makes it
Or working with the surgeons and the nurses tryna save him
Are you buried in a grave?
For some pennies and a chain
A memory that fades
A picture you didn't paint
I bet them boys think I'm panicking
Pep Guardiola, G, I'm managing
Stop saying that you beef me, it's embarrassing
I never had these paigons, till my face was on this rapping ting
Now every other yute is on chatty ting
See me in a rave, it's black blades, lightsabers call me Anakin
Music, money, paigons, education, fam I handle it
I try so hard in my tracks to give a message
But it's messed cah I'll still get you shredded by some savages
I swear you don't know pressure
Ask Jack, I had labels playing deal or no deal like I'm Noel Edmonds
Independent, no pressure
My whole team Nike'd out to the socks you should know better
A-levels, no pressure
And my ex just text me, she should know better
I can still paint a picture, put a pen into my hand
It's time to paint your picture my brother
Now you can go get it
Dave fr touches my heart just in acapella, the voice and the talent of this man is surreal, i never saw a guy so good with piano like him
This guy is an inspiration, need more young MC's this talented
Dave is one of my favourite artists right now, very talented
how this guy isn't on any sort of nominations for the mobo is a mystery I personally think he's to real for them
Hes Project is coming out too late...Wait for next year
True true
Darren Owie mobos dont even mean shit
Great reading this comment after he won best album
@@liamhumphreys9011 Pysco Drama was a banger!!!!
i'm proud of this brudda. speaks so much truth for yungen. inspiration fr
Still one of his best songs in my personal opinion like Thers one part of this tha jus gets me each time “don’t let anybody tell you put drugs in a cling don’t let anybody tell you can’t run dancing or be a baller you can be a king now you can work a nine to five if tha makes you smile at night money ain’t a measure of success cuz you can have a billion and dead and you can have 20 grand live a long long life with no stress” each time I hear it it’s even better then I first did 7 years ago 🙌🏻
This guy is pure gold. Prob my fav new rapper/mc/artist/inspiration. I hope dave makes it to the stars and back.
how bout now
the talent this kid has is insane, playin the keys and spittin fire. its a talent some never will accomplish and this kids younger than i am spitting like he's been an OG
No words can express how i feel about this tune
‘No words’ predicted his recent song ahh
One of the Realist rappers in the UK
Rising Talents you misspelt world bro

they calling me Mr piano man now💥
how can a comment make me laugh so much 😅
No mister but i respect the reference
@@TadhgKennelly at least someone got the reference
@@MA_7.yo are you still alive?
@@difevfx3275 nah yanoe bro
Dead inside tryna get through life everyday
He left out the "come back with a shotty and blow your lungs out your ribcage" bar
I knw best bit
They probably told him not to say it cus it's too explicit for BBC Radio or some next shit
Might of just forgot it it’s hard to remember every lyric to every song especially when there’s nothing behind it except an instrumental your playing
he didnt leave it out. it got cut out by the bbc. you can tell with the scene cut and melody change
You can see the passion he has when playing the piano and singing
"Don't let anyone tell you cant run, dance, sing, or be a baller, you can be a king, now you can work from 9 to 5 if it makes you smile at night, money aint a messure of success."
He can play piano as well?!?! Dave is very talented , waiting for him to blow.
This aged so well
you're an OG 💪
2:28 this part just hits diffrent man, dave is def the most talented rapper out there 👑
"I did over a hundred takes to make sure I played it well"

so true
Lyrical masterpiece
This is like patting your head a rubbing your belly at the same time....impressive!
this deserves way more views, real artist
My bro made quite a few piano mistakes and still carried on like it never happened. I rate that so much, that's a whole different level of skill
David Isoka-Onwordi nobody plays the piano without making a single mistake, even the greats messed up
BROS DOING RAP HAND GESTURES AND PLAYIN PIANO AT THE SAME TIME WHAT A BEAST
This guy is a Genius,a talented singer,a poet.
Song still gets to me 5 years later
4 real this guy is one talented yout.
No drugs no women no swearing
It’s crazy how far Dave has come
But, it's not hard, it comes from within
So don't let anybody tell you to put drugs in the cling
And don't let anybody tell you you can't run, dance, sing, or be a baller
You can be a king
Now you can work a nine-to-five if it makes you smile at night
Money ain't a measure of success
'Cause you can have a billion and dead
You can have 20 grand flat and live a long, long life with no stress
So listen
I don't know your picture, can you paint it for me?
And can you tell me where you batch of friends is taking you?
And can you tell me what your aspirations are, your dreams
Forget the money brother, tell me what makes you you?
Can you tell me why you wake up, what makes you tick?
What makes you smile, what makes you laugh, what makes you sick?
