    His oldest brother got sentenced to life when he was 11. Which brought dave into depression throughout secondary school. Then his oldest brother got sentenced to jail as well. His mum couldn't support them and he nearly became homeless because of that. They were angry at his brother and when he came out, he nearly killed himself. His mum nearly killed herself. His dad is gone. He witnessed his friends getting killed. This guy has been through a lot. You learn all this when you listen to his music. He just expresses his feelings really well. Soon to be one of the greatest musicians in the world. Already in the UK, but soon, in the world!

    I could write an essay on this song.
    He answers the opening questions, in the last line of the song.
    The music changes up to reflect his different moods, hence Psycho.
    The wordplay is incredible throughout too many to list here.
    The line, 'Brother I'm a careful, humble, reckless, arrogant, extravagant
    Nigga probably battlin' with manic depression' is so powerful for me he is talking about how black males can be more than just one thing, and complex and contradictory, contrary to a lot of media reports, and the fact he takes on mental health.
    So good he deserves all the acclaim that comes his way.

    The way he adjusted the tone of the music to the lyrics in the song just gave me goosebumps. For example only playing the piano when he’s talking about his depression and then adding the sax when it gets a bit hopeful then the drums and the back up singers when he gets inspirational... just a masterpiece

    I'm here with David
    This is our first session
    We're just gonna talk about your background
    Where you're from, any issues you've been dealing with
    So, where should we start?
    Look
    Stop all the pain
    How do you stop all the pain, huh?
    I used to hear a voice when I was praying
    But nowadays, I don't even wanna be saved
    Nah, fuck that, I don't wanna be saved
    I was born to be wild, I don't wanna be tamed
    Talent's in my blood and I don't wanna be vain
    But if I'm a psycho, then I don't wanna be sane
    I used to dream of this shit when I was hopping on train
    So, so bad, I used to want all the fame
    My ex-girl want to shoot a cover for Vogue
    Which is pretty ironic 'cause she's top of the range
    If any one of you take a shot on a track
    My niggas come back and put a shot in your frame
    Easy as the alphabet
    Three G's in the ring, call me Alvarez
    My teacher used to say I need counseling
    Couldn't stop asking me, "What do you feel?"
    There's so many old scars that they wanna reveal
    We got off on the wrong foot 'cause I don't want him to heal, nah
    But if you're looking for a psycho, you got one
    I thought I had a screw loose but I lost one
    Ninety-nine problems, money, it is not one
    My currency's Kenyan, that's in it for the long run, huh
    Tears on a pillow
    Bro, I shed so many tears on a pillow
    I used to tell my teachers that nobody gets it
    I don't know Clarke but I know that I'm a Kidult
    'Cause my mummy ain't been home, miss thinks I'm involved
    Blame my environment, it made me a sicko
    Furthermore, I should bring that bitch down to Streatham
    And then make her spend a day in a veil like a widow
    Kiddo, we seen swords longer than a limo
    My bros are blacksmiths like Jaden and Willow
    Man, there's weapons over here, we're reppin' over here
    We're from the Southside but it's Streatham over here
    No telling if you're selling, hold the wettin' over here
    Get him over here, who the fuck is checkin' over here?
    Most my niggas are the ones applying pressure over here
    Fuck assault, I can get a nigga peppered over here, whoa
    We wanted more, then some food on the strip or moving a brick
    My niggas went to school with the rich and we were broke
    Hiding crow in a Rubicon drink
    Which is funny 'cause that's how we put food in the fridge
    So, who am I?
    Someone tryna live his best life
    I just wanna take a pretty woman for a test drive
    If I bring her to my room and I press, I
    Guarantee she gonna see the force like an ex-wife
    People tell me I'm a little bit barmy
    For my army, I need a bottle of Bacardi
    If it's me and a pouch with my dargy
    Shawty, you're seeing two stars in the party
    Fuck what you heard
    I'm a pop boy and I ain't giving man a turn
    I don't wanna know a pretty woman wanna flirt
    Learned you can judge a nigga by the women that he curves
    I love this game, I ain't lost focus
    I'm a hitmaker, if you ever noticed
    I could be the rapper with the message like you're hoping
    But what's the point in me being the best if no one knows it?
    Brother I'm a careful, humble, reckless, arrogant, extravagant
    Nigga probably battlin' with manic depression
    Man, I think I'm going mad again
    It's like I'm happy for a second then I'm sad again
    And to my fans, the reason I could get to this
    You're my drug, the instrumental my therapist
    Man, I need some therapy
    My girl saying that she'll never leave
    I'm scared she gonna find a better me
    Deeper insecurities, like
    What if I don't leave a legacy?
    Money, why they check for me?
    Mummy lost respect for me
    I wish that we could be together but that ain't how life works
    I used to cry about my dad until my fucking eyes burnt
    Nose running, you don't know nothing
    Before I put a penny on the table, I provided for my family
    Held my mother's hand through the agony, hey
    You ever fall 'sleep 'case you don't wanna be awake?
    In a way, you're tired of the reality you face?
    If you're thinking 'bout doing it
    Suicide doesn't stop the pain, you're only moving it
    Lives that you're ruining
    Thoughts of a world without you in it, hiding
    I ain't psycho but my life is

    This genuinely one of the best live performances' I've ever seen.. the song on the album was great..
    it was already one of my fav songs on my fav album (production&genius wise).. but watching this.. with the saxophone = A whole other level.
    How can you watch this and not think: He is the next 'modern times' poet?
    If you disagree.. I dont mind.. You clearly dont get that this lad is special..he has been since he was 16..
    Even in 50 years time.. when I may be 80+ years old.. I'll always be so proud that Santan Dave who was from: 'Streatham over here' :) won the TOP awards in 2019..
    2019 & 2020 were his years... give me another artist that delivered what he did????????????

    Hands down one of the best rappers right now. Dave us not just a one hit maker, he keeps coming out with bangers one after another. Personally I think he's the next cadet. Not saying the legend cadet isn't the goat but in the sense as he can do emotional storytelling songs and then also do songs like the one with stormzy. Just like cadet(rip🙏) hes very versatile.

    This is AMAZING, the wordplay, storytelling... he nailed it, reminds me of Guru or Tupac. On another note, dear mixing engineer, WHAT'S UP? With all the mix splits going on did you lose his vocal microphone? the backup sounds fine but his voice is just all the way down like it is complimenting the sax instead of the other way around!

    This is what a real rap performance is like. I'm not just saying that because it's lyrical rap but because he's actually performing... not saying every 3rd word or 2nd line over a backtrack of the studio record. He's performing the whole song on the spot flawlessly. Real performances are taken for granted these days...
