Lyrics:
Made this happen I was the cause
Hand me the baton, hand me the torch
Running the game like it’s a sport
But all I got in this world is my word and my balls
Said Scarface, Goodfellas learn the hard way
Never had a godfather or my padre, so I went and got some Margiela’s for my madre
Coz it been graveyard shifts, since I put dad is his grave
Made it outta the maze I’m in amazement
No haram, I go ham when I pray
Coz there no real helping hand, when handling pain
if god made man in his image, imma create, imma be great
Mi casa Su cassa , Cassius Clay
Rumble in the jungle, I’m from the land of brave,
Souls in the sea, I rolled in the deep, now we’re the wave
Yo, Dave man I still remember conversations
About awards and their invalid validations
I got the world in my hands, that’s world domination
Man are not pop, were just popping to the population
And I’ve got dream and ambitions, People that listen
Love the fans cause all I had was fiends and kitchen
I’m in Dior guess I’m preaching in Christian
My pockets deep but my jeans full of riches
Descents of a king, I gotta people who depend on me; dependants of a king
My teacher mentioned credit never said it was a thing
Why you think the morgate lender isn’t lending her a thing
From a real estate, to real estate
Made sure I ate with my niggas before the dinner dates
I had soo much on my plate
Now im eating like a king had to work like a slave
Imagine If we never imagined this, imagine if our imaginations couldn’t fathom it
Imagine if the butterfly effect was a caterpillar, in the garden of eden by the tree where the apple is
I’m way to talented to still be in the sticks where’s their javelins
I’m Olympic, on Mount Olympus its peak
At the top its only us, I’m with my G’s
But I ain’t gotta be high, there’s higher powers in me
It’s AV
I feel asleep and spoke to MJ
And he told me to heal the world, make it a better place
Nuff red jackets in my endz, it’s the end days
Why you think I’m rolling with trend setters, that set pace
Grew up in a race with the racist
A place where they wanna replace us
I’m patient but then I’m impatient
God grace has been ever been so gracious
Something to savour I’m the saviour
Cause I’m in the matrix , An alien cause I’m in a spaceship
I saw my niggas on slave ships
I remember telling whitney your my queen
I was selling bobby, new edition on my street
Feds were taking pictures, taking pictures of my team
But I saw the bigger picture, the depiction of my dream
It was nightmares when we lost Moe and Leng
Had a niggas feeling outta place at his home address,
I’m the 1st nigga with insomnia who over slept
I paid 70k in taxes, it don’t match what I owe to them man its crazy
Dave:
Happy Halloween
Me and the team branched out from selling leaves
If my life was a film
The title of it’s release would have to be just shweve , Its one incredible scene
I aint had a break since the pedal bike in my teens
So I wouldn’t lose sleep if you couldn’t sell me a dream
I’m tired of these guys it’s all lies that there feeding
The seed of deceit grew the tree in the treason
No reason for the way that your living, make a decision
I hate mediocrity, last dream I had I saw Socrates
He told me he believes in my philosophy, I just do number I aint waiting on the lottery
Best on the scene the only thing that follows when your mentioning me
Man Invest in a girl. Interested
But she aint invested if she doesn’t say invest in your dreams
You invest for your queen, I invest for the queen
There’s a big fucking difference, When I was 18 I was 6 figure nigga
Trigga happy, imma killa for dinners
We ate livers and cornbeef
I worked in silence, my touch Midas
Colourism real but don’t let them divide us
Were all blacks tryna run our own race, in our way, feeling pressure from our race
I know a dark skin girl getting low pay, picking between discrimination and low wage
I know lighty with white fam and black friends, Feeling outta place both sides showing hate
Struggle to understand, when your struggling to relate
In a black woman eyes see pride, see pain, see joy ,
See days of hardship,
you wanna be black, but you don’t know what dark is ,
you want our blood but you don’t know what heart is
How could he draw me if he don’t know what art, I’m Picasso.
Diss me and man know man, Its kidnap
Nuttin but red paint when the van goes
I don’t make pop art also and these kicks that I wore hold up
I had a tuff upbringing and hard days I saw those
Weight on my...

Thank you so much for the love everyone, it’s all appreciated
thank you for blessing the world and our lifes with your bars and genius, timeless track
Avelino you the truth bro!!! Much love!!!
you deserve it G..thanking YOU.
Massively underrated song here, it's almost like lyricism is not what the masses want because it isn't easy listening
Your a jedi in your craft 💯👌
Avelino is the most underrated artist in the UK‼️‼️
Ez Productionz it’s not that he is underrated he is like chip it’s just hard to play your part in a different game
He is really talented but listen to dave seriously listen he's in every working /bottom class person out there
@@K4MZCWG man said avelino like chip wtf avelino is in the conversation of uk goats chip is levels below and always will be
sharps nightbot I meant situations not ability
In the world*
This the UK equivalent of a Kendrick Lamar x J Cole collab
Its better actually and im American
Pat Jenkins agreed
Fam we already had that avalino and wretch 32 fire in the booth best ever still fact
@@kelvinstacey5909 facts
@@patjenkins1308 not better than kendrick, better than cole tho
Motivation is what gets you started ! Habit is what keeps you going 🙏🏾
Very intelligent avelino my bro hard to be a great lyricist only I never thought anyone could be as good as wretch but u are with the stuff u write 💪💪
Thank you
💙
This has to be a re-upload. There’s no way a song this sick with such good rappers has this low views. I refuse to believe the UK music scene is this done out here surely.
it's ridiculous, avelino is 100% underrated, as for this song, arguably my favourite avelino verse, top 5 dave verses for sure.
He's only got 4.45k subscribers that's probably why
Roadman Onjob it wasn’t promoted as much as usual
Ikr. I am aghast that it's only just got my feed. 🙄
@@Ramzy0121 Guess maybe he should have got it promoted by GRM or one of them. 🤷
Legend has it that Avelino is still shaking his head to Wretch 32s fire in the booth
Big fish Ke still blinking
good one:))
Who isn't 😂😂
Avelino never blew like he should of, such an underrated artist. Only the real appreciate his work snm
No haram. I go ham when I pray, cos there's no real helping hand, when dealing with pain. If God made man in his image I'ma create. I'ma be great mi casa sucasa Cassius Clay! 😲🤯🤯🤯🔥
Imagine if we never imagined this? Imagine if our imaginations couldn't fathom it? Imagine if the butterfly effect was a caterpillar in the garden of Eden by the tree where the apple is! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This went over too many heads
@@samfawlia one day you will
@@samfawlia lol
Urban Fox explain please?
Urban Fox Avelino is a true lyricist unlike Dave.
I love the street wear camera and vibe they have to this video but it would have been cool to see Avelino and Dave actually in the video
Agreed!
They have a 50:50 split of bars
Avelino 0:00 - 2:24
Dave 2:24 - 4:48
It should be avelino x dave
Dave ft avelino
KhalifWriter. Fuck off respect Avelino
That's Creatively Insane
I love this song but Dave didnt spit until 4:48, he had about 24 seconds less than Avelino
Hear Dave say “when I was 18” like that was a long time ago... mocking it 😂😂
Hes come a long fucking way lol. Like longer thann 99% of us
Wait till you turn 20 and realize how fast the last years have been going. I'm 23 now. Highschool stills feels like yesterday and it's 5 years ago.
MrPatriickzz fr literally 😳
@@MrPatriickzz bit mad innit, we'll be 40 before you know it.
"I had a dream I saw Socrates, he said he believes in my philosophy". JHeeez Dave with them ancient greek philosopher bars...
Its also a play on words now that you mentioned it
Of "Welcome to Miami" by Will Smith who had a line saying
"Met Ali...told me I'M THE GREATEST!"....Crowd pleaser...etc etc.
So its comes full Circle to Cassius Clay! this songs title!..Wordsmith!!!
@@zodsinclair8500 you're reaching. Plus the philoshies Socrates bar wasn't that deep. Heard them two rhyme a million times before
@@connorholness7109 What??

@@callummellis3280 init rah
3:56 I can't believe this seems to have gone over everyone's head
How could he draw me out if he don't know what art is, I'm Picasso
Diss me and man know, it's a kidnap
Nothing but red paint when the van goes [Van Gogh]
I don't make pop art also and these [Andy] kicks that I wore hold [Worhol] up
I had a tough upbringing and hard days, I saw those
Weight on my chest only right I got a tour so [torso]
Dave is an artist referencing other artists
Straight flames
Serious talented brother serious serious lyrics. modern day da vinci riding the beats representing the many people that are living the street
@ugotparred who you talking to mate
@ugotparred show me different
how do you know it went over peoples head or are you just saying that to have an excuse to show off that you know what the meaning behind it is?
“Weight on my chest, only right I have a tore soul (torso)”
I also heard that as tour, so be happy for me
Like a tour? Playing live in different cities
Exactly g
This is good music, numbers mean nothing when you capture people's souls, power to Av and Dave 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💎💎💎💎 👑 👑👑👑👑👑
I am from Chicago and I swear I have been listening to UK hip hop a few years now. Way better thans ours right now. Yall remind me of when our music was genuine. Now people just about money. Thank you for keeping hip hop alive. They killing it over here.
That butterfly effect line is absolutely mad
Avelino needs to be credited more, this is a true lyricist
It's so mad that lyrical rappers/tracks don't get the views they should. Even with Dave, this should easily be on 100k. Smh 🤦🏾♂️
Yet man will watch Fredo, who is straight trashhhhhhhhh lyrically.
The amount of views this has is a bit mad
fax man would rather listen to aitch waffle
Still hasnt moved much in 3 days smh...
@@robertusbroadlygoat5976 Aitch is hard but obviously not on Av's level lyrically. It's not Aitch's fault that the market demand for masterful lyricism is at an all time low. Aitch is just doing his thing and he's good at it, don't hate.
@@jriver3145 no hate . i find it waffling lmao just an opinion . guy is good at what he does jut what he does isnt good (again - an opinion)
Robertus Broadlygoat
I’m the same as you with a lot of Aitch’s tracks but he has made a couple I’ve liked, such as I’m Gone which you mightn’t have heard, different to his usual forced flow
I think people can’t comprehend these bars. UK is full of hype lovers and drill bashers. But this is what I call bars. Way too smart for a normal human to even process these bars
Happy to see uk rappers blow tf up and break that old notion that america needs to fw u for u to win and get to the bag frfr
Been my top tune on my Spotify end of year lists for the past 4 years (and counting) 🔥 🔥
Jason Julian that's my guy 👊🏾
I reckon this is one of the best UK hiphop tunes ever.
Avelinos wordplay is unmatched 🙌, hopefully he gets he's roses man....
Big man, call him Muhammad Ali like he would have wanted. Respect to the legend, rest in Jannah Big Muhammad🙏🏼
Prince Amin exactly what I was about to say....
The way I think about it is that he talks about the journey from the bottom to the top. He talks about Caterpillar and butterflies(Cateepillar turns into Butterflies) so maybe its referring himself to Cassius Clay and he gonna become Muhammad Ali. Avelino is 200 IQ and the dept of his lyrics is ot easy to figure out sometimes. Dont think he would call Muhammad Ali for Cassius Clay.
@@EwertAqua That's exactly what I got from the song. The the journey, the struggle, the fight to the top i.e Cassius Clay
Muslims aren't allowed to listen to non Islamic music anyway
My friend, he is saying as a rapper he is a young Muhammad, he's saying that he is in the Cassius Clay phase of his life...Soon to mature into the Ali of rap...Only respect and admiration is given, trust
I still get goosebumps listening to this. Penmanship is on a different level.... Keep sharing to everyone you know. The world need to listen to this. They are missing out.
3:56-4:05 :
Dave mentions three painters
1. Picasso, "how could he draw me out if he don't know what art is, I'm Picasso"
2. Van Gogh, "nothing but red paint when the van goes"
3. Andy Warhol (painter of pop art), " I don't make pop art also and these kicks that I wore hold up"
Wretch 32 passing that baton !!! Last track ft Avelino on his new album !!! Big tune !!!
"You wanna be black but you don't know what dark is" that line hit me different 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How this masterpiece is still under a million views today is completely mind boggling… I can’t understand it!
So 700k views on this video sums up the era we are in greatly, when it comes to talking everybody wants the real hiphop and bars to return to the scene but when soneone talented like avelino and dave actually delivers there is no reward to their hussle all the same time a mumble rapper gets like 60m views easy so dont nobody cry about the quality of music anymore you get what you deserve
For those who don't know this was filmed in Tottenham near Seven Sisters & the Tiverton estate
Thanks Google maps
1:54 to 2:03 flow is mental
Man when will people finally put respect on Avelino's name. He's imo comfortably a top 5 lyricist worldwide, along with J cole Kendrick and Wretch
people refuse this. facts. wretch is the greatest lyrist i ever heard. but because hes from this era...well.. people still try convince me 2pac n biggie are the greatesr RAPPERS ever, when clearly, as rappers, werent, and were surpassed by others.
@@whatscookinginthekitchen8520 they were good in their era. And their music will forever live on. But wretch should be mentioned in these conversations more often for sure
Why the f*** have I only heard this incredible untouchable bar levelling song for the first time today? Seriously why?
The people who disliked this dont even know the definition of good music
Thank you Av for that quality of muisc it really touch my heart bro 🙏🏾🙏🏾
🇦🇴 🇨🇩 ❤❤
Two of the most talented guys on the scene. Lyrical heavyweights sharing the ring. Would love to see more from them together.
It makes me so grateful to be the generation that that gets to listen to dave in all his glory as he rises to the top and stays there, hands down the best rapper of are generation and no one could beat him at what he's best at, his lyrics have meaning and give satisfaction to all of us listening and I just want to express how lucky I am to be a fan of this great artist, he is for sure one of the greatest of all time.
Carnt believe this didn’t reach a mill…. Crazy tune
AV’s releases have been so timely this year! 2020 is about to be a mazza #YearOfTheLyricist
Once again raised the bar, ur lyrical ability has just got better through the years, in a 40yr old dude that listened to hip hop since '93 the early days of Nas, Big L, Biggie, Big pun, etc...seems everyone was 'big' something back then and now seems everyone in the states is 'lil/little' something but if judged on lyrical talent the old timers are by far the best lyrically and creatively so I lost interest in hip hop for years in mumble rap crap era but after hearing ur tunes u turned me back on to hip hop and was an amazing sight seeing all these UK artists now killing it lyrically world wide. Thanx to u and, wretch of course, for making me a believer again and helping discover a whole new rap game. Banging tune and luv ur delivery and the video was excellent as well...great job all round...so looking forward to ur album dropping!! Take care and peace bro 👊💯
🔥🔥🔥 *Feds were taking pictures, taking pictures of my team. But i saw the bigger picture , the depiction of my dream* 🔥🔥🔥
Avelino with the best verse of 2019 imo
Brilliant track, you both bodied it. Not much more to say other than, thanks for another banger 💯🥇🎶👏👏
Dave's verse in this is CRAZY!!! He is on a next level! Dope TUNE!
This deserves so many more views.
The talent in the UK right now should be making the whole country proud
King🙏🏼 literally just discovered you, been looking for music like this🍃 thank you for blessing us with your visions 💞
I love this track!!!! its soooo hip hop and Im from USA! keep them coming please.
3:57 hardest scheme, with the Picasso, Van Gogh and Andy Warhol bars🔥🔥 Dave is just too good
WHATTTTT!! Man said "I ain't had a break since the bike in my teens" !! #rulestosuccess
I'm a old head but this song up there as a favourite and I havnt had a favourite for years!
2 years later and not even a milly, kinda like it this way, avelino never blew and only his proper fans are in the know.
Never thought i would see this collab Avelino is too underrated
They've collabed before
They have a banger together already
This is honestly an incredible video and the soundtrack is just fantastic. One of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time.
Love dude 🙏
Av -you are the best MC in that rap game the way you write punch line, poetry, bars, wordplay in Uk and possible in rap game.... 👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥👍🏾👌🏾I feel it ✌🏾✌🏾
Was the PR/ Marketing department fired by the record company? Or is the the algorithm on UA-cam broken? Why is this so underrated?
it’s ridiculous
nothing but red paint when the van goes (van gogh)
Blood... Quality play on words
This track is a masterpiece like 4/5 tracks in one. Seriously people only sleeping on this tune coz they in shock 😱😨😰🥵🥶
This song is the bollocks👊🏾✊🏾👏🏾👍🏾. The beat is:🔥
Thank god people are keeping this kind of music alive!
Big tune avalino and Dave two of the best in the uk great message I your lyrics 💯💯🔥🔥

Why on earth does it have this low views?
God Loves A Hustler trust me fam I’m baffled
God Loves A Hustler PREE how many subscribers man got THATS why
Avelino rarely gets big views. Its tragic.
God Loves A Hustler it’s trash

Still on repeat...
3:55-4:13 PURE GENIUS ART WORD PLAY. That Andy Warhol bar... In the history books!!! JHEEZE
Exactly. Every time he flipped an artists name my face physically contorted. Who else is out here in grime doing that?
Av will never let you down doing up tunes, Dave obviously the icing on that cake 👏👏
U can stand up and Cassius clay! Well done young Kings... 👏💯
