"Picture me, 23, a bag of sold out shows"
This hits different now that Dave's 23 and made it out with all his bros.
too lit
This is the comment I was looking for because YESSSS👌🏾
Man pictured himself at 23 to a T 💯
fr
Coming back after attending his sold out show at the 02 arena in his sold out tour 🙌🏾
'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?
Aleksandra . Hope he replies
@@jeffolay8680 im actually curious tho, how is his life?
Aleksandra im curious too hope he’s doing good
6am - 2pm for me
Dave is genuinely a genius. Unreal
Clever inventive, highly incentive an if you read behind the lines you can tell that he meant it.
Thanks I know
@@kingdavid6206 lol
🔥
Mad to think when this dropped everyone was saying this kids got talent he’s gonna be a big name and now he’s the biggest and best rapper in the uk
Not the biggest stormzy is more popular
100 subs with no Videos not for long
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
And everything he said In the first line is happening now. Like how he’s got sold out shows and merch
@@alymegahed7158 dave one of the best ever
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.

Dave - dun went in sooo hard on this right here, straight up! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took they career off 2 da big leagues like fr fr no cappp
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.
Picture me with a baby mum that didn't wanna see me blow, so she let my talent go to waste like Robinho
That bar is so mad...
Truss
he knows his football fr!
Yesss
I forgot about Robinho man that's mad
Waiting for Robinho to send now ... 😂

Shut up you gassed pleb

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.
Everyone's bigging up Wanna Know because of Drake, but this song will always be Dave's best I swear
hes actually better than drake and in a few years when hes in his 20s he will be big and better
Muhibur Rahman worried he'll go mainstream tho
what do you mean by mainstream bro?
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
he will i remember seeing him in endz and asked him few questions but i saw him time ago

U were right
You called it
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!
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!

"Picture me a Legend"
Don't have to picture that Dave; you're a f**king LEGEND!!!
I’ve honestly never been hit this hard by a songs lyrics 🤯
"You can call me Scofield cuz i have a prison in my skin" Anyone else here recognize that?
Prison Break
If you don't recognize them bars there is no point of you listening to Dave
Shit bar, been used about a thousand fucking times.

"Picture me 23 i didnt chase my dream my mum wanted me to do finance so i came off beats and now I’m sitting at a desk with a two two in financee eating pasta on my lunch break while im scribbling my rhymes picture me".
+Mr Tumble i believe daves doing both tho. Idk, going uni and pursuing music
+UGDon95 Same made me determined not waste my youth, that vision is scary not doing what you love
biggest bar
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
“Picture me 17 in a all black suit laying still in a coffin surrounded by my crew” that hit hard
sure did
"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
Real nigga
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
this song makes me feel better after results day, school telling me what I can and can't do. kmt
Real talk
truss that ak chatting bare shit
“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
I still don’t catch that
This guy has so many mad bars it’s hard to clock all of them🤣 I clock new bars everytime I re listen to daves songs
@@adamabdulkadir1085 verbs are doing words so they are actions
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
Dave's mum wanted him to get a job in finance,
Is that why he's called SANTANdave
Loool Na the main reason is coz he banged squares (Santander)
+ImMerkzHD banged squares? tht like an AC or suttin
is that AC?
😂😂😂😂
JN Mayhem yh suttin like that g
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.
referral madness Ikr its a shame really.
Vegeta I agree and he is the only rapper I know who does not swear as much which actually makes it a nice thing to listen too

Defo got the recognition he deserved
@@rahim4752 I'm kinda missing 6 paths Dave tho
@@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

If dave dont make a pt 2 of picture me for his 23rd birthday imma be disappointed
Todays the dayyy i need that shit dave
He did one better and blessed us with a second album at 23.
I just got this shown to me by my teacher fam this hits deep
ZX TwoF4c3 your teachers a legend then
English teacher or what
@@abidabdi3899 nah like mentor
My reaction after watching this was Wow. Dave is very talented hope the music gets him somewhere.
It did
It did
Rate this guy, heart of gold that doesn't glamourise the hood but glamourises moving away from it. Been there, done that and only 17. Madness
One of the best songs of all time
Fast forward to 2022, now he’s 23 selling out the O2 🔥
I just wanna see Dave angry on a madd beat💯🤔
Dave -Blackbox
his blackbox is the best and deepest i've seen of him
listen to Panic Attack, in my opinion the best track he's made, absolutely dissects the beat

Who’s here in 2020 ❤️🤷♂️
2021
"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
I dont care what any1 says this guy is the realest in the scene. Look at the depth of his lyrics! He's only 17... deserves way more attention.
When he turns 23 he gotta make another song and refer to the “picture me 23 with a bag of sold out shows” .. cuz he basically chose the best outcome
Dave making this at 18/19 years old is mad tbh, such a good, meaningful and strong song
21 people hating cause they know dave is just gonna get better and better than this...and already plenty of mc's can't match this standard of barring
Still getting 'ed from a sket like hardy 😂
juss clocked my G
Raa I just clocked, that is a hard bar😅💥

This guy is a legend unlike many these other rappers in the UK he talks about real shit.
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
The Ending when Dave looked at the boy after coming out the station made the story line even more mad, rahh
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.
Thank you so much
@@jullietomoregie8206 hey I'm just curious, why did you say thank you?
I feel like this song had so much more potential as a music video
Jme brought me here, glad he did
how did he bring you here
Me too. He tweeted it
Dave
Lmao, you seem like a hype man, man has a playlist with florence and the machine & Bugzy Malone
why would you hurt Burt?
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
7 years later no song with a deeper message ❤
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
“Picture me 23, a bag of sold out shows” made this really happen
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.
2020 my g's where you at
We can all agree that this song reaches that emotional part o our heart and speaks to us to the deepest level of it. THX DAVE
And Dave also casually playing the piano on this tune like its nothing....anways let me go reflect on life, this was too deep
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.
Such an inspirational song. And seeing all the people he inspires everyday is also inspiring, love him so much
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!
You don't understand how fast I clicked on this
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
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.
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👍🏾
This song will be relevant for the rest of my life.
Had to come back here and say when Dave hit 23 he sold out the O2... This literally projected it. Wonderful
Few songs are life-changing. That's one of them
he is so insperational and wise, and he knows how to send a strong message through his music

This is real music. I almost cry when I hear it. Beautiful song
Will always and forever be one of his best tracks
The way everyone can relate to at least one bar of his in every track
And he actually made it in 2023 who is watching this in 2024🍀♥️
I’d love to meet this dude, just to thank him for the music. I think he’s inspirational; he makes forward thinking, thought provoking music. I hope he continues to succeed, I’ll certainly be following him. Big up Dave!
Wish i had this dudes mind at his age. legend.
