Why didn't anyone tell me David raps?? My man went in; one day we're gonna see him on the TV screen, stay blessed David

It’s mad seeing all the comments from 3 year ago saying he’s gonna make it big and he did just that!! Raw talent

The passion makes it 100x better you can feel it

Lyrically crazy lunatic. You're going to be big.

It’s tradition to watch this every once in a while

Hands down best blackbox

First time ive heard the pain in an artists voice. This is raw

Always gotta come back and watch where he came from

2019 Who’s here

2024 anyone?

The passion gets stronger throughout the video

2024 stand up. Who’s here now?

2024 May anyone

I’ll never not revisit this… So visceral… So much pain and rage, eloquently expressed by a legendary artist in the making. Long Live Santan Dave.

not even 15k views yet??? this is haaaard

9 years later on this day and still on loop 🤯 SANTAN THE 🐐🐐🐐

this kids got talent

3:46 looking like he's about to cry you can see how much his shit means to him which is what separates him from most the trashy rappers these days absolutely sick 🔥🔥🔥

Who else is scared for Wale??? 3:13

I always have to listen to this every now and again

June 2024....i have to see where all these started.....and oh my golly....the angst, the anger, the energy, the passion....the talent...mannnnn!!

Only OGS know about this before now

Crazy how far he’s came and this is still his hardest tune

Half dark, half light, get it for a calm price, hanging out the window like heath ledger in the dark knight gets me every time. 🔥 🔥

The pain coming out his throat is unreal. Big up Dave 2016 your joints

I miss this Dave... one of hardest black boxes still in 2024 🔥

"movin like a mayan, holding back them years" bmt lyrics are genius

Man was shaking at the end... That's how you know this was real rap.

donnys hard man, fully got me wishing his bro got probation

Wow I was going crazy looking for this video and when I finally found the link smh.

I remember my boy telling me to check this guy out a couple days ago, glad i just remember cuz this fully went in, shoutout Dave!!

Deserves a million views honestly❗️

Anyone listening in 2019????

Mad too see the growth

Raps with real emotion, looking forward to hearing new stuff from him, raw talent

I pulled this shit up like ten times before It got to da two minute mark. This shit is fire my nigga coming from Canada

2019, Dave listening to this makes you realise what he’s been through to get where he is now, will always be the coldest and realist in the game

Mad to read all the comments saying he’s gonna blow now he’s got a no1 album in the uk.

You’re a real one if you’re still here!

Whos here doing one big throwback on dave's old songs, because of his number 1 album?? Well Done Dave, His blackbox being pure rage and conviction. He is the UK's most versatile artist at his age with ridiculous wordplay only more to come!!

Goosebumps EVERY single time

Till this day still a banger 🔥

Goosebumps everytime. Real grime.

9 years on and this still hits hard.

Listened to this over 100 times. He's to live

Eminem- no apologies instrumental (your welcome)😏😉

Last minute is one the most raw emotional verses I’ve ever heard I’m ngl Dave a real street boy

Just saw Dave in Bristol today I can honestly say he is humble respectful and nice. Mad respect to him remains true after he has made it, best man in the game., 🙌

2019 and still listening. Deserved of what he's got now - true talent.

needs to rap like this 1 more time 2023 still banging it

I come back to this mostly everyday to remind myself of true rap. Dave is defiantly going places.

The way he raps knowing that it’s all on the line is priceless. Just can’t be replicated now that he’s made it.

one of my favorites from Dave still to this day, passion on this one, you can feel it.

3 years on still banging 💯💯 Dave blowing into the scene big time, respect

Walking down my road and I don't even know my ends now Everybody's shanked up, everybody's got a skeng now And man are tryna cotch with a jezzy Talking about they're cocking a semi They move rocks at the ready See, every boy's a trapper 'til the shit hits the fan And then the shit hits the walls, you're flushing bits of the raw And every girl's a trap queen, 'til they kick in the door And now you're in a station telling stories like Roald Dahl Your man are in a holding cell, hoping that you hold out My ends is all fucked now, got a nigga tryna cut now I've been to the end of that road Bruv I've been to them graveyards I've been to the pen for my bros And bruv I've seen what a skeng does to mugs in the south Like I've seen a shank leave a nigga's guts hanging out Seen big straps make a whip crash, no whiplash Big money maker, big man look like a kid akh You ain't really from here Armani's clean, the vision's never cloudy So know what I'm-on-clear, you're trapping for designer I'm in and out of Santander On a madness doing recon for a line up 4-1-9, that's word to my Nigerian uncle up in Lagos No favours for the paper Bring all your guys and you can lose that war You bring a burner to the beef, I'll make you use that corn You bring a turner to the madness, you could lose that corn My Leicester niggas have you missing, thats some uni-corn School ain't ever rated, girls call me a money man The yutes call me a paigon But I've never been a witness like Jehovah So I couldn't tell you my involvement, from sticks to revolvers I've never been no victim to them olders So I can't disclose what the holder gets You have to ask my older friends Never been a witness like Jehovah So I couldn't tell you my involvement, from sticks to revolvers I've never been no victim to them olders So I can't disclose what the holder gets You have to ask my older friends For half dark, half light, get it for a calm price Hanging out the passy, like Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight What the fuck's a one-on-one? Fighting fucking punch to punch I'll boot you in your face bruv I won't ever watch my darg fight The fuck you gonna tell me that you love me Gave my boys my square and they still tried to bump me That was way back, I had to switch the game up Now I got springs in my 110's, and springs in that... They gave my brother 18 for a fucking murder A knife crime, the lifetime, the whole sentence he's serving Now in my chest, my brother knows it's burning Them visits had me crying, had me whelping Had me taking pills to help it Looking, thinking who am I? Trust, you never knew this guy Grandma died, had my mother stricken, talking suicide Trust me I don't say that shit Why I never rate these kids My mum was on a madness You ain't never seen no pain like this I know you niggas feel this Brother putting on a brave face for the visit But I know my brother feels it And my brother don't reveal it, nah My brother don't reveal it Taking life from my mother, my brothers don't wanna steal it But this track's got me on a rage My brother's stressed out, a man can see it in his face Like man can see it in his eyes, he's holding back the tears That judge moving like a Mayan, holding back them years They done my brother dirty Doing hard time, he didn't even do the dirties But I can't say much, 'cause certain man are snitches And certain man are bitches And certain girls are witches And Wale was a witness Put their shanks in my brother's bag, how's that fair? Gave Scalez 16, and bruv he wasn't even there Case was all banter 'til junior got cancer And mums got sick, and tales got told And then the paint wore off, and true colours got shown And certain man go free, and all the real niggas don't So, shout out Lewis and shout out Serge Now I'm rolling with an 'arghh' that will get man 'arghh' What? Like Wale, I'ma get you down A couple man they wanna get you, I'ma get you first I'ma get you last, and I'ma get you well And show you snitching motherfuckers just why you don't tell So how the fuck you gonna tell me that you hate me? When I was dead broke, they still bumped me on my AC's I've never had dough, them niggas laughed, they wouldn't rate me Now the trainers on my feet are like minimum like 380 What? 'Cause I'm Prada boy now, I'm money boy now I'm piano boy now, I'm Mr. Duck a Man Down Mr. Fucking Stop Asking, how I get my P's in Asking for a bring in, none of you brought me in Brother fuck a fake friend, why you fucking riding for? I've got a couple people that I'd die for Ride out, lights out My brothers pulling strings from up in High Down To get you skied before the sky down Look at this guy now

This guy legitimately has lyrics that are way beyond his age and appearance, glad to know there are youths like me out there ! Present, and Future of grime right here ! Stay blessed Santan Dave

Hard bars Santan, Speaking the truth no exaggeration hard to find these days. Keep it up! You've earned my share & my boys 100%

If you deep it it's acc mad how fast this guy blew up. This was uploaded in 2015 deserves all the fame though 💯💯

2019 and this is still one of the realist raps I ever heard glad to see this guys blown

You knew he was destined to kill it. 2023 now and this doesn't ever disappoint 🔥

Bro this brother young and he tell more truth than the rest of theses man’s now a days

Not all rappers deserve to blow and there is alot of luck involved. Dave was destined to blow no matter what. Pure talent.

Look what he is now, amazing. Number 1 debut album, lyrics that Eminem and Kendrick Lamar would be proud of.

Find myself back here every now and again even in 2019, this shit too real
