[Intro: Dave's brother]
Like man was sayin', bruv
Many nights, man prayed bruv
Somewhere, someone's gonna help me, through this man
Someone's gonna help bring me out of this shit, you know?
Time, it took a while for man to recognize boy
Who you were gonna send, and you know what? Mans, I'm very proud
I'm very happy to see it's one of my own innit, you know?
And boy, I know none of this is easy, you know?
I'm just proud to be, to be witnessing what's going on man, you know?

[Dave]
Look, I don't know where to start
But I just done my first psychodrama
And I hope the world hears my craft
I'm excited man, I pray you get to hear my craft
From our childhood, our mother didn't hear me laugh
I'm presentin' you the future, I don't fear my past
I ain't got a tattoo anywhere near my arms
But best believe on my sleeves' where I wear my heart
Do you know how easy it is to be a sinner?
How many losses you need before you can be a winner?
Reason with a criminal that needs to eat a dinner
Is it survival of the fittest or is he a killer?
Losin' dad was big, losin' you was even bigger
Never had a father and I needed you to be the figure
We're forgettin' we had a brother that was even bigger
We were figures just tryna figure out who could be a figure...
My brothers never spoke to each other when I was growin' up
I remember tryna build a bridge, I wasn't old enough
I pray I hold the game for as long as you man can hold a grudge
Years went by, I know it's fucked, I had to hold it up
for mummy on my own, I know it's tough, I got the coldest blood
I remember when you got sentenced and I was throwin' up
It's like they took a piece of my freedom when I had opened up
I just lost the only fuckin' person that I idolized
For my entire life I copied you down to the finest line
Bro I got a flame in my mind that I'm tryna firefight
The pill I had to swallow wasn't bitter, it was cyanide
I learn over time, separation issues I describe
are probably the reasons that I struggle feelin' anything
I ain't got a vision of a marriage or a wedding ring
It's world domination in music or it ain't anything
I'm obsessed, focused on the objective
Tell a don yes, disagree, I object
Used to treat my women like an object
Girls want a monster come and see I'm the Loch Ness, settle for a lot less
I just hope you're proud of me brother, it's been a long stretch
You're my hero and prior to this
I was livin' on the edge like a house on a cliff
But now I'm livin' in the +present+ like my house was a gift
I'm goin' psycho, this scene's mine bro
Rappers wanna diss me, it's only online though
They put the "mic" and "soft" in the micro-
-soft? Not I bro, swimmin's the only time I can lie though
And lemme be genuine
Anybody rich my age is American, kickin' ball or inherited
It only makes sense I'm independent, knowin' everything it happened how I'm tellin' it
You niggas aren't gettin' it
I'm comin' from the struggle, I survived and I'm still here
Used to bump trains, that's two ways, I don't feel fear
I don't know trust, I know a tight bond will tear
Like a good wig, I can't tell you if it's real here
I'm from South London brother, people gettin' killed here
You can make a mil' but you can lose it if you're still here
I lost over thirty grand to family, I'm still here
The word don't appeal to me, you steal from me, I'm still here
Bro I wasn't made for this
I don't get a break but I'm aware of what breakin' is
I wish you could take a hint as well as you can take the piss
I don't even speak to our brother, man I just pray for him, it's never too late for him
Life is at its craziest, walls started cavin' in
All the things I've seen would turn a theist atheist
I didn't get 99 marks in English, I was fakin' it
I got 98 cause I don't know what a vacation is...
If you saw God, what would you say to Him?
If given the chance, would you have taken it?
If you could rewind time, what would you change in it?
Do you believe in what an angel is?
Furthermore, do you believe in what the devil is?
Do you believe that I can illustrate what Streatham is
Then break the fourth​ wall and base "Lesley" on my relatives?
I'm grateful for my life because I aimed for this
Every bad moment, every single fuckin' day of this
People lookin' at me, that's what fame can bring
But to understand the stairs, you take steps then retrace the shit
I tell my circle, the future's ours, we're shapin' it
The past is just the reason I had came to this...
I thank God for the pain because it made me this

[Outro: Dave's brother]
Don't know if you remember them days bruv
I see them days, one night in particular bruv
I think, um, for some reason, man put on a beat
It was us in the front room, freestylin', bar-for-bar
I don't even know how old you was these times bruv
Probably about, mmm, 10, 9, 10
Yeah man, when I think about it now
I think about the transition, them days there, you had no bars
But, let's be real, did anyone bruv?
You know what I mean? It's called context bruv
But, it was mad fun bruv
But the stuff nowadays today, it's proper man, you know what I mean man?
I think man's, uh, definitely blessed to see how the whole ting's come together
Sometimes when I think it was, "JKYL+HYD" man
You played man, that one there
Man was thinkin', "Yo, this one here is a banger" bruv
I remember, when I heard that one live on the
On the airwaves for the first time bruv, we was pumpin' it
Man come to my door was like "Rah man, that's a bit loud, you know?"
I'm like, "Fam, that's my brudda", he's like "Yeah?"
And you know, on your birthday, man sent you a little card
And it begins, 'Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel
But Samuel said to him, "The Lord has not chosen these."
So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?"
"There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he's tending the sheep."
Samuel said, "Send for him, we will not sit down to eat until he arrives."
So he sent and had him brought in
He was ruddy and of fine appearance and handsome features
And then the Lord said, "Rise and anoint him, he's the one."'
Bro, you know what that means? Say no more man
