Dave History Lyrics (feat. James Blake)
This is God’s plan, he said it to me
An angel either side of my bed in a dream
Singing, “You don’t know what you’re yet to achieve
And you’re destined for some shit you would never believe”
Now the garden same size as Adam and Eve’s
I’ve got trees, a forest, you better believe
For the bass and the treble, I treble the fee
I can’t wish my ex the best, she would end up with me
How can I sleep when there’s money to get with the team?
You disrespect the 16, your head on a beam
For the lust of the money, the head of the Queen
I done shit I didn’t think I could ever redeem
I’m from South, where they struggle with saying your name
But it’s easy when pronouncing you dead on the scene
So when you see me on these stages, stepping in clean, I hope
You know this history
In the making
Shall we make it?
Yeah, and when they talk on my name in this country, they gon’ tell you that I’m already a legend
In the making
Streatham that I’m repping, clean stepping, bro, you need to forget it
Fuck eco friendly, my car eco aggressive
And my ego aggressive, better leave me a message
Yeah, you done it for a year, but that ain’t impressive
I give a fuck about success if it ain’t successive, that ain’t
History
City’s gonna listen on repeat
Gone a couple summers, so they miss me on a beat
It don’t matter if she pretty and petite, if she ain’t B, she can’t even kiss me on the cheek
Mum said never build a house on sand, but I don’t think I listened cah the villa’s by the beach
And I did it off the beats, I just whip it and I screech
Anytime you see my **** in the streets
You know this history
In the making
Making
Shall we make it?
Did I, did I get addicted to the life? Well, it’s all that I wanted
And it was fun for a while, but history smiles on us
Now we’re on to something, on to something higher
And I hold my hand closed, I’m inspired
And I’m holding on to a version of our lives where you’re still mine
You know this history
In the making
Shall we make it?
Yeah, my mum told me what my name really means and the powers just kicked in
Got me thinking back to days when I was a victim to this ting
Thinking I was keeping it balanced, I was even embarrassed selling CDs in Paris
But this music gave me everything I’d need in a marriage
I can’t speak sideways on grime, jungle, or garage
When I know that it’s the reason we managed to make
History
Don’t be a hero, I ain’t looking to hurt anyone
I got a clean one, and I got a dirtier one
I never see a man late to his own funeral
But I done see a man show up early to one
I prefer the one that’s slim, but I don’t mind me the curvier one
Yeah, and I’m coming from the south of the river, where the sky is black
If not for the history that we made, they wouldn’t like rap
**** tryna water down our ting, it’s time to fight back
For 70 hours I’ve been stepping with powers and it’s definitely ours, it’s time
You mention my name, better know that you’re playing with pepper
He borrowed a mill’ and I told him to pay me whenever
Knew it was different from the moment we came in
And you can quote me ’cause I said it verbatim
The woman with me like a Renaissance painting
I’m Michelangelo’s David, and anytime you mention me in a statement you better know that it’s
History
