Dave – Heart Attack Lyrics

Artist: Dave
Song: Heart Attack

HEART ATTACK
Knife crimes is near a record high
With more than forty blade offenses every day in London
At a youth club in South London not far from where someone was stabbed less that twenty-four hours ago

The outline to direct link between violent crimes, social exclusion and
Look, I bet thеm boys think I’m panickin’
Check on my young Gs that carrying
The blade same length as a javelin

I don’t know about B-ball or what’s happenin’
But know that it’s f#ck if he travellin’ and we see him
I can’t lie, I was depressed at phases
I was nineteen when the team nearly left them faceless

Hopin’ that we never left no traces
You know when you’re so damn tired in your house
But you can’t sleep ’cause you got pendin’ cases
I used to love temptin’ faith, but now it’s temptin’ faces

My heart, my career, I was part of that
My best friend got a burner, and it’s lookin’ like an artifact
Put it in your puffer or your Prada hat
Like f#ck panic, that’s a heart attack

Yeah, it’s like, life so f#cked in the time that we’re in
We’re fightin’ the world, and we’re fightin’ within
Somali dad ran away from a war
Now his son’s in a war, that’s the cycle we’re in

I know n#gg#s that didn’t do time in a bin
That have never had freedom, I’ll ‘mind you, you sick?
‘Round here main way to provide for your kin
Is in a flick blade, little push bike and a sim

In London a place where it’s nicer to live
It’s only five minutes south from the guys on the strip
Where man made Ye work, heard he a solider
I know that n#gg# hasn’t got balls like Grey Worm

As I grow older, change of perspective
I gotta stay loyal to my girl, that’s the trait she’s was blessed with
Restaurants, raves with my bredrins
Life’s too short, so we gotta turn up

Man talk on my ting for the ‘Gram, it’s intrusive
I never really thought about taking a life
‘Til I found out my ex-girl’s dad is abusive
I felt “How could I be man and not do shit?”

I’m on the way there now, and I don’t wanna lose it
But fightin’ her battle’s only hurtin’ the girl
How can I protect her from the world
When I couldn’t even protect her from myself?

On my grandmother’s grave, sh#t happens again
I put a knife through a family friend
Most the women that I know, sh#t happened to them
So when the sentence guilty, ain’t somethin’ I have to respect

I think back to my youth and I was so ungrateful
How many of our parents had dreams they abandoned so they could put food on the table?
Intelligent, worthy and able, that’s somebody’s parent
You know?

And that affected the way that I see sh#t
Night club toilet
You peed on the seat, ’cause you don’t know how it feels when your mom’s gotta clean sh#t
And her boss treats her like she don’t even mean sh#t

And she gotta wait for bus in the rain and it’s freezin’
And Mrs. said that you would never be sh#t
And you don’t wanna cry about dad, but you need him
I grew up so f#cked, but I didn’t even deep it

I’m numb to the feelin’ of grievin’
A man gettin’ burded
African moms on the floor, just screamin’
It’s mad cah I try so hard

Death’s got to be easy, ‘cah life’s so hard
I was twelve wishin’ that I was a white man
I was dead broke, fam, I couldn’t swipe mans card
The time might pass, but I still gotta stay with it

It wasn’t his beef, but I see him try claimin’ it
That’s why he caught a bullet with another man’s name on it
Now he can’t do leg day or put strain on it
Every time you hear me freestyle, put pain in it

I used to wonder “Does God have favorites?”
Touch me, it’s dangerous, I wouldn’t play with it
‘Cause you can go sleep, and have a different type of wake for it
I miss my dawgs, unstable

You violate, turn Chris Benoit
Have ’em hit from far, nah
Fill ’em up with bricks and glass, nah
My young Gs will grip, then blast

Have you tried in the street? f#ck findin’ my feet
I could ride, but it’s better when I’m ridin a beat
My emotion to peak, it ain’t a sign of defeat
All the week I would have missed it and cried in my sleep

Dropped just two racks and told them “Buy the machine”
I’m LeBron in Miami, I provide for the heat
God strike me if I’m lyin’, I ain’t cryin’ in this beef
Unless the tears comin’ tatted on the side of my cheek

I provide for my peeps, the Lamb’ white in the seats
So I’m literally a wolf, this guys the sheep
You have five figure dreams, I have five figure sleep
Five hours more than enough time that I need

Man want a fair fight, but I ain’t on it when I see him
f#ck one-up, this revolver is onamonapia
Let it “Stut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-ter” when you see him
Free Skellz, Free C and free my n#gg#s ’til I see ’em

I wouldn’t wanna be him
My old Gs roamin’, I don’t need a coliseum
You see it?
So I’m playin’ it good, let hood politics stay in the hood

f#ck the internet, you see this new generation
The Insta beef and I ain’t into speakin’
When I duck down
I had him runnin’ in a lift like he missed the meetin’

There’s no good reason to risk your freedom
The yutes dem snitch and them b#tches sneaky
She don’t wanna talk ’bout friendships
She just wanna deal with the pipe like I’m fixin’ leakin’

And sleep with a legend like Chrissy Teigen
Where I’m from the word “Life” has a different meanin’
Man smile in your face, but them n#gg#s schemin’
Try and involve me in a flakey dealin’

Sistine Chapel, I’ma paint the ceilin’
I been violated and I hate the feelin’
That’s why nowadays man hates the preachin’
We smile in the visit, ’cause we ain’t defeated

The supreme court, so my mates appealin’
I can’t breathe that girl, that’s torture
South London, it’s just slags on the corner
And influencers tryna bag them a baller

She a gold-digger, I can tell from her aura
The social say princess, she a porper
When it’s time for it, need more for my daughter
Call me a talker, but man’ll get in line like lambs in the slaughter

It’s life-threatening and I can tell from the borrow
Cut through a n#gg# like a knife though flora
Feds got the guys on a case and they stalk us
It’s conspiracy like tinfoil hats and a new world order

Touch me, better have a life insurer
Blood thirsty, I got sharks in the water
And trust me, I know a killer whale, no orca
Had you ever seen a nightmare brought to life?

Where I’m from, you get cheffed on a normal night
Men talk on my name, but it’s pork, you pies
I really put it in a prick like a porcupine
Little bro wanna save for a .45

Go board the flight, there’s more to life
Yutes on the M6 all the time
We don’t need TFL for a northern line
All the best politicians been taught to lie

We didn’t buy cocaine or snort the white
Are the dealers safe or on the borderline?
It’s ironic, ’cause we don’t where to draw the line
Man see Blue Story, they’re mortified

Man see Scarface and it’s glorified
‘Cause when you’re black, everything gets scrutinized
That’s why they call it “Urban”, it gets euphemized
South London, man are gettin’ euthanized

I see a yutes demise, I wasn’t too surprise
He got soaked by right and scuba dive
Don’t die by the sword you used to shine
You can drown for your king, you don’t about Eufemia

Cah we got iron, I don’t know about anemia
I took the hard road, we don’t know ’bout the easier
One bag a horse and drug paraphernalia
When ends got sticky, had a flicky with Emelia, I mean Olivia

This ain’t Libya, this ain’t Syria
You act sillier, we let it seep in your skin like Nivea
Who wants to be a millionaire? I want it
Never done a gameshow or trivia

I done ones where no one else visit
I done Springhill, Grendon, Swimphin, Whitemore, Swaleside, Brixton visitor
I done M-way trips, done sh#t that I wished I never did
Becah I could have been a prisoner

Is this the sh#t that appeals to the listeners?
Road ain’t no amazing life
The ends full of snakes and jails, just a waste of time
I tell my young Gs “Take your time”

f#ck Jazz, you can really see a major nine
Yo, I’m so ashamed of how I used to get figures
Man sell you a dream like the road tings lit
And then he leave out the parts where you’re burying your n#gg#s

Or in jail, wonderin’ who’s puttin’ dick in your Mrs
I’m so f#ckin’ determined
I was intensive care when I was born, mommy fell down the stairs
Whether I was gonna live or not was somethin’ uncertain

I used the word “Fell”, with the commas inverted
You see, growin’ up I had it far from perfect
But nobody did, so I’m a normal person
I gotta be grateful, we all have demons and all see angels

Or maybe it’s me, a black yutes more than a face on a screen
A number on a laptop or name on a sheet
We got stories to tell and places to be
From my heart, that’s the makin’ of me

I was really about to lose
I sat on my hands
I struggled ’cause I didn’t want to suffer again
I just wanted, didn’t wanna make my son upset

I went to
I tried so much, we have no strength
I was in detention for months, I didn’t give up
I was not even twenty when I left Africa

I was determined to survive
I was determined to survive
I didn’t have anybody, nobody was helpin’ me
You was six weeks old, this is when we left from Africa

I was on the streets for three years
Nobody let me eat, nobody in this nation
I couldn’t pay my rent, gettin’ deported
I didn’t give up, I carried on everywhere
