“Cutting through bricks like the 118” the 118 is a bus that goes through Brixton....

[@_WeDontKnow_]

Some of the bars in this song are actually at an elite level

[@jameslifts2196]

Mad

[@wordonthestreet5208]

I thought he was referring to the 118 advert where they just run through shit

[@NooBSonICE29]

Also cutting through bricks like cocaine. A 118 also crashed into a house in streatham.

[@wordonthestreet5208]

noobsonice29 no way, wld be mad if he was talking abt that

[@JWoody70]

"Don't need a me n u like when a chef would eat at his restaurant" HARDEST BAR I'VE HEARD

[@mentally.retired]

Yeah that was fire

[@champagnedonnie788]

10000000000000% FACTS

[@champagnedonnie788]

He didn’t even catch it smh

[@simonsShorts]

'I don't wanna do U 'n' I , Like I'm in Leicester skippin' my lectures' The earlier bar that works the same. Leicester Uni.

[@DstumpJ]

Shit I missed that.

[@angusmayo4493]

Man has to pause and say "that's fire" every time he understands a UK bar 🤣

[@l0wk3yaflexer25]

frrr man 🤣 pahaahah

[@r-y7911]

Idk if you caught these - Me N U (menu) like when a chef would eat at his restaurant. U N I - (Uni/University) Leicester University When he says "Everything shake, no saudi" in Arabic Sheikh means "Man of respect", so he's respectfully letting the girl do her thing Ramz is another artist from around the Streatham area of London, him and Dave are aquainted, and he also has a song called Barking. "Something in Common" when referring to Ramz is probably "Sutton Common" which is a place in London. Jordan Sparks "Run up and spark him" NIKE Jordans... Spark him or knock him out. Also referring to Michael Jordan Basketball player. "My young G done draws and eights, now he's cutting through bricks like the 118" - Dave worked with a guy who sold weed, a draw has different meaning everywhere, where I'm from it's a puff. Dave's old co-worker moved on from selling weed and started selling cocaine. 1-1 is also the last score of both the last Draw and Eight his old co-worker had left after selling the rest off. In December 2018 the 118 to Brixton double decker bus also crashed (Trying to cut if you will). "Gassed off a note that's purple" referring to £20 sterling which (You guessed it) is purple, Dave's saying he doesn't understand the excitement over £20 when you can make X amount more, "Bet you never got it off white like Virgil" Obviously Virgil Abloh (Off White Creator) but he's saying "I bet you didn't make that £20 off of coke" (Off of White) "Two man and an angry merc, that's war with a German, Winston Churchill" - Merc (Mercedes-Benz and Angela Merkel) And of course Winston Churchill, PM during the 2nd World War "Mad when man wanna merc/merk you, but you know, you gotta be in by curfew" - Dave's saying "It's crazy when people try and stab you" And referring to people being on Ankle-Tag or being young since they have "Curfews" Mitcham, Streatham and Tooting are all areas in South London. Bow is also a place in EAST London where Dave is referencing by saying "I'm in East tryna link my girl, Cause I've got a baby a crossbow like Cupid". Because of the ongoing postcode war, A LOT of young adults/teens are being killed (Dave has a song called "Hangman" where he goes more in depth with it) Dave has also made a couple of songs in the past detailing how his brother unfortunately ended up in Prison (check out his "Blackbox freestyle") So when he says "Man are dead or in Jail" that's what he's saying and it's DEEP. "Tell a yute if you've got a brain then use it, I drive past man I went school with, you was the cool kid, now you look clueless" Inspiring younglings to use their brains, and telling us how he came from nothing to something and saw the guy he went to school with in a rut. "Fuck an audi switch it for the benz" The TT (Audi model) = 10/10 or uncut. Pure cocaine. "When you're tryna make it out the ends" cut the ends of the coke to make more from that. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" Same quote wrote differently, "Friends of enemies, are enemies, and enemies of enemies are friends". "Fuck the benz switch it for a beamer, tell the dealer need a bigger litre" - Beamers are slang for BMW/BM's, stronger and faster cars Dave's mentioned before a few times, that he isn't a fan of beef, so when saying "He told me he's on me when he see's me, I barely remember why we're beefing" - he isn't gonna beef with you for no reason

[@K4MZCWG]
