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
@@R---18 The entire London accent is hard to read. Slang, references ect will fly over sombodys head who knows nothing about the uk. The only reason you would get all the American preferences in rap history is becuse American history, culture, slang, and pop culture is all shoved down foreigners throats
Ratmuncher uk has the best grime and real rap going for the last 20 years🤷♂️ in american they have Eminem and all these muble rappers that talk and don’t rap
"I got a baby across Bow like Cupid" Bow: place in east London "across": highlighting west to east A crossbow + Baby: Cupid Dave's too much. No waste in the similes. 🔥🔥🔥
A G he’s on about girls so he’s saying their ass shakes but phrases it as”sheikh” denoting the Saudi prince which is someone who should be respected so he still respects her
dave is a genius honestly. the songs Lesley, How i met my ex, Black, Drama, Environment, My 19th birthday are such deep songs & that’s the reason i think dave is such an amazing artist.
"Angry Merc that's war with a German Winston Churchill" Mercedes is a German brand, Angela Merkel 'merk' is German prime minister, and Churchill was at war with the Germans. And that was from one line 👌
Nah you got it wrong. “Two angry men in a merc”(Mercedes, which is a German car) “that’s war with a German, Winston Churchill ( he was a British leader at war with the nazis(Germans)
i don’t need a me and you like when a chef would eat at his restaurant (Menu), there’s loads of double word play but some are english slang which you unfortunately don’t get
"Ramz done a madness charting, say that man got something in common cause trust me both of their tings been barking" this line FIYA BRUV. Ramz has a song that's blown up recently called 'Barking'
Dave - Professor X . You need to get on that ASAP! no explanation needed. The track is a solar flare. 1 million degrees. Salute from the UK, nice bars at the end hahahahahahaha!!!
4:20 *And I dont need a "me an you" like when a chef would eat at his restaurant* Me n you, me n u, menu!! I dont need a menu like when a chef would eat at his restaurant🔥🔥🔥
He didn’t realise the last bar “but I don’t need a me ‘n u like when a chef would eat at his restaurant” me ‘n u = menu and a chef eating at his own restaurant the chef creates and cooks the menu. Dave is a crazy lyricist
The bar no one catches “I don’t need a me n you like a chef would eat at his restaurant” ... double “I don’t need a me-n-u, menu” because a chef wouldn’t need a menu if he eats at his restaurant.... Dave cold af
"I don't want to do u n i like im in lester skipping my lectures" 🥶🥶 u n i (uni) obviously short for universety. Havent seen any1 in the comment talk about this bar
You didn’t pick up on one lyric I love. “I don't wanna do you and I Like I'm in Leicester skippin' my lectures” you and I being used with his accent sounds like it’s said as U N I also known as uni or university and he’s skipping his university lectures
"cutting through bricks like the 118" -118 bus crashed into a bridge - getting through brick phones (nokias etc) - spending loads of money on 118118 calls "I don't wanna do U and I, Like I'm in Leicester skipping my lectures" U and I (UNI) he went to Leicester uni. "I don't need a me and u, like if a chef would eat at his restaurant." Me and u ( Me n u) He doesn't need a menu like if a chef would eat at his restaurant. Dave is a lyrical genius - -
@@dannyedsers I know that I'm from South. But the bus crashed into a bridge which is also why 'cutting through bricks' has another meaning of the phrase than just going through Brixton.
Cutting(cuting is also road talk for leaving) through bricks/brix (Brixton a borough in South London) like the 118. (118 a bus that goes through on end to the other of Brixton). On of the most used bus services in London. Bars just 🔥
This guy doesn’t have one bad song he’s definitely my favourite rapper in the up right now. Dave - Question Time is one of the best still relevant today
@@donathan2933 they both speak English right? Anyway I wasn’t criticising I was just making a point that he would most likely appreciate the bars a lot more if he understood more of them.
@@Justdelzie bruh this song is centered around Streatham UK. If you ain't from there nor the UK you won't really understand the references Dave is making. LayebackFr is American and so am I, I don't expect him to understand. Sorry if it seems like I'm overreacting
@@donathan2933 no it doesn’t seem like you’re overreacting, it does seem like you’re missing my point though, I understand why he may not get all the lyrics, that part is very clear, he is American, Dave is a British rapper, what I’m saying is, he would most likely appreciate the lyrics more if he understood more of them.
