Dave - Black 

Dave is honestly a young genius. This HAS to win awards man.

Dave is flames. Definitely my favorite UK rapper! The storytelling on this is f*cking amazing

Stormy: Superheroes Dave: Black

"Loud in our laughter, SIlent in our suffering" ~Let that sink

“Blacker the berry sweeter the juice, blacker the killer sweeter the news” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Black is creating a Grammy Award winning masterpiece, and not being nominated.

"Loud in our laughter, silent in our suffering" those are words straight from the heart man

This touches me as a white male living in England with many black friends seeing them left out, treated differently and picked on. This songs message is touching. It makes me want to help and change and stick up for my brothers. I hope this song changed many perspectives. Much love ❤️

Who’s here after his outstanding performance?

This guy didn’t pour his heart out into this song just for 5 million views

Tupac would be proud of the structure of the lyrics.

“Tryna help a lady cross the road and have her walking off” this shit is deep 😔

“Black is being guilty till you are proven innocent” damn this bar is deep

Dave isn't trying to "bring down other races" or "play the victim". He is trying to empower black people and show them that they are equally as worthy as any other race and just as beautiful.

After the euros.. still relevant

How on earth I'm I just knowing this song? Dave is a true Genius. The Deeper the story, the better the message. Music is a great tool to show the world how we feel, I really hope more Musicians would do this.

*I don't respect people who don't respect the meaning of this song* 👇

We need to stream this like mad to get it to number 1 next week, not just because it's Dave, not just because it's a great song but because it tells such a powerful story that the rest of the world needs to hear.

“Black is all I know there ain’t a thing that I would change in it” 🖤

“They take our features when they want and have their fun with it” I’m not black but that’s so true and happens regularly in our society

''Loud in our laughter, silent in our suffering'' - That line hit me hard.

RIP Cadet. He'd be very happy.

I'm American and this is the first time I heard this song. James Corden played it on his show 6.12th 2020. THIS IS THE DEEPEST SHIT I EVER HEARD!!! MUCH PROPS DAVE!!! I'M TRYING TO SPREAD THE WORD ON THIS SONG, IT REPRESENTS THE SENTIMENT, HISTORY AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BLACK!!!! HEARTFELT!!! MUCH LOVE!!!!

Look, black is beautiful, black is excellent Black is pain, black is joy, black is evident It's workin' twice as hard as the people you know you're better than 'Cause you need to do double what they do so you can level them Black is so much deeper than just African-American Our heritage been severed, you never got to experiment With family trees, 'cause they teach you 'bout famine and greed And show you pictures of our fam on their knees Tell us we used to be barbaric, we had actual queens Black is watchin' child soldiers gettin' killed by other children Feelin' sick, like, "Oh shit, this could have happened to me" Your mummy watchin' tellin' stories 'bout your dad and your niece The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice A kid dies, the blacker the killer, the sweeter the news And if he's white you give him a chance, he's ill and confused If he's black he's probably armed, you see him and shoot Look, black is growin' up around the barbershop Mummy sayin', "Stay away from trouble, you're in yard a lot" Studying for ages, appreciatin' the chance you got 'Cause black is in your blood, and you ain't even got the heart to stop Black is steppin' in for your mother because your father's gone And standin' by your children when you haven't proven karma wrong Black is doin' all of the above then goin' corner shoppin' Tryna help a lady cross the road to have her walkin' off Black is growin' up around your family and makin' it Then being forced to leave the place you love because there's hate in it People say you fake the shit, never stayed to change the shit But black is bein' jealous, you'd be dead if you had stayed in it Black is strugglin' to find your history or trace the shit You don't know the truth about your race 'cause they erasin' it Black has got a sour fuckin' flavour, here's a taste of it But black is all I know, there ain't a thing that I would change in it Look, black ain't just a single fuckin' colour, man there's shades to it Her hair's straight and thick but mine's got waves in it Black is not divisive, they been lyin' and I hate the shit Black has never been a competition, we don't make this shit Black is deadly Black is when you're freezin' in your home and you can't get sleep but never feelin' empty 'Cause you got 20 cousins in your country living stress-free Walkin' for their water, daughter wrapped inside a bed sheet Black is distant It's representin' countries that never even existed while your grandmother was livin' Black is my Ghanaian brother readin' into scriptures Doin' research on his lineage, findin' out that he's Egyptian Black is people namin' your countries on what they trade most Coast of Ivory, Gold Coast, and the Grain Coast But most importantly to show how deep all this pain goes West Africa, Benin, they called it slave coast Black is so confusin', 'cause the culture? They're in love with it They take our features when they want and have their fun with it Never seem to help with all the things we know would come with it Loud in our laughter, silent in our sufferin' Black is bein' strong inside and facing defeat Poverty made me a beast, I battled the law in the streets We all struggled, but your struggle ain't a struggle like me Well how could it be when your people gave us the odds that we beat? I mean, fuckin' hell, what about our brothers that are stuck in jail? That couldn't bust a bell, they held a bird and gotta live with it Black is bein' guilty until proven that you're innocent Black is sayin', "Free my fucking niggas stuck inside in prison cells" They think it's funny, we ain't got nothin' to say to them Unconditional love is strange to them; it's amazin' 'em Black is like the sweetest fuckin' flavour, here's a taste of it But black is all I know, there ain't a thing that I would change in it

“Black is being guilt until your proven innocent” The realest out there 🙌🏾😶

Loud is our laughter, silent in our suffering

Awww tears in my eyes 😢 Dave you are amazing 🙏🔥🔥🔥

I'm white and I fully support this. Being Black is as beautiful and as honourable as any other skin colour. Your music speaks more than you think. I like when you touch sensible topics, really good stuff.

"They take our features when they want and have fun with it" Preach

Dave always speaking truth with elegance and finesse 👌🏄‍♂️

"They take our features when they want and have their fun with it." Line is deep. 2:53

I love songs like this because black people from all over the world can relate to this on some level and that shows no matter how much they tried to divide us we are more similar than we're not

This is bigger than views or awards, its about truth, this guy is also the truth, Thanks Dave

I've said this before and I'll say it again, no one even comes close to Dave in terms of talent

This was and still is one of my favorite tracks from psychodrama and omg not only the message but the amount of guest stars especially TOPBOY cast in there as well it's just beautiful

I am white and this song touches me so much, I have a mixed race daughter and I play this song to her everytime I have her just so she can know she's amazing no matter what and don't let anyone tell her otherwise, people really do need to realise that we're all human were all made of skin and bone does it really matter of the person's ethnicity, religion etc.

“The blacker the killer the sweeter the news” man that hits hard

“The blacker the killer, the sweeter the news” went over my headddd

Bruh. This one touched me to the core. The kind of lyrics, music, energy we need to start putting out more. Musically, culturally, we need to elevate past the black on black violence.

Dave is a poet, not just a singer.

This song deserves multiple Grammys. It’s just art tbh

“the blacker the killer, the sweeter the news”. unfortunately, that’s veryyy true

We need to get Dave to be big in America and around the world.... he needs to perform this song around the whole world

The reaction of English fans after the defeat in the Euros show we still have a long way to go 😔

“Black is being guilty until proven that you’re innocent”

This is unbelievable. Rate Dave so much 🙌🏽

This is what real storytelling is, when you tell the good and bad sides. Thank you for accurately portraying the high's and lows of being black Dave.

Anyone in 2024 June ❤❤❤

The real reason the album isn’t out yet is cuz we’re not ready to recieve it. He’s giving us chances to brace ourselves 🐐🐐🤧

Song we need during these times.

Just started listening to this man's sound today Am in love with the vocals !!!!!!!!!!! Greatest ♥

Dave is the Tupac in this generation

From a 60-year old Scottish white guy living in Paris: Dave, your song Black doesn't just speak to me it opens my eyes and my soul. You, your generation, all that burning talent, brothers and sisters, let your strength and positivity wake up poor old suffering Britain from its post-Brexit bewilderment. Johnny Rotten said it first: "There is no future, in England's dreaming!" Now you and your fellow artists take up the struggle, and it will be glorious. The future is yours. PSYCHODRAMA we salute you!

Dave is genuinely one of the best rappers in the world. Dave will go undoubtedly go down in history as a GOAT. Dave is a different level of elite. I'm just glad to say I've been here from early, I'm glad to say I get to witness it!

I am not black but I will stand with you I am not black but i will fight with you I am not black but i will defend you when you need it I am not black but i see you I am not black but i value you #blacklivesmatter ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Daves Music should be used during History classes. His Music Speaks more truth than any History Teacher or textbook ever could

Emotional, Powerful, Sad and Beautiful. Dave never ceases to amaze and inspire.

"Loud in our laughter, silent in our suffering" this cultural appropriation reference though🔥

Love to my Black folks worldwide, loud in our laughter and silent in our suffering ✊🏾

Black is Gold

Dave is one of the best influential rappers. He’s needs more recognition internationally.

This needs to blow up. Amazing.

Loud in our laughter silent in our suffering...

What a legend I can’t get over the fact he is so young! God bless Dave

Can’t relate to this on some levels due to my lack of melanin. However, I do appreciate the culture and a Dave banger when I hear one.

I'm not black But this song is BEAUTIFUL 🙏🙏 Big Up from France Dave.

this song deserves all the love it gets. the message is so powerful Dave i absolutely love it and this song is tooooo underrated. Absolute respect ✊

The fact that Dave spits straight bars with so much meaningful words only to get 6 million views is disrespectful 😤

You know them ones you gotta like before the video starts

This has more substance than Childish Gambino's This is America

From East of Africa 🇰🇪💯 I feel you,Black is all I know and realize our true potential. 🔥❣️💯 Thanks for the reminder young LION, keeping my head up high

Who’s here after the England game ?

Black queens raised kings like him

“you don’t know the truth about your race because they’re erasing it” woow 🔥🔥

What Dave did here no other Artist in History has ever been able to do. Michael Jackson may have come close with Heal the world. Touching very Touching 2 words - powerful - Beautiful

My english teacher shows us this masterpiece. We're french, and, to be honest, we're not so good at english. But- This. THIS You don't need to be bilingual for understand the emotions, the feeling of this song.

Dave is too precious. Protect him

When you hear the pianos you know it’s gonna be a banger

it annoys me how underrated this song is. this should be getting more attention especially after the George Floyd stuff

Black is winning regardless of the current situation ❤️

It’s really disappointing how this song is one of the most meaningful songs out there right now and it’s got one of the least views out of all of Daves songs/music videos

“Black is being guilty until proven that your” innocent💯💯

come back to this video whenever i’m feeling unmotivated or stuck in life, i love you dave ❤❤

✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 Representing East Africa. 🇰🇪 🇺🇬 🇹🇿 🇷🇼 🇧🇮 🇸🇸

This is so much better than rappers talking about how much money and women they get. This isn’t about hiding insecurities but about struggle and striving to do better. Good shit.

Dave is the best rapper in the UK right now no doubt🔥💯

This is my all time favorite. The talent this man has ....... massive !!!!!!

This is what real artists do ❤️ spread the word, spread the truth.

Why doesn’t this have a BILLION views???? Disgusting how underrated this song is.. I’m not black but this made me tear up... You Legend!!

This points out so many reasons why Dave is my favourite rapper in the uk , he’s lyrically talented and on a whole new level. Talks about real issues in our society and has a better grasp than most yutes that his age and even older. Lastly but not least whenever he brings out a song there’s an actual meaning to it and for that I respect him even more ‼️

Who's happy to be black like

Dave ur amazing this song has opened my eyes and others. this song is legendary. And this song will continue to open people eyes. Thank u for writing a beautiful masterpiece

‘Loud in our laughters silent in our suffering’ I felt that🤐

"They take our features when they want and have their fun with it" hit me harrrdd

If this song doesn’t give you literal chills and pride of your melanin. I don’t know what would

Dave is one of the most talented artists out globally in my opinion.

This is hard and I ain’t black

Black is, Dave drinking Supermalt around the table with his friends! 😄 I see you Dave! #theblackopinion

I'm proud to be black🖤✊🏽

Hip Hop has a long history but this song definitely etched it's way in to a chapter of that book. Phenomenal work
