As far as I know it is a true story and Ruelles part when she sings ''A child without a name'' it gives us the image that Lesley did not make it to name her child.

I’m 2 years late with this reply but for anyone who sees your comment: Dave explains, in a later track on the same album called Drama, that he based Lesley on his relatives. So the song was a way to tell the story of someone in his family without being specific. Also, as the album shows his chronology through therapy it’s a way of showing how he opened up about the real truth of the things he was saying towards the end, rather than just acting like they happened to random people

This is one of the deepest songs I’ve ever listened to. Every time I listen to it still I struggle not to cry…

There really is no need to struggle. Just let it come.

The final song in this album, “drama” is an outro to the album and talks about what he learned. He also says, “do you believe that I can illustrate what streatham is, then break the fourth wall and base Lesley on my relatives?”

So leasly isn’t his mom but one of his relatives? I was thinking she was his mom and Jason his dad, I forgot which song but he referenced his dad as someone who “ran away from a war and now his son is in a war”. At the end of the song it says a “soldier with out a war” which I believed was a reference to his dad again. I kinda made the connection that his dad was some kind of vet with problems that he laid on his mom before leaving, I’m not sure cauz I’ve searched so much without answers but I love this song man, heard it first almost a year ago and I’ve listen to it well over 200 times it just hits me to the core man. I love Dave and all his music he’s the future of music man.

@@afamagbatekwe4033 I know this is an old comment I'm replying to but that line about a dad running away from a war is not about his dad, the actual line is "Somali dad ran away from a war, now his son's in a war, that's the cycle we're in". Dave isn't Somali he's Nigerian and in that line he's just talking generally about the state of the world and not about himself. Dave's dad also isn't a veteran but he did get deported when Dave was still at a very young age so he was never part of his life.

As an actual Lesley iv been in this exact situation. Two children by 18 to an abusive man. Shamefully I didn’t get out for me but my daughters I had so low value of my self. Glad I got out. Those two children are now in university. Odds against us but we did it

Dave released an album this year called ‘We’re all alone in this together’ and it has a few which are great for storytelling and more about himself and his life

I need f**king therapy after hearing this song.

next on should definitely be “How i met my ex” from dave 🔥 and greetings from austria 🇦🇹🤝🇺🇸

It's finally happening. From the first dave reaction, this became inevitable.

one more line before a dash like morse code 🔥

Dave always brings amazing awareness to touchy subjects without it being seen forced. He’s of a kind

Also it happened the on the tube in London often you’ll see the same people every day. Dave and Lesley struck up a conversation. Each day he was getting an update.

This song makes my hair stand up and gives me goosebumps.

Dave is one of the greatest rappers ever already, the imagery he gives describing the outfit getting out of the taxi and light flashes eye gashes during the abuse is just incredible. Basing it on real stories of loved ones is amazing also

He said în a different song that Lesley was one of his relatives

not sure if anyone said yet, but I think in Drama he has a lyric where he says "I based Les off a relative"

Dave is the most gifted storytelling rapper EVER

Thanks man for having my bud Dave on here. Please check out the album We’re All Alone in This Together. Wrote it will him. This was a fun track to send to him!

Shivered for about 2 minutes. When you hear there is a sharp pain in her belly.

Been waiting for this one from the get go! Such incredible storytelling with a very important message.

I watched this on Patreon last week but it was so good I watched it again! Lol!!! Great reaction Tom!!! Very powerful track! Dave is super talented - I went to his show last week and it was amazing!!! Although I was definitely the oldest there by a good 15 years! Lol!!! Unfortunately this is based on a true story of one of Dave’s family members. He confirms this on another track on the same album when he talks about ‘breaking the fourth wall’. Dave, Fredo, Meekz, Ghetts and Giggs all performed their track, ‘In the Fire’ at the Brit Awards last month and it was an EPIC performance!!!! They’re like the UK rap Avengers - all so talented, especially Ghetts! Ghetts and Giggs are the ‘generation’ before Dave, Fredo and Meekz (could even argue Giggs is 2 generations of music before Dave) so It was great to see them all up on the stage performing, especially with a genre that would never have been on national TV even 10 years ago! Great job Tom and so pleased you enjoyed it, the message is awesome and it’s one everyone needs to hear. I agree with your comments at the beginning of the video too - you and Nick were totally meant to do this!!! Sending love guys!

Crazy story telling, U really should check out "both sides of a smile" from Dave

Really love your reactions & your calm demeanour is so refreshing. Your take on the lyrics is fascinating to me. Keep it up

So glad you’ve finally done this ❤️

Perfect album for you

oh yes, this is one hell of a song cant wait to see your reaction

Much respect 👊👊👊. Trust, Dave is in a league of his own and makes every Nigerian very proud.

yessssss!!!! Thank You. I would love to hear you react to Dave- Three Rivers. I think you would really love it and there is really so much to analyze. Love the channel, my mom is a retired therapist and psychologist and I have been showing her Dave's music as well.

Meet the singer with the most unique voice (dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones), reactors call her the goosebump queen. "Together with her tessitura, it identifies her potential voice type as dramatic contralto, the deepest, darkest, and most powerful contralto voice."

Dave has always been one of my favorite artists, a lot of his songs are so deep and real

Thanks for reacting to Dave again 🔥 I know you have reacted to his song Pyscho already, but a few songs I would recommend, if you like more of his story telling kind of songs are Question Time We're all alone in this together My 19th birthday Heart Attack Thanks for uploading this, Dave is Revered over here, and his latest single has been Number 1 in the charts for 5 weeks straight, called 'Starlight', he's a once in a lifetime artist

Bro this, this is the album you need to react to

“Let It All Work Out” - Lil Wayne is a must react

The song is actually about his family member all true and a child without a name because she couldn’t name the baby

You have to do Heart Attack by Dave. It is lyrically one of the best songs i’ve ever heard. Definitely worth the listen

If you enjoyed reacting to this I would definitely recommend Cadet - Closure This track has great storytelling and is a true story based on a previous relationship of his 👀 Another great reaction as always! 🙂

In song Drama he actually said that this story is based on one of his relatives

I just want to clarify because of one or two things I heard in the vid, men can be domestic violence victims too! I'm not trying to detract from what happens because women are statistically more likely, but it's not as much as some people might think! 1 in 4 (25%) women & 1 in 7 (~14%) of men have been victims of severe physical violence by partners!

Apparently, Lesley is based on his mother and other female family members.

React to Max Miller “Weekend”

lol ur silly, so caught up in how he came upon the story, I think its meant to be like, a girl he saw on his morning train, and he spoke to daily, or something like that, so she would become someone in the neighborhood he was familiar with, so I think the story is an accumulation of speaking with her several times,.....saying that tho, he did base off a relative, but for the stories sake, the train version is great, What an amazing track tho Am I right? This is deff one the most impressive songs, I've heard as far as story telling goes, and he does it so effortlessly, a lot of artist, strive to be able to tell a story the way Santan can, and not only that, there was a lot of word play, I'm pretty sure u noticed, cuz I saw u smile ever so slightly when they'd happen, loved the reaction, this is personally one my fav's to see reactors react too, I would give it a reaction, but I've obvi heard lol, also when u said "bro" it made me laugh haha, love it!

Ok I gotta say I love this is something different. But is there any plans whatsoever for the multiple Abstract or other suggestions that I've put on since this channel started? I thought there was some kind of list or order you guys went in but it seems clear it's more based off popularity. If then I might as well stop since there's no other Abstract fans that seem to be aware of this channel and I'm getting nowhere. Or what would be even cooler is if ya'll appreciate a great artist with uncomparable style and flow, deep/inspirational lyrics and most of all can clearly understand every word he speaks. I just don't see how anyone can sleep on such an amazing artist that's working so hard for the recognition he deserves but isn't getting. Please help me out fam and check him out so we can get more suggestions for him on here!!!
