Currently in My Playlist: Black by Dave

The lyrics and the flow to this song caught me hard, the words got me hooked. 
“ … Black is people naming 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 call it Slave Coast…
loud in our laughter, silent in our suffering,
Black is being strong inside the face of defeat,
poverty made me a beast, a bout with the law in the streets,
well you struggle but your struggle ain’t a struggle like me,
how could it be, when your people gave us the odds that we beat?…
Unconditional love is strange to them, it’s amazing them..”

Just a small sample of Dave’s art, by a pure artist.
Listen, nuh!
