About Psycho
“Psycho” serves as the intro to Dave’s debut album, Psychodrama. The track, which is produced by frequent collaborator Fraser T Smith, sees Dave speak on the issues surrounding him, varying from pain to insecurities—the song emulates a therapy session and ties in with the overall theme of Psychodrama being a “year-long course of therapy.” The song could be split into two parts, which would couple together and illustrate the “manic depression”—commonly .
Psycho Lyrics
[00:00.38] Tuesday, 23rd of January, 2018
[00:07.94] I'm here with David
[00:10.78] This is our first session
[00:13.42] We're just gonna talk about your background
[00:16.65] Where you're from, any issues you've been dealing with
[00:21.56] So, where should we start?
[00:26.51] Look
[00:28.45] Stop all the pain
[00:30.45] How do you stop all the pain, huh?
[00:32.83] I used to hear a voice when I was praying
[00:34.98] But nowadays, I don't even wanna be saved
[00:37.34] Nah, fuck that, I don't wanna be saved
[00:40.00] I was born to be wild and I don't wanna be tamed
[00:42.42] Talent's in my blood and I don't wanna be vain
[00:44.84] But if I'm a psycho, then I don't wanna be sane
[00:47.48] I used to dream of this shit when I was hopping on train
[00:50.15] So, so bad, I used to want all the fame
[00:52.83] My ex-girl want to shoot a cover for Vogue
[00:55.23] Which is pretty ironic 'cause she's top of the range
[00:57.98] If any one of you take a shot on a track
[01:00.55] My niggas come back and put a shot in your frame
[01:04.45] Easy as the alphabet
[01:05.87] Three G's in the ring, call me Alvarez
[01:08.42] My teacher used to say I need counseling
[01:10.71] Couldn't stop asking me, "What do you feel?"
[01:13.31] There's so many old scars that they wanna reveal
[01:15.64] We got off on the wrong foot 'cause I don't want him to heal, nah
[01:18.56] But if you're looking for a psycho, you got one
[01:21.12] I thought I had a screw loose but I lost one
[01:23.32] 99 problems, money, it is not one
[01:26.03] My currency's Kenyan, that's in it for the long run, huh
[01:29.81] Tears on a pillow
[01:31.07] Bro, I shed so many tears on a pillow
[01:33.72] I used to tell my teachers that nobody gets it
[01:36.23] I don't know Clarke but I know that I'm a Kidult
[01:38.53] 'Cause my mummy ain't been home, miss thinks I'm involved
[01:41.28] Blame my environment, it made me a sicko
[01:43.85] Furthermore, I should bring that bitch down to Streatham
[01:46.39] And then make her spend a day in a veil like a widow
[01:48.84] Kiddo, we seen swords longer than a limo
[01:51.29] My bros are blacksmiths like Jaden and Willow
[01:53.77] Man, there's weapons over here, we're reppin' over here
[01:56.48] We're from the Southside but it's Streatham over here
[01:59.08] No telling if you're selling, hold the wettin' here
[02:01.40] Get him over here, who the fuck is checkin' over here?
[02:04.03] Most my niggas are the ones applying pressure over here
[02:06.47] Fuck assault, I can get a nigga peppered over here, whoa
[02:09.46] We wanted more, then some food on the strip or moving a brick
[02:12.66] My niggas went to school with the rich and we were broke
[02:14.91] Hiding crow in a Rubicon drink, which is funny
[02:17.54] 'Cause that's how we put food in the fridge
[02:19.22] So, who am I?
[02:20.57] Someone tryna live his best life
[02:22.11] I just wanna take a pretty woman for a test drive
[02:24.85] If I bring her to my room and I press, I
[02:27.38] Guarantee she gonna see the force like a ex-wife
[02:30.03] People tell me I'm a little bit barmy
[02:32.29] For my army, I need a bottle of Bacardi
[02:34.75] If it's me and a pouch with my dargy
[02:37.47] Shawty, you're seeing two stars in the party
[02:40.32] Fuck what you heard
[02:41.98] I'm a pop boy and I ain't giving man a turn
[02:44.37] I don't wanna know and pretty woman wanna flirt
[02:46.99] Learned you can judge a nigga by the women that he curves
[02:49.51] I love this game, I ain't lost focus
[02:52.10] I'm a hitmaker, if you ever noticed
[02:54.62] I could be the rapper with the message like you're hoping
[02:57.19] But what's the point in me being the best if no one knows it?
[02:59.66] Brother I'm a careful, humble, reckless, arrogant, extravagant
[03:03.92] Nigga probably battlin' with manic depression
[03:06.73] Man, I think I'm going mad again
[03:08.35] It's like I'm happy for a second then I'm sad again
[03:10.60] And to my fans, the reason I could get to this
[03:13.31] You're my drug, the instrumental my therapist
[03:15.84] Man, I need some therapy
[03:17.10] My girl saying that she'll never leave
[03:19.14] I'm scared she gonna find a better me
[03:20.82] Deeper insecurities, like
[03:23.07] What if I don't leave a legacy?
[03:24.71] Money, why they check for me?
[03:26.03] Mummy lost respect for me
[03:28.02] I wish that we could be together but that ain't how life works
[03:30.93] I used to cry about my dad until my fucking eyes burnt
[03:33.41] Nose running, you don't know nothing
[03:35.44] Before I put a penny on the table, I provided for my family
[03:38.78] Held my mother's hand through the agony, hey
[03:41.30] You ever fall 'sleep 'cause you don't wanna be awake?
[03:43.88] In a way, you're tired of the reality you face?
[03:46.28] If you're thinking 'bout doing it
[03:47.65] Suicide doesn't stop the pain, you're only moving it
[03:50.44] Lives that you're ruining
[03:51.69] Thoughts of a world without you in it, hiding
[03:54.84] I ain't psycho but my life is
[03:56.78]
