This hard

Omg wow i love it is really strong.

He’s not American lol. What the fuck is he talking about?

Black is beautiful ❤️

This my brother for real. US rocking with you Dave

where's Dave's accent from?

Does somebody know where his black Jeans with the pink/white graph is from?

3:08 never thought id see modie and jamie laughing together

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

Took me seven minutes to listen to a three minute song.

Don't understand, why this has less views then some child gambino.
Really good!

Modie bruv

Fuck the racists we are equal

2:59 top boy mandem

Nigeria representer 🇳🇬🌎

Stepping in for your mother when your fathers gone really hits deep

This should be promoted in london...now this killings going on man...the songs that inspire doesn't get enough buh the booms get overdue recognition

Brown skin,black skin,what's next

This song should be a world wide song...it should be promoted in football on every brand tbh..who agrees

2:58 Jamie and Kit I see you

The recent racist events in Portugal has brought me here to this video today. Dave, this track’s power goes beyond the UK and US... Tune in and see what’s happening :(

This man should be given a noble peace prize, legend

We need more music like this.

"Unconditional love is strange to them"...

THIS IS A WHOLE ANTHEM
👏🏿🖤🙌🏿✊🏿🌻

Beautiful song and video. Much love from the US. Protect this man.

So many of these bars hit home hard but for me
"black is growing up around your family and making it, but being forced to leave the place you love because there's hate in it"
Hits deep and again is another quality bar. Having to leave somewhere you love as there's hate in it. 🔥🔥🔥

pure poetry <3

Incredible! Easily on par with the J.Coles & Kendricks....UK is doing it right now

Deep shit listening as I'm rolling to work, true facts.

Song was obviously not made for me it's quite eye-opening and opens empathy. I assume that's the main point Dave went for. Every line is perfectly written

Song of the year 🔥🔥

im learning black history at school and we dont learn half of this it makes me sad tbh bc as a black girl i sometimes feel i dont belong in this country

Maaaan this song gives me goosebumps and i ain't even black! We all bleed the same. This man deserves a grammy award!

pity party anthem of the year

your not listening to the song right ? your judging it by it’s just “black”

Dave I wanna be like you bro. You soo good at ryming. How do you ryme whiles telling a story 😮

Dude makes tunes you wish would never end he could change the format of his music to 5 verses 6 hooks infact no hooks just gaps between verses like this tune

This the realest song like niggas die for this shit man respect my nigga
BIG UP UK

Black/Brown empowerment - a lot of knowledge in this , keep it up!

Wow bro keep this up elevate our youth and our people...

No Words bruv!!!!!! Dat shit was FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dave is a Red... Manchester United fan 🙌

People aren’t getting the image, how is this racist 🤦🏾‍♂️ racism is thinking one race is more supreme then the other or hating on someone juss because of their race. Every now and then I have to revisit this song so I always remember my roots🙏🏽

Dave is real man

some motivation shit here

How has this got 3.4k dislikes

0:16 48yr old rapper in a 14yr old kids body

I feel this ART ❤️❤️❤️

WOW! Dave....! 👌👌👌👌🎶

This track was like a boxing match I felt every punch he threw at me, while I related to every word he said and remained proud to be BLACK in everything that black is.

I've never been this proud of my skin color......way to go Dave

Dave vs skepta vs stormzy

This song is for asian peeps aswell. Brother dave is speaking for everyone!

it's called black not Asian lol

@JΛMΛ yes and if your not caucasian in england you will face negativity of some sort due to not being caucasian

This song is very deep and his lyrics reminds me of Tupac - keep ya head up

im not black and nobody gives a fuck

So damn deep!!!

white people deffo disliked the video

Why the universe is black ? Why the first man was black ? Do you gonna trust me if i tell you the trees, ocean and sky are black ?

Black is all I know and there is nothing I would change in it Rar 👍🏽🙏🏽

Black people will feel this song more then anyother race, becouse we live it, on a day to day. Its hard to be at the top when your black, it sad but true.

Its ture , u do have to prove your self more if your black .

My brotha SALUTE to you from Oakland , Ca USA 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Subbed!

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

Ok modie.

How is this album not nominated for Rap Album of theYear for the Grammys

Damn.

Wish you success my brother, you are very gifted.

From Canada.

i’m here from mattia’s playlist

Black is working twice as hard as people you're better than 🔥🔥🔥🔥⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

Awesome song

fuck, this is hard, I am embarrassed it took me a year to hear this song.

I’m white and racism makes me feel embarrassed to be white and I agree with him about every single word he says

Absolute legend

It’s not being white that makes you racist, it’s being a bad person that makes you racist.

“Representing counties that didn’t exist when you grandmother was born”

Man said he met sterling tho

"If hes white give him a chance hes ill and confused but if hes black hes probably armed you see u shoot"that hit hard even tho im mixed race but i felt it hard

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