Lyrics of 'My 24th Birthday' by Dave

I spent my 24th birthday with the people I love
For the diamonds, gotta see through the dust
God, I know I ain't easy to love
I just wish that Abdulla could've seen what we done
I retired my mum, moved out with my friends
That's where the problems start, that it ain't where it ends
How many single mums sacrifice it all for their kids?
Stopped workin’, feel they haven't got a reason to live
I believe that God fed the five thousand with the bread and the fish
'Cah I seen Mummy do some similar things
It can help you or harm you
Depends on how you usin' the rope
How are we in the wrong for supplyin' drugs?
The government's the reason that we use 'em to cope
I made friends with a flame, and I'm used to the smoke, yeah
When we never had a thing, we still split in half
It's the people with the least that got the biggest hearts
One of a kind, true love, it ain't just somethin' you find
A good girl, it ain't just somethin' you find
I get along with gold diggers, and that's somethin' I find
But it's probably 'cah now I got more money than time
My friends say they worry 'bout me, I just tell 'em, I'm fine
I took a look in the mirror, and now I wish I was blind
Is she the love of my life or in love with the life?
Backstabber, see the blood on your knife
My mum covered me in blood, but it was comin' from Christ
Disaronno on the rocks, I pour a double with ice
I take trips to wind down, I ain't readin' at night
The only time I touch books when I'm seekin' a flight
Can you hear me? Let me speak in the mic
God, I know I ain't easy to like, but still I'm seekin' the light
I spent a quarter million on renovatin' my house
And couldn't even live in it 'cause they was stakin' it out
Tracker in my car, felt like 007

Whipped the Aston out of park, I knew his energy was dark
Livin' out the Carinthia, didn't even have a yard
But that's where I met my teacher, and I learned to play guitar
Guess it's written in the stars, life comes at you fast
Squeeze the Urus in a convoy of cars
We got it on us, you ain’t even gotta ask
Don't trouble us, fame comes quicker than money does
Salmon pink suit, I'm like De Niro in Casino
Life gave me lemons, I gave you a branzino, and I seasoned it
Me and Drake, we're in a private room, reasonin'
He’s been always there when I needed him
Listen, I'm the reason why your dream girls all wiggle their asses
Drink wine, but don't finish their glasses, snap pics in Bahamas
Sniper, do it in silence, I ain't in all the drama
In this town I got the crown, but I ain't been in a plaza
Fuckin' crosses, teams on conspiracy charges
Gardens laid out in astro', I ain't dealin' with grasses
Fuck a snitch, got my guys remanded
Life of an artist, pretty women, triple-A passes
Slim thick, skin slick, I mean it's comin' like it's oil she bathe in
See the harvest, see the seeds I planted
There's a drought in the ends, I'm in Cali' with a ting
I'll end up postin' a pack like I was snappin' in the gym
Check my records, you can bang it on the wing
I lost friends, but it's my innocence I miss
I guess ignorance is bliss
I ain't braggin', only rap about a fraction of my sins
My young Gs don't count a stabbin' if it happened in his limbs
The world is my fuckin' office, book her a trip to the tropics
I'm feelin' philanthropic, nigga, that's a different topic
The GMT and EST, they're gonna think I'm foreign
Different timezones and that's the way I gotta pick my watches
Streatham Ville, but you could say I live in Gotham
Way I take the Birkin and I kill a crocket, you can see the little locket
Bro, it ain't no wonder why she finna top it
Look, I ain't a striker, I'm a cam’ becah’ it's in the pockets
Tell 'em to miss me
Never signed a deal, you niggas hatin' on history, and I took the ends with me
That eight-figure check wasn't enough to convince me
But that's the only time I turned my back on a sixteen
Life is a game, you can't play it in split-screen
Mm-mm
God hasn't given me a test I couldn't handle yet
I don't ever bother tryna match it when the scammers flex
Give us somethin' money can't buy, and that's the challenge next
