[Chorus]
I swear, I swear
We all need a little love sometimes
I swear, you're calling me, calling me out
I swear, we all need a little love sometimes
I swear, you're calling me, calling me out

[Verse 1]
Lightey, looking like a wifey
I press the blue button and I follow that
I ain't gonna lie she a 10/10 but she ain't too peng for a follow back
And she living life like she single
But if anybody ask her she got a man
A chick saw me whippin excursion and
Now the same girl wanna holla man

[Pre-Chorus]
But please don't draw me out, I ask nicely
None of them girls they ain't wifey
And they wanna talk and talk about ex's
None of them man they ain't like me, nah
You can't draw me out, I'm too cautious
None of them girls are flawless
And they wanna talk and talk about ex's
None of them man they ain't

[Chorus]
I swear, I swear
We all need a little love sometimes
I swear, you're calling me, calling me out
I swear, we all need a little love sometimes
I swear, you're calling me, calling me out

[Verse 2]
Telling me you gotta be working
But also you gotta make time for me
If we never go where I want
Then why do girls ask what I'd like to eat
And she wanna pay when I turn around
I can't let her stand in the line for me
I smiled when she pulled out her Barclays
Sorry, it's the 419 in me

[Pre-Chorus]
But please don't draw me out, I ask nicely
None of them girls they ain't wifey
And they wanna talk and talk about ex's
None of them man they ain't like me, nah
You can't draw me out, I'm too cautious
None of them girls are flawless
And they wanna talk and talk about ex's
None of them man they ain't

[Chorus]
I swear, I swear
We all need a little love sometimes
I swear, you're calling me, calling me out
I swear, we all need a little love sometimes
I swear, you're calling me, calling me out
You're calling me, calling me out
You're calling me, calling me out
You're calling me, calling me out
You're calling me, calling me out

Representing Streatham, South London is mononymous rapper David Orobosa Omoregie (b. 5 June 1998), professionally known as Dave or Santan Dave. Impressing hugely on his Bl@ckbox debut back in May 2015, Dave carried the momentum over to clock up hits with tracks such as “JKYL+HYD,” “Thiago Silva,” and his Fire In The Booth freestyle.

Being very hands-on with his art, Dave also executively produces all of his own music, often under the name SANTAN. He is known to be a frequent collaborator with British composer and producer Fraser T. Smith as well as close friends Tyrell 169 and Kyle Evans. From young, Dave has been a classically trained pianist and has used his love for movie soundtracks to influence his beats. He cites German score producer Hans Zimmer as one of his biggest inspirations and idols.

A rapper’s rapper, Dave’s plaintive rhymes strike many chords, both beautifully righteous and jaw-droppingly raw. Diverse in his writing choice, Dave’s wordplay and flow could see him switch from conscious and emotional storytelling about his life and the world around him to party bangers about his ever-growing fame and fortune, with precision and finesse.
