Chords for Why He's No Ordinary Dave

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I have no fear, you know, I kill wasps for a living.
_ _ [G] _ _ I [Am] think it was when I turned 17 and that everything started getting a bit [Fm] more serious.
It was a [Am] bit easier for me to break through.
It's funny [D] because like when you're younger, [Bm] it's difficult for older people to listen to you.
It's hard to grasp, but it's [Am] like you have to like have crazy content matter past your age.
I just don't imagine a 25 [E] year old man listening to a 16 year old like normally.
It's just not what would happen like.
It's usually when you grow up like that's when everyone starts to [Am] get into you.
_ The more and more music that I've done, the easier it was for me to get a grasp of what
was [D] working, what wasn't, why [Bm] people react the way they do to certain things.
Like I didn't come in with a formula or anything, [Am] I saw it all happen naturally and I think
the freestyles helped me build the emotion and it helped me build a [E] genuine connection
with the people [G] that were listening to the music.
And [E] at that point for me, I didn't know anything other than [Bm] lyrics like [Am] tracks and music videos
and that all didn't concern me because I wasn't thinking about shows, radio and stuff like that.
I went out and I [D] tried to make songs with choruses and [G] stuff, but I could feel when
something was forced so I kept on [Am] doing my thing.
Fire In The Booth came after Jekyll and Hyde, which was a big song for me.
And then I linked up with [C] AJ and that's when we made the song [G] Tiago Silva.
[Abm] He DM'd me on Twitter like a girl.
[D] _ [Am] But I was feeling the tune at the time so I was happy to jump on it and did, linked
up from there.
Went to the studio one [D] time, we were meant to do a one take freestyle [Cm] and AJ was freestyling
and he [F] was like AJ from the Little [D] X Santan.
[Ebm] And then the next day we woke up, we [Am] realized, rah, we must have been on crystal meth to
do a one take [Ab] freestyle.
Forget it, let's make a new beat for it.
And it ended up [B] Tiago Silva came about.
And [G] yeah.
_ Pie Pipe was a sick beat.
[Am] The refix of it was sick as well, but it's something to look at as inspiration, but [D] not
something to go back to.
[Bm] If I am going to take from something, I'm going to take it, put your own spin on it,
make it [Am] current.
Because as much as it's sick and it was sick at its time, I can't really listen to old music now.
[G] But those [Ab] melodies and the instrumentals back in those [E] grime days are special.
These are the foundations for what we have [Am] today.
So you have to give thanks to the guys that made them. _
[D] I saw Scroofer's made nutty violins as well.
Crazy. _ _
Like, [F] give them a knighthood or something because the instrumentals are vital in your childhood life.
_ [C] It kind of helped growing from freestyles to tracks because [G] once you can write lyrics,
you don't forget how to write [E] lyrics.
There's a lot of people out there that can make chorus after chorus after [C] chorus.
Then when it comes to actually saying something or proving who they are or going on freestyles
and stuff like that and [D] connecting with people, it's kind of like they don't have it.
Coming from freestyles, I know that, whoa, yeah, there's bars here, bars [C] there, bars
here, and I can put them in a track here.
I can put this chorus there.
It's [Cm] easier for me to understand the [G] world of music now.
At first, I _ made music just to express [Am] myself.
A lot of stuff was going on at the time.
So it was like I kind of needed to make it.
It was therapeutic.
Now, [D] I kind of make it because it's fun. _
_ [Bm] There's a lot of pressure.
[Am] You can't let the pressure get to you.
You've got to remember why you do it.
Yeah, I make it because it's fun. _
[G] It's just like I don't know what I'd be doing if I wasn't.
I'm not coming [E] at it from the normal angle of [B] like, oh, rapping, making [Am] music, here to
make a couple sick choruses, have an album, and then disappear.
I'm here for every single [D] aspect of the music.
I'm here for the [C] instrumentals, for the production.
I'm here for the vocals.
I'm here for the live [Bm] acoustic [Am] sessions.
I'm here to learn new instruments.
I'm here to score soundtracks and do everything possible in the entire music world [G] and not just rap.
A lot sort of started from me sitting here and rapping lyrics.
I look [Am] back at it sometimes and I just think, you know, all of us, me and my friends, family,
all come so [G] far in the nine or so months [D] that it's been since I recorded it.
This is the one running theme that I kind of have in my videos, the sort of [Am] sitting
down and delivering lyrics [E] from a staircase.
It all kind of started from my love of [C] this [G] scene in particular.
I have this _ [N] complex where I can't [Am] stand to see myself second best and _ [N] everyone else around
me is doing it.
And they're pushing [Gm] boundaries and they're making [N] sick choruses.
They're pushing the boundaries with metaphors, lyrics.
I know that I have [Am] the potential in my head to do this, so it's time for me to go out
and [E] prove it.
It's like every time that I do music and I make it better than the last thing, it's [G] rewarding.
So yeah, I just [N] want to be remembered as just [F] someone that's _ [Am] game-changing.
_ [F] _
I'm trying.
It's difficult, but I hope [G] that I do get there. _ _ _ _ _ _
