About This Track

Dave and MoStack trade verses over Steel Banglez production on this track from the 2017 EP 'Game Over', the refusal to reconcile stated plainly in the hook. Dave raps that he doesn't want to settle disputes or hear explanations, a posture of uninterest rather than escalation. The chorus repeats the same four lines twice, the bluntness doing the work. MoStack's first verse shifts between money, violence held at a distance, and fleeting encounters with women. Dave's verse later mocks online posturing, contrasting Instagram performance with mundane reality, before the song returns to its central theme of avoidance. The bridge acknowledges financial independence and romantic attention as recurring facts, the repetition mirroring the chorus structure. The track appeared as one of two singles supporting the EP, which debuted at number thirteen on the UK Albums Chart. The production stays minimal, allowing the back-and-forth to sit forward in the mix.

"No Words" is a track by Dave, from the album Game Over, released 3rd November 2017. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 14 articles about Dave.

Lyrics

No Words

[Intro: Dave]

I don't wanna dead no

I don't wanna sort it

I don't wanna, I don't wanna

I don't wanna (Steel Banglez)

[Chorus: Dave]

I don't wanna dead no beef

I don't wanna sort it out

I don't wanna hear no words

I don't wanna talk it out

I don't wanna dead no beef

I don't wanna sort it out

I don't wanna hear no words

I don't wanna talk it out

[Verse 1: MoStack]

I don't wanna talk 'bout the ins and outs

But in my bank, more money goes in than out

So I had to 'low the paigon, allow the baitin'

If I touch you, I'll bet you my house gets raided

I'm with some dumb yutes that'll blaze for cussin'

Don't raise their yute, but they will raise the somethin'

And I like my car with the roof off

I like my girl in Louboutin

But sometimes I'm with the duttiest girls

'Cause those are the easy ones

But too bad they only see me once

'Cause we one-night them

I wonder why we don't like them

All this money I spend, 'cause I

[Chorus: Dave]

I don't wanna dead no beef

I don't wanna sort it out

I don't wanna hear no words

I don't wanna talk it out

I don't wanna dead no beef

I don't wanna sort it out

I don't wanna hear no words

[Bridge: Dave & MoStack]

'Cause I'm self-made, self-paid

Girls wanna phone for a friend

Over and over again

Over and over and over again

Self-made, self-paid

Girls wanna phone for a friend

Over and over again

Over and over and over again (Uh)

[Verse 2: MoStack & Dave]

Not again, oh my days

Another girl with her sly ways

And why's this girl movin' sideways?

Every time my iPhone ping, she's looking at it sideways

I need a gyal that rubs back and gives massages

Not a gyal that backchats and sends messages

Saying she hates me, then loves me

Says, "Fuck you," then fucks me (Yo)

[Verse 3: Dave]

Walk in a party, standard

Where's your army? Where's your mandem?

On Insta, sittin' in a mad whip

In traffic, man are looking like a catfish

Fake yutes, plastic

Stop acting, man are all average

My girl got a body bombastic

Elastic, call her Mrs. Fantastic

[Bridge: MoStack]

Like oh, pull up in a car, I cruise

Hopped out cool, nice move

Why she wanna know? When I said I'm with a star

She just turned around and she said, "Who?"

Took her home with us, that's standard

She wanna roll with us, that's standard

Niggas gettin' paid, that's standard

This Mo and Dave, that's bangers

[Chorus: Dave]

I don't wanna dead no beef

I don't wanna sort it out

I don't wanna hear no words

I don't wanna talk it out

I don't wanna dead no beef

I don't wanna sort it out

I don't wanna hear no words

I don't wanna talk it out
