Craig David - Slicker Than Your Average

Yo craig (yeah)

There's some real jealous people out there right (uh huh)

Tryin' to say how you're whack (what)

How your music's soft (what)

And you ain't got nothin' to say (what)

Well it's album number two right

So you gotta let 'em know (that's right)

So do your thing (yeah)

Take your time (yeah)

Speak your mind (listen)

Ever since I first stepped up

They thought I wasn't good enough, no

They told me that I'd only last one song

(That's foolish man - what's it like now? 7 million albums?)

They said I wasn't from the streets (the streets)

When I was working behind boxes

Shit like this don't happen overnight, no no

While they're tellin' me

About my imagery

How I'm so squeaky clean

Whenever I'm on tv

Too much jealousy

In the industry

Why are you watching me

When you should just let me be (craig)

Slicker than your average

Tell me what do you want from me

Slicker than your average

Tell me what do you want from me

Slicker than your average, hey

Tell me what do you want from me

Slicker than your average

Ooh tell me what you want from me

Some people say it's been too long

That's why I'm here to prove them all wrong

So why do imitators wanna bite my style

(Ladies and gentlemen, will the real craig david please stand up?)

You never had a problem at home

When I was havin' woman trouble

Somebody fill me in when I serve my time

Remember who gave you rewind

While they're tellin' me

That I'm too r'n'b

How I turned right back up

The whole uk garage scene

Then they stress me

No matter we have much more to see

Why are you watching me

When you should just let me be (craig)

Slicker than your average

Tell me what do you want from me

Slicker than your average

Tell me what do you want from me

Slicker than your average, hey

Tell me what do you want from me

Slicker than your average

Ooh tell me what you want from me

Everywhere that I go (everywhere that I go)

They keep stopping my flow (they keep stopping my flow)

Everywhere that I go (everywhere that I go)

They keep stopping my flow

Yo

Check it

There comes a time (there comes a time)

When you've gotta take a step to do what's right

(As much as T like T can't possibly please everyone)

Slicker than your average

Single surfin' gap bridge

Busy tryin' to slam me cos I smashed it

Well they don't understand us

I'm hittin' I'm established

While takin' british music to the masses

The gold diggers go bananas

The same ones that didn't show me no love

When I was cashless

In the day when it really mattered

When I was pennin' competition no publishin' hits for damage (craig)

Now the gold go to me so minimal

I'm involved in the platinum plaques and records sold

Heaven knows that I got a producer with ego

And there were those that were told exactly where to go

Somebody please stop these little kids

The one that pulled bumpers off me to assist

Shoutin' outside of the block I used to live

They don't like my records so why listen to this

Slicker than your average

Tell me what do you want from me

Slicker than your average

Tell me what do you want from me

Slicker than your average, hey

Tell me what do you want from me

Slicker than your average

Ooh tell me what you want from me

Everywhere that I go

(They be tellin' me that I can't rock the show)

They keep stopping my flow

(Freakin' schemin' and schemin' tryin' to mess up my flow)

Everywhere that I go

(I wanna tell the world and let them know)

They keep stopping my flow

(So tell me what you want from me)

Every way that I go (oh ho oh ho oh yeah)

They keep stopping my flow

(Don't listen to 'em)

Everywhere that i go

(Dum dum)

They keep stopping my flow

(Let 'em know, yo, we out)
