Craig David

Craig David - Slicker Than Your Average Lyrics lyrics

rate me

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 the scenes

shit like this don't happen overnight, no no

now they're tellin' me

'bout 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)

[chorus]

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 all

when I was havin' woman trouble

somebody fill me in didnt I serve my time

remember who gave you rewind

now they're tellin' me

that i'm too r'n'b

How I turned my back on

the whole uk garage scene

now they're stressin me

when I know there's much more to see

Why are you watching me

when you should just let me be (craig)

[chorus]

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 i'd like i can't possibly please everyone)

Slicker than your average

singer serving garage

busy tryin' to slam me cos I smashed it

what they don't understand is

I'm gettin'them established

by takin' british music to the masses

now 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 to go gold to me's the minimal

I'm involved in these platinum plaques and records solds

heaven knows that I battled producers with egos

and there were those that were told exactly where to go

somebody please stop these little kids

they wanna pull bumpers off my 206

shoutin' outside of the block I used to live

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

[chorus]

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)
