Slicker Than Your Average - Craig David
Yo craig yeah
There's some real jealous people
out there right
Tryin to say how you're whack
How your music's soft
And you ain't got nothin to say
Well it's album number two right
So you gotta let em know
So do your thing
Take your time
Speak your mind
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
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
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
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
When you've gotta take a step
to do what's right
As much as T like
I 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
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
Everyway that I go
They keep stopping my flow
Everywhere that I go
They keep stopping my flow
