Slicker Than Your Average Lyrics - Craig David

1 Slicker Than Your Average

2 yo craig (yeah)

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

4 tryin' to say how you're whack (what)

5 how your music's soft (what)

6 and you ain't got nothin' to say (what)

7 well it's album number two right

8 so you gotta let 'em know (that's right)

9 so do your thing (yeah)

10 take your time (yeah)

11 speak your mind (listen)

12 ever since i first stepped up

13 they thought i wasn't good enough, no

14 they told me that i'd only last one song

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

16 they said i wasn't from the streets (the streets)

17 when i was working behind the scenes

18 shit like this don't happen overnight, no no

19 while they're tellin' me

20 about my imagery

21 how i'm so squeaky clean

22 whenever i'm on tv

23 too much jealousy

24 in the industry

25 why are you watching me

26 when you should just let me be (craig)

27 (chorus)

28 slicker than your average

29 tell me what do you want from me

30 slicker than your average

31 tell me what do you want from me

32 slicker than your average, hey

33 tell me what do you want from me

34 slicker than your average

35 ooh tell me what you want from me

36 some people say it's been too long

37 that's why i'm here to prove them all wrong

38 so why do imitators wanna bite my style?eh?

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

40 you never had a problem at all

41 when i was havin' woman trouble

42 somebody fill me in didnt i serve my time?

43 remember who gave you rewind

44 now they're tellin' me

45 that i'm too r'n'b

46 how i turned my back on

47 the whole uk garage scene

48 now they're stressing me

49 when I know there's much more to see

50 why are you watching me

51 when you should just let me be (craig)

52 (chorus)

53 everywhere that i go (everywhere that i go)

54 they keep stopping my flow (they keep stopping my flow)

55 everywhere that i go (everywhere that i go)

56 they keep stopping my flow

57 yo

58 check it

59 there comes a time (there comes a time)

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

61 (as much as i like i can't possibly please everyone)

62 slicker than your average

63 singer serving garage

64 busy tryin' to slam me cos i smashed it

65 what they don't understand is

66 i'm gettin' them established

67 by takin' british music to the masses

68 now gold diggers go bananas

69 the same ones that didn't show me no love

70 when i was cashless

71 in the day when it really mattered

72 when i was pennin' competition no publishin' hits for damage (craig)

73 now to go gold to me's a minimal

74 i'm involved in the platinum plaques and records sold

75 heaven knows that iv battled producers with egos

76 and there were those that were told exactly where to go

77 somebody please stop these little kids

78 that wanna pull bumpers off my 206

79 shoutin' outside of the block i used to live

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

81 (cos im slicker)

82 (chorus)

83 everywhere that i go

84 (they be tellin' me that i can't rock the show)

85 they keep stopping my flow

86 (creepin' schemin' and screamin' tryin' to mess up my flow)

87 everywhere that i go

88 (i wanna tell the world and let them know)

89 they keep stopping my flow

90 (so tell me what you want from me oh...)

91 every way that i go (oh ho oh ho oh yeah)

92 they keep stopping my flow

93 (don't listen to 'em)

94 everywhere that i go

95 (dum dum)

96 they keep stopping my flow

97 (let 'em know, yo, we out)
