Slicker Than Your Average Lyrics - Slicker Than Your Average - 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 the scenes 

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) 

(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? eh? 

(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 stressing 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 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 a minimal 

i'm involved in the platinum plaques and records sold 

heaven knows that iv battled producers with egos 

and there were those that were told exactly where to go 

somebody please stop these little kids 

that 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 

(cos im slicker) 

(chorus) 

everywhere that i go 

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

they keep stopping my flow 

(creepin' schemin' and screamin' 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 oh...) 

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)
