Текст (слова) песни: David, Craig - Slicker than Your Average

Yo craig (yeah)
theres some real jealous people out there right (uh huh)
tryin to say how youre whack (what)
how your musics soft (what)
and you aint got nothin to say (what)

Well its album number two right
so you gotta let em know (thats right)
so do your thing (yeah)
take your time (yeah)
speak your mind (listen)

Ever since I first stepped up
they thought I wasnt good enough, no
they told me that Id only last one song
(thats foolish man - whats it like now? 7 million albums?)
they said I wasnt from the streets (the streets)
when I was working behind the scenes
shit like this dont happen overnight, no no

now theyre tellin me
bout my imagery

How Im so squeaky clean
whenever Im 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 its been too long
thats why Im 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 theyre tellin me
that im too rnb

How I turned my back on
the whole uk garage scene

now theyre stressin me
when I know theres 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 youve gotta take a step to do whats right
(as much as id like i cant possibly please everyone)

Slicker than your average
singer serving garage
busy tryin to slam me cos I smashed it
what they dont understand is
Im gettinthem established
by takin british music to the masses
now gold diggers go bananas
the same ones that didnt 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 mes the minimal
Im 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 dont like my records so why listen to this

[chorus]

Everywhere that I go
(they be tellin me that I cant 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
(dont listen to em)
everywhere that i go
(dum dum)
they keep stopping my flow
(let em know, yo, we out)
