Craig David - Slicker Than Your Average lyrics

Yo Craig (yeah)
There's some real jealous people out there
Right (Uh, huh)
Trying to say how you're whack (What?)
How your music's soft
And you ain't got nothing to say
(What? What?)
Well it's album #2, right? (yeah)
So you gotta let 'em know (That's right)
So do your thing, take your time
Speak your mind (yeah, yeah 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
Sevel million albums? Ha
They said I wasn't from the streets
(The streets)
When I was workin' 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?)

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
So tell me what you want from me

Some people say it's been too long (Too long)
That's why I'm here to prove them all wrong
So why do imitators want to 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 didn't I serve my time?
Remember who gave you "Rewind"?

While they're telling me that I'm too R&B
(How I turned right back up
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?)

Slicker than your average (Oh)
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
So 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)

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 trying to slam me cause I smashed it
Well they don't understand us, I'm hitting
I'm established
By taking 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
Publishing hit's for damage
Now the gold go to me, so minimal
I'm involved in the platinum
Plaques and records sold
Heaven knows that I've battle
Producer with ego
And there were those that were
Told exactly where to go
Somebody please stop these little kids
They wanna pull bumpers off my 2-0-6
Shouting 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, hey
Tell me, what do you want from me?
Slicker than your average
So tell me what you want from me

Everywhere that I go
(They be tellin' me that I
Can't rap for 'sho)
Slicker than your average
They keep stopping my flow
(People screamin', they screamin'
Tryna mess up my flow)
Slicker than your average
Everywhere that I go
(I wanna tell the world and let them know)
Slicker than your average
They keep stopping my flow
(So tell me what you want from me)
Slicker than your average
Everywhere that I go (Oh, oh, oh)
They keep stopping my flow
(Don't listen to 'em)
They keep stopping my flow
They keep stopping my flow (yeah, yeah)
