Yo craig (yeah)
|
there's some real jealous people out there right (uh huh)
|
tryin' to say how you're whack (what)
|
and 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
|
(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 tellin' me
|
that i'm too r'n'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 (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 T like T can't possibly please everyone)
|
|
Slicker than your average
|
Singer serving garage
|
busy tryin' to slam me cos I smashed it
|
well they don't understand us
|
I'm hittin' I'm established
|
By 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'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
|
shoutin' outside of the block I used to live
|
they don't like my records so why listen to this
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
Everywhere that I go
|
(they be tellin' me that I can't rock the show)
|
they keep stopping my flow
|
(creepin' 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
|
(don't listen to 'em)
|
everywhere that i go
|
(dum dum)
|
they keep stopping my flow
|
(let 'em know, yo, we out)
