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 boxes
shit like this dont happen overnight, no no

while theyre tellin me
about my imagery
how im so squeaky clean
whenever im on tv
too much jealousy
in the industry

when you should just let me be (craig)

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 home
when i was havin woman trouble
somebody fill me in when i serve my time
remember who gave you rewind
while theyre tellin me
that im too rnb
how i turned right back up
the whole uk garage scene
then they stress me
no matter we have much more to see
why are you watching me

there comes a time (there comes a time)
when youve gotta take a step to do whats right
(as much as t like t cant possibly please everyone)

slicker than your average
single surfin gap bridge
busy tryin to slam me cos i smashed it
well they dont understand us
im hittin im established
while takin british music to the masses
the 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 the gold go to me so minimal
im involved in the platinum plaques and records sold
heaven knows that i got a producer with ego
and there were those that were told exactly where to go
somebody please stop these little kids
the one that pulled bumpers off me to assist
shoutin outside of the block i used to live
they dont like my records so why listen to this
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

they keep stopping my flow
(let em know, yo, we out)
