[00:21.38]Ever since I first stepped up
[00:25.47]They thought I wasn't good enough, no
[00:30.55]They told me that I'd only last one song
[00:35.31](That's foolish man - what's it like now? 7 million albums?)
[00:39.95]They said I wasn't from the streets (the streets)
[00:44.62]When I was working behind boxes
[00:49.40]Shit like this don't happen overnight, no no
[00:56.83]
[00:57.12]While they're tellin' me
[00:59.44]About my imagery
[01:02.07]How I'm so squeaky clean
[01:04.15]Whenever I'm on tv
[01:06.48]Too much jealousy
[01:08.87]In the industry

[01:45.51]So why do imitators wanna bite my style
[01:50.22](Ladies and gentlemen, will the real craig david please stand up?)
[01:54.98]You never had a problem at home

[02:04.07]Somebody fill me in when I serve my time
[02:10.12]Remember who gave you rewind
[02:12.04]While they're tellin' me
[02:14.50]That I'm too r'n'b
[02:16.80]How I turned right back up
[02:19.08]The whole uk garage scene
[02:21.37]Then they stress me
[02:23.37]No matter we have much more to see
[02:26.14]Why are you watching me
[02:28.42]When you should just let me be (craig)
[02:50.30]Everywhere that I go (everywhere that I go)
[02:54.56]They keep stopping my flow (they keep stopping my flow)

[03:34.01]I'm hittin' I'm established
[03:35.07]While takin' british music to the masses
[03:36.87]The gold diggers go bananas
[03:38.68]The same ones that didn't show me no love
[03:40.66]When I was cashless
[03:41.52]In the day when it really mattered
[03:43.32]When I was pennin' competition no publishin' hits for damage (craig)
[03:46.50]Now the gold go to me so minimal
[03:48.40]I'm involved in the platinum plaques and records sold
[03:50.75]Heaven knows that I got a producer with ego
[03:52.96]And there were those that were told exactly where to go
[03:55.57]Somebody please stop these little kids
[03:57.92]The one that pulled bumpers off me to assist
[04:00.28]Shoutin' outside of the block I used to live
[04:02.44]They don't like my records so why listen to this
[04:23.79]Everywhere that I go
[04:25.60](They be tellin' me that I can't rock the show)
[04:28.24]They keep stopping my flow
