Biography

Born: May 5, 1981, Southampton, Hampshire, England Soulful vocalist whose early releases were a defining factor in the UK garage sound. More recently he has been moving towards a standard RNB style. David was born in Holyrood, Southampton, Hampshire, the son of Tina (née Loftus), a retail assistant at Superdrug, and George David, a carpenter. David's father is a Grenadian and David's mother is an English Jew related to the founders of the Accurist watch-making company; David's maternal grandfather was an Orthodox Jew and his maternal grandmother a convert to Judaism. David's parents separated when he was eight and he was raised by his mother. He attended Bellemoor School. David's father played bass in a reggae band called Ebony Rockers. As a teen, David began accompanying his father to local dance clubs, where DJs let him take the microphone. David's earliest exposure came when he worked on a b-side to British group Damage's cover of "Wonderful Tonight". He then started doing vocals for a few tracks with garage act Artful Dodger. The song "Re-Rewind", from the Artful Dodger album It's All About the Stragglers, hit Number 2 on the UK charts in 1999; thus, paving the way for a solo career. David's first single, "Fill Me In", released on Colin Lester's and Ian McAndrew's Wildstar Records made him the youngest solo male artist ever to reach Number 1 in the United Kingdom (he was 18 years old at the time). This was the first of a string of four Top 10 singles from his debut album Born To Do It, which eventually sold more than seven million units worldwide, earning multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries. The song "Key To My Heart", taken from the US version of the album, was also featured on the award-winning Warner Brothers animated film Osmosis Jones.

Ignorants, Craig David, We back
Oooh wooooh woooh, yeah c'mon

Verse

{Verse one}
Girl you were my everything but you wouldn't realize
That your friends were sittin talking bout me
Filling up your head with lies
And for all the things I've done for you
Only was a pretty size
And when you touching to the understanding that
I'm nothing like them other guys

{Pre-chorus}
Girl it's plain to see you are now meant to be
You were the best thing in my life, in my life yeah
Now it's time to go, sorry to tell you so
I'm tired of all the games.. that you play with me

I'm walking away
Why you blowing up my telephone?
It's the type of {bitch} you know that can't get down
Checking all the battle that I be giving you on, you crazy
I'm walking away
I'ma tell you how the story ends
Can you buy my car you can have your friends
And there's nothing that there's left to say, baby

Baby

{Verse two}
You're the only one in my life
You're the only one in my dreams
Don't let your friends get in between
And now we falling apart at the seams
It's never good to turn and walk away
When you're having troubles in your life
The reminds of the discussions
Is the only way to make it right

{Pre-chorus}

{Verse three}
I'm walking away, from all the troubles in my life
I'm walking away, girl cus you didn't treat me right
I'm walking away, to find somebody new
Somebody not like you
So don't {fuck} up at it too, cus, yeah baby

(Remix)

{Trell}
I don't care if you got pretty hair and nice clothes
And I ain't seen a pretty pair just like those
And your friends seam to think I'm dealing with any hoes
Cus I'm in the studio or doing to many shows, that's no
You out faster than that mood you in
I mean NO.. V.I.P just for you and a friend
I mean NO.. C.O.K no drop BM
I just kick it to the curb wit yo OTM
You can run up in the club that's if they lettin you in
Or I be in so many women so let the sweating begin
I make your friends think; I know what you're seeing in him
(He says it fatter then your father then you're seeing in gym)
We, hmmm, Craig David and recording and stir
How can you knock that young glad cultrepreneur
You betta {fuckin} think up some or I'm leaving wit her
Ignorants's production at the street-affair
And eeeh

Why you blowing up my telephone
I'm the typa brotha you know that I can get down
