Artist: Jodeci
Album: The Past, The Present, The Future (2015)
If Boyz II Men were portrayed as a clean-cut, wholesome R&B vocal group, then Jodeci's wild, sexual, bad-boy image represented the other side of the coin. Made up of two sets of brothers, the group's name was a consolidation of its members' names: Joel "JoJo" Hailey, Donald "DeVante Swing" and Dalvin DeGrate, and Cedric "K-Ci" Hailey.
Natives of Charlotte, North Carolina, all four members toured the South as young boys singing gospel music, and even recorded albums. Both families belonged to the Pentecostal church, and the DeGrates' father was a minister.
The boys were able to hear each other's gospel songs played on the radio, and were eventually introduced through girlfriends as teenagers. However, when they did meet, K-Ci was with a girl Dalvin had been dating, and a fight nearly broke out.
The Hailey brothers and DeVante started hanging out together, partying, and talking about making R&B records together, coming up with the name Jodeci at this time.
At age 16, DeVante ran away to Minneapolis to get a job in Prince's organization, but was refused. He returned to Charlotte, where he wrote a song and recorded JoJo singing it. The two planned on going to New York to shop the demo, but both K-Ci and Dalvin decided to tag along at the last minute.
By the time they got to New York, they had demo recordings of 29 songs, which they brought to the offices of Uptown Entertainment. They were almost rejected, but rapper Heavy D overheard the tape and talked Uptown president Andre Harrell into hearing the group.
Harrell was impressed, and just like that, Jodeci signed a recording contract.
In May 1991, they released Forever My Lady, which featured the gold single "Come and Talk to Me" and went on to sell over three million copies.
A minor feud resulted over the band's follow-up album, Diary of a Mad Band; Jodeci, unhappy with their treatment by Uptown, flirted with the idea of leaving for Dr. Dre's Death Row Records, which resulted in almost zero promotion for their new album. It didn't matter much, as Diary eventually went double platinum.
The group's personal troubles got worse in 1993, when DeVante and K-Ci pleaded guilty to gun violations and sexual assault charges, but that wasn't all; shortly afterward, DeVante's house was robbed of over 160,000 dollars in jewelry and clothes as the singer was held with guns in his mouth and at the back of his head.
Jodeci's third album, The Show, The After Party, The Hotel, was released in July 1995. As with the group's first two albums, it topped Billboard's R&B chart and went platinum. DeVante was afforded the opportunity to work with Al Green, one of his idols, and wrote and produced the song "Could This Be the Love." More significantly, his Swing Mob collective directly and indirectly fostered the rise of such acts and producers as Sista, Mad Skillz, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Playa, Ginuwine, Aaliyah, and Tweet. K-Ci and JoJo, who had contributed hits as a duo to the soundtracks of Jason's Lyric and Bulletproof, scored a trio of Top Ten R&B hits during the tail-end of the decade and the early 2000s.
A solo album from Dalvin, Met.A.Mor.Phic, was released on Maverick in 2000 but didn't fare well commercially.
During the remainder of the 2000s and the early 2010s, the members of Jodeci were relatively quiet. Over a decade separated K-Ci & JoJo's fourth and fifth albums, Emotional (2002) and My Brother's Keeper (2013), the latter of which followed a reality series for TV One.
In January 2014, Timbaland revealed that he was working with Jodeci on material for the group's fourth album.
When The Past, The Present, The Future was released on RCA in March 2015, it contained a pair of tracks co-produced by Timbaland and DeVante, while the latter also co-produced the remainder of the tracks with the likes of Bradd Young and Marquinarias "Sanchez" Holmes.

You can see it in her eyes, baby got that fire
Pretty face like Lauren, body like mine
I hit her with the stud pass and I'ma ride it
Hit her good, have her screamin' high notes like Mariah
Hold up, and watch her shut it down, say watch her shut it down
These other hoes know they gotta go when she come around
Say my name, say my name so I know it's me
You got a nigga feenin' like Jodeci, turn up
All my niggas know, when she hits the floor
That she steals the show
All my niggas know, when she hits the door
That girl has to go
[Chorus:]
Too hot, she's hot, melt, sex, too hot
Too hot, she's hot, gets all of that
Too hot, she's hot, that's a fact
Too hot, she's hot, that's that

Every day and night, yeah when we cut
Gon' need a hose, a fire truck
You know she's ready and she's just ready enough
We blaze it up, we burns it down
Her body hot, I cool it down

I say baby you a bad bitch, excuse my language
And girl that dress so tight, lookin' like it's painted
The way your body move, it make a nigga pass out
Now baby drop to the floor and poke that ass out
I say them heels got them legs lookin' fire, baby
And if I say you weren't the truth, I'd be a liar, baby
Got me thinkin' to myself, I love the way you walk
I love that little attitude and the way you talk
Now picture me and you headed back to my house on the hill
Lookin' at the moon while you tell me how you feel
Cause you know we gotta keep it on the low with everything we do
But everything is good when it's me and you
All my niggas know, when she hits the floor
That she steals the show
All my niggas know, when she hits the door
That girl has to go
[Chorus:]
Too hot, she's hot, melt, sex, too hot
Too hot, she's hot, gets all of that
Too hot, she's hot, that's a fact
Too hot, she's hot, that's that

I bought a new house today

That makes this special
Is when I see your face
[Chorus:]

[Chorus:]

[Chorus:]
I just want to take you out
And do those things that lovers do
Girl I just want to take you out
And do those things that lovers do
And I wanna take you out
I'm steadily trying to find the words to say
Cause you never gon' know [?] new flow
Hit a few notes, flip the track
Devante take 'em back
I've been watchin' you
For so very long
Cause you are the one
You oughta talk to me
For the 3rd time, for the 4th time
For the 5th time, for the 8th time
For the 9th time, girl I don't mind
Speak your mind, cause if you got it
Consistency
[Chorus:]
I just want to take you out
And do those things that lovers do
Girl I just want to take you out
And do those things that lovers do

And show you what this life is all about
Maybe take you to the moon
Maybe drive you down south
You can have a love tonight
I promise you, no doubt
Maybe later on
I'll get my tongue in your mouth
Wet and deep, girl
If you don't mind
You're so fine
Do you wanna go?
Baby I just gotta know and have to know
If we can get freaky tonight
Baby I just gotta know and have to know
If we can get freaky tonight
Baby I just gotta know and have to know
If we can get freaky tonight
Baby I just gotta know and have to know
If we can get freaky tonight
Close, close, let's get close
Close, close, let's get close
Close, close, let's get close
Close, close, let's get close
[Chorus:]
I just want to take you out
And do those things that lovers do
Girl I just want to take you out
And do those things that lovers do
And I wanna take you out
Through the years a lot of things changed
We shared the love like a melody
My sweetest moments are in your ear with me
Give me all of me
Giving you all of me too
Trusting me, trusting you
In my life
Every moment is so sweet
When you're laying next to me
Our hearts beating as one
Nothing we can't overcome
Every time I look at you
Your smile lets me know you feel me too
Anything you wanna be
I can do it because you're right here next to me
Give me all of me
Giving you all of me too
Trusting me, trusting you
In my life
Every moment is so sweet
When you're laying next to me
Our hearts beating as one
Nothing we can't overcome
The sun, the moon, the stars
It can't compare to you and me
Cause you are my everything
And I can't explain
(And I can't complain)
You never out of range
The wind, the rain, the sea
It just can't move like you and me baby
So cold when you feel the breeze
When you're laying next to me baby
Chills come constantly
Every moment is so sweet
When you're laying next to me
Our hearts beating as one
Nothing we can't overcome
[x4:]
I'm lying here, waiting for you
Girl you can get it any time you want it
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
Nobody wins
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
Bobby
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
[Verse 1 - B.o.B:]
We don't see the same, and we don't speak the same
But if we don't get shit right this go ’round, then we ain't gon' beat the game
You can see the pain, we entertain when disagreements turn into blame
The heated words turn into flames under your skin, it just aggravates
Every nerve you got, and every working vein, gotta take a cool breath and respirate
We gon' get it right, no matter how many steps it takes
’Cause the devil gon' lie, and Heaven don't hesitate
And Lord knows we need Heaven, ’cause we're going through Hell each and every day
These emotions bottled up inside are hot enough to fry thermometers and lighters on my mind
A lot of us will find the answers obvious, but probably all the time
You gotta know the signs and loosen up how tight you hold your pride
Put emotions to the side and get a grip before you lose your mind
[Hook - Jodeci (x2):]
Nobody wins
When we fight, fuss and argue
Nobody wins
We say we leaving but we never do
Nobody wins
When we fuss, fight and argue
Nobody wins
We say we leaving but we never do
Nobody wins
[Verse 2 - Jodeci:]
Stop throwing those pots and pans
(Nobody wins)
We don't have to use our hands
(No we don't)
Baby can you understand
(Baby can you understand)
I'm just being a man
[Hook]
[Verse 3 - B.o.B:]
Gossipin', gossipin' and gossipin'
Everybody don't got your back, even if you got a lot of friends
Everybody sins, everybody sins if somebody loses, nobody wins
Sometimes you just need space, sometimes you need oxygen
Negative ain't so bad when it's negative space
If you do anything with nothing, then nothing can get in your way
I always remember when karma comes ’round, ’cause she got a similar face
You gotta know when to hold what you got and know when to give it away
[Hook]
[Verse 4 - Jodeci:]
Let's talk about this
(Let's just talk about this)
I'm glad that you missed
(Nobody wins)
You almost tore up my face
We can't afford to buy another place
[Hook]
[Outro - Jodeci:]
I don't care what you do
Nobody wins
Might as well stay home
Stay home, stay home, yeah
Nobody wins, no, no
Nobody wins, no
Nobody wins
Don't fool yourself
Tryna fool somebody else
Nobody, nobody
Nobody wins
Walkin' around like you've been walkin' all around, girl
Wearin' it like you've been wearin' it, girl
Keep smilin' and smilin', keep smilin' for me, baby
That's all I keep thinkin' of
Every time you be lookin' over my way
I be thinkin' you be lookin' at me
I be thinkin' you be starin' at me
I be thinkin' you be watchin' me
I be thinkin' you be clockin' me
Maybe not, maybe it's just
Just my imagination
Incredible
I'm taking you with me
Babe can't you see
[Chorus:]
I think you're so incredible
Incredible, I gots to know
I think you're so incredible
Dreamin' for you like I've been dreamin' for you
Wantin' you like I've been wantin', wantin' you
Schemin' for you like I've been schemin' for you
Huntin' for you like I'm on a hunt for you, baby
I hope I really catch up with you
I hope you come around the way
I can't wait to tell all my friends
About this incredible lady
[Chorus:]
I think you're so incredible
Incredible, I gots to know
I think you're so incredible...
Thought I could settle down, my friend
Hoping for something to let
Hoping for something to let
Then you left me all alone
Called me on the telephone
Said you found someone and you found fast
Girl you found him fast
[Chorus:]
All of my dreams are shattered
As soon as I came home
Now that I lost you, girl
Jennifer is gone
I want you to know this pain is real
I wish I could show you how I feel
I want you to know this pain is real
I wish I could show you how I feel
Now what is this other guy about?
What does he have that I have not?
Is it because I'm too far?
Is it because I'm too far?
The distance is not so far away
Why is this the price I have to pay?
To feel the touch of your beautiful star
Beautiful star
[Chorus x2:]
All of my dreams are shattered
As soon as I came home
Now that I lost you, girl
Jennifer is gone
I want you to know this pain is real
I wish I could show you how I feel
I want you to know this pain is real
I wish I could show you how I feel
I wanna be alone with you, girl
You know your body, body
Grippin' on that, baby like you grippin' that Bacardi
I wanna be alone with you, girl
Diggin' on your body parts, body parts
You know your body parts, body parts
You know your body parts, body parts
I see you standin' over there in the corner
Lookin' like you wanna get it, girl
Grippin' that drink so tight
Tell me if I'm so right
Cause you're lookin' dynamite
And I wanna be at home with you tonight
Maybe [?]
Making you my wife
So hear me, let me have a drink with you
Let me get you in the mood
Get your attitude
Let's get all in the nude
Now let me grind you to the beat, baby

[Mila J:]
