While on this label, the men of 3rd Storee toured with N'Sync and Britney Spears. In 1999, they released their self-titled debut album which had five tracks produced by Babyface. One of these tracks, "If Ever", was released as a single. The album's other single was "Party Tonight."
After the first album, lead singer Lil Man left the group to pursue a solo career. In 2005 he released his first album "Learn How To Love" which spawned the hit single "Happy Together." As part of his current deal with Treacherous Records, K. Young was given his own production company "Magic Ink." He currently is touring in Europe.
The group was then moved to Def Soul, which was serving as the new distribution method for Edmonds Entertainment. While there, the group roster expanded to five, as they added long-time friend, J'Son, and Gavin, who had impressed the group's manager, Jacqueline McQuarn.
While on Def Soul, the group released the album Get With Me in 2002. It included the track "I'm Sorry," which the group had recorded for the Rush Hour 2 soundtrack. The title track, "Get With Me," was produced by Rodney Jerkins and was released as a single.
Following the release of their sophomore effort, the group went on a brief hiatus. They returned in 2006 under the new name, Chapter 4, and had lost Kevontay in the process. Under the new name, the group was signed to J Records, where they released the single "Fool Wit You." They were reportedly working on a new album, but that seems to have been lost in the rough.
How Can This Be
3rd Storee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything that we did we let each other know the deal
When we would walk to school we had each others back
We were inseparable and strength where we would lack
On that day when they called and let me know the news
I began to cry tears for you
Even though the time we shared is a time that I will miss
How can I tell her that I love her if she doesn't know me
How can I tell her what she means if she cannot dream
How can I show her that she's beautiful if she cannot see me
How does she know she makes me cry if she's not alive
I remember people saying give them their flowers
While they yet live so they can see them
But you never think that day could ever come to hit you
Because the love you had was strong and invincible
But remember God is the creator
And he has the power to shake her and take her
Even though the time we shared is a time that I will miss
There's an emptiness of the bliss that once existed
On that day when they called and let me know the news
I began to cry tears for you
Even though the time we shared is a time that I will miss
But there's an emptiness of the bliss that once existed
How can I tell her that I love her if she doesn't know me
How can I tell her what she means if she cannot dream
How can I show her that she's beautiful if she cannot see me
How does she know she makes me cry if she's not alive
Though I get lonely I know she's with me
'Cause death can't take my special lady from me
God guide me along in Your will
'Cause I know Heaven is real
How can I tell her that I love her if she doesn't know me
How can I tell her what she means if she cannot dream
How can I show her that she's beautiful if she cannot see me
How does she know she makes me cry if she's not alive
