In Las Vegas, sisters LeMisha and Irish Grinstead, and their friend Kameelah Williams, were students at the Las Vegas Academy of Performing Arts. Irish, her twin sister Orish, and LeMisha occasionally sang in the lobby of Caesars Palace where they were discovered by actor/comedian Sinbad. He visited their home in order to convince their parents to send the trio to Atlanta for a convention and music competition. Though the girls missed the deadline for entry, Sinbad used his name to get them in.[1] "Sweeta than Suga," as they were then called (Sinbad suggested the name), came in second in the competition. As the convention was nearing a close, they met Michael Bivins (of New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe) who agreed to work with the sisters. They were briefly joined by their cousin Amelia Childs. After they made their recorded debut on Subway's hit single "This Lil' Game We Play", Amelia dropped out of the group[1] and was replaced by Kameelah Williams. After recording a few demos as a quartet including "Steelo", and "Get It Together", Orish decided to leave the group (even though her vocals appear on the first album). Bivins continued to work with different producers and songwriters to get the right feel for their first album. The reconfigured group was christened "702," which is Las Vegas' area code, a name which bivens suggested. [1]
702 was discovered by Michael Bivins of New Edition and made their recorded debut on Subway's hit single "This Lil' Game We Play". Missy Elliott wrote and co-produced four songs from their first album, No Doubt, including "Steelo". The remix of "Steelo" was the first major solo production credit for Elliott's main collaborator Timbaland. "Steelo" was later used, with altered lyrics, as the theme song to the Nickelodeon television show Cousin Skeeter.
Elliott crafted two more songs for 702, their second album, the top 5 hit "Where My Girls At" and "You Don't Know". No Doubt won a Lady Of Soul Soul Train Award for "Best R&B/Soul or Rap Album Of The Year by A Group Band Or Duo". The group split after the poor sales of their album 'Star' and lack of promotion from Motown.
Kameelah now sings backup for the likes of Faith Evans and Macy Gray. She has been working on her solo project for a while, releasing a number of singles including the duet with Musiq Soulchild “Give It to You” and her recent release “Think About Me”. Irish was the only group member to act, as she co-starred in The Brewster Project in early 2004.
Orish, twin sister of Irish, died of kidney failure on Sunday April 20, 2008 at age 27. She was part of the original lineup (pre-No Doubt) and filled in for Misha during her pregnancy.

702 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That one day
You'd look around
& I just wouldn't be there
Please, don't go
I want to make it right
'cause tomorrow is just not promised
You'll never know what tomorrow holds
You'll just never know
To put it off till tomorrow today (stay)
Make it last (make it last)
Always (always)
My pride
My destiny
I find a peace of mind when you're next to me
You changed my darkest sky
With the ?clean from your arm?
Simply smilin' on me
Makes my life complete
So what's the use in fussin', fightin'
When if you ever leave me
I'd be so weak
Oh baby
Please understand when when I go to sleep at night
I want to know that everything is all right
You'll never know
You'll just never know
To put it off till tomorrow today
Make it last forever, forever & always
You'll just never know
To put it off till tomorrow today
Make it last forever, & ever, forever & always
& I make it so that everytime you're around me
You're recreating sweet, brand new memories
Can't let these silly changes aggravate the love in me
Just for a moment you can concentrate on me
Through slow dances
?& parks & lustin' you?
& hugs & kisses in the restaurant (in the restraunt)
Oh baby
You can't let the sun go down before
You let me know you're lovin' me
'cause you'll never know
You'll just never know
To put it off till tomorrow today
Make it last forever, forever & always
You'll just never know
To put it off till tomorrow today
Make it last forever, & ever, forever & always
Can't imagine one day without you (day without you)
& never had a crush ?on my way till I found you?
Nuthin' else really matters to me
I'm gonna keep lovin' you everyday
You'll just never know
To put it off till tomorrow today
Make it last forever, forever & always
You'll just never know
To put it off till tomorrow today
Make it last forever, & ever, forever & always
(Repeat till end)
The lyrics to 702's song You'll Just Never Know revolve around the theme of the importance of expressing your love for someone before it's too late. The singer addresses their lover, acknowledging that they might not have realized that someday they would be gone. The singer pleads with them not to leave and promises to make things right, emphasizing the uncertainty of tomorrow. The chorus repeats the sentiment that one should not put off expressing their love for today, as tomorrow is not promised, reinforcing the idea that life is fragile and that one should grab the opportunity to show their love when it presents itself.

I bet you've never imagined
I don't think you've ever thought about
That one day
At some point in the future
You'd look around
You would search for
& I just wouldn't be there
And I would no longer be present
So I hear you're leavin'
I understand that you are planning on departing
Please, don't go
I'm asking you to stay
I want to make it right
I want to fix any issues
'cause tomorrow is just not promised
Because we cannot guarantee what will happen in the future
You'll never know what tomorrow holds
It's impossible to know what the future will bring
You'll just never know
You simply cannot find out
To put it off till tomorrow today (stay)
Don't delay until later; stay present in the moment
Make it last (make it last)
Keep the good times going
Always (always)
Consistently
My pride
My sense of self-worth
My destiny
My predetermined fate
I find a peace of mind when you're next to me
I feel calm and content when you are by my side
You changed my darkest sky
You brought light to my darkest moments
With the ?clean from your arm?
With the comfort of your embrace
Simply smilin' on me
Just by smiling at me
Makes my life complete
Brings fulfillment to my life
So what's the use in fussin', fightin'
There's no point in arguing or fighting
When if you ever leave me
In the event that you choose to depart
I'd be so weak
I would be emotionally vulnerable
Oh baby
A term of endearment for a significant other
Please understand when when I go to sleep at night
Please understand that as I go to sleep at night
I want to know that everything is all right
I want reassurance that everything is okay
You'll just never know
You can't fully comprehend
To put it off till tomorrow today
Don't delay until later; stay present in the moment
Make it last forever, forever & always
Continue the love and happiness indefinitely
And I make it so that everytime you're around me
I ensure that every moment spent with you
You're recreating sweet, brand new memories
We are making precious new memories together
Can't let these silly changes aggravate the love in me
I will not allow minor issues to negatively impact our relationship
Just for a moment you can concentrate on me
Take a brief moment to focus on our connection
Through slow dances
By swaying gently together
?& parks & lustin' you?
And while visiting parks and enjoying your intimate company
& hugs & kisses in the restaurant (in the restraunt)
And embracing and sharing kisses at the dining establishment
Oh baby
A term of endearment for a significant other
You can't let the sun go down before
You must not wait until the day is over before
You let me know you're lovin' me
Expressing your love for me
Can't imagine one day without you (day without you)
I cannot fathom the idea of a day without you
& never had a crush ?on my way till I found you?
I never experienced such strong feelings of affection until I met you
Nuthin' else really matters to me
Nothing else is as important to me
I'm gonna keep lovin' you everyday
I will continue to love you daily
(Repeat till end)
Repeat until the end of the song
