In 2003, news of her third album hit with various album title changes throughout the year from Ride Again: 7/2 to Two Can Play That Game. During this year, Howard also starred in an an independent film called Casanova's Demise co-starring Greg Horos.
In 2004, Howard officially released her third album, The Second Coming, under Rufftown Records. With the distribution label and the record label in conflict, the album suffered without much publicity — it was mostly limited to the music video for "Nasty Grind" playing on BET during early morning hours. Despite the lack of publicity, it sold over 40,000 copies.
In 2005, Howard intended to release The Second Coming: Remixed but that project was shelved to make way for a new full-length album, Private Show. Along with a new album, Howard worked with Walid Azami to bring documentaries for her fansite. This was an attempt to explain her side of the story and show her fans how the album was made.
The promo single, "Phone Sex", was released in September 2006. After some delays, Howard's third album was released on June 27, 2007 with the lead single, "L.O.V.A." It managed to peak #17 on iTunes R&B music sales chart. However, the album missed the Billboard 200 and R&B Albums chart altogether; overall, it sold only a few thousand copies. Shortly thereafter, Howard and Arsenal Records parted ways. On September 25, 2009, an independent compilation, "Independent Soul Divas 2" was issued on Lola Waxx Records. This compilation features "What Do I Do", a song recorded by Howard in 2008. The version included on the compilation is different from the version originally featured on her official MySpace profile.
According to Howard's official website, in addition to getting married, she went back to school to study culinary arts, and she is in the early stages of creating a possible fourth studio album.
Let's Roll
Adina Howard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If only I just let you, show me,
Things I never seen before,
You say you can fill my cup,
Screaming with just one touch,
Your name, all over this room baby ohhhhhh
[Chorus]
Ten inches deep, deep inside of me, make my body over flow,
Let's roll, you promised to do what you said,
The way I'm coming in my bed, slowly, harder, faster
I'm gonna slip my panties off,
I hope your man enough to get me off,
Victoria has no secrets tonight,
Just you and me sexing all night,
(I've never seen something so beautiful baby),
Give it to me, like you promised,
(dont hold back at all)
[Chorus]
[Hook]
No more talking shit, make me slap my hips, man up,
Back to front, show me what's up, you know what I want yeah,
You like to cuddle up, now give me some, on my knees,
In between my cream, ten inches deep yeah
[Chorus out]
The lyrics of Adina Howard's song 'Let' predominantly revolve around the singer's sexual desires and her willingness to let her partner fulfill them. The song begins with the singer's partner telling her that he can love her better if she lets him show her things she has never seen before. He promises to fill her cup and make her scream with just one touch. The chorus repeats the phrase 'Let's roll' which implies that the singer is willing to go along with her partner's desires. She wants him to give her what he promised - ten inches deep inside of her - and make her body overflow with pleasure. The hook of the song talks about the need for action instead of mere talk. It urges the partner to man up and show the singer what he's got. The lyrics are explicit, and the song leaves no room for subtlety.
