In 2001, she released her first single titled Never. Never ended becoming Perez' first charting single in her career, peaking at #79 on the Billboard Hot 100. In April 2002, she released her first album titled Where You At?, under the independent label, Powerhouse Records. Although the album did not chart on the Billboard 200, it was hit in the eastern part of the United States, and made her a local celebrity in her hometown. It also brought the attention of Virgin Records, who signed her later that year and decided to release a re-worked version of Where You At? nationally.
In 2003, the re-worked version of the album, this time titled Angel, was released nationally. It peaked at #73 on Billboard 200, and spawned two singles, Angel and I Like It. Angel was released as the first single from the album, and peaked at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her first and only Top 20 single. Her second single, I Like It did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but became a club and urban hit for Perez.
In 2004, Perez released her third album titled I Pray. The album peaked lower than her previous album, peaking at #90 on the Billboard 200, and only one single was released from the album. The single, I Pray, failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her first single to fail to chart.
In 2007, Perez released her fourth album titled The Hand of Fate. The album peaked at #38 on the Billboard 200.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got some questions
That I want to ask you
And boy don't even try lie
'Cause already found out the truth
Seen you at the hotel
Walkin' in room 3
Told me you was workin'
No no no
[Chorus]
No no no
I ain't takin' this no more
It's time for me to say bye bye
Wipe away my tears 'cause there ain't
No need to cry
See all you want to do
Is play game with my mind
But boy I don't play games
For the simple fact that
I don't have the time
I kept it real with you
But you didn't keep it real with me
So here's the keys to your car
I think it's time for you to leave
Yeah
[Chorus]
You tell me to call you
But you ain't ever home
Tell me hit you on your cellular
But your cellular ain't ever on
See I was that girl
Who would be by your side
But I got sick and tired
Of all your lies
[Chorus]
So you me to be your second Ms.
But in it's place find the one to be dissed don't play with me 'cause I ain't wit
It want to turn around and hate a fool well while you slay me I'll slay you so
What what what you gon do now you think you the man with the master plan
But obviously you don't know who I am turn around and tell me what's the deal
When I will show you exactly how I feel here's the keys get in your ride take

'Cause what I'm sayin' I'm only sayin today
Ha ha ha boy I ain't playin'
Oh you think this is a joke
Uh uh no no no
Your stuff is packed it out the door 'cause I'm tellin' you right now I ain't
Takin' this
No ooh whoa whoa whoa whoa no
[Chorus]
