They released their self-titled debut album, D-Cru in 2000. The album featured their biggest hit, the ballad "I Will Be Waiting", a top-ten hit in Canada. The album's other main single on the Canadian charts (reaching number 11) was "Show Me", which sampled the chorus from the song "Show Me the Way", which was originally a hit for Mackenzie's old group The West End Girls in 1991.
D-Cru band member Craig Smart later contributed back-up vocals on two tracks for Master P's album, "Game Face".
They received a Juno Award nomination in 2001 for Best R&B/Soul Recording for "I Will Be Waiting".
Show Me
D-Cru Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show me the way
(I want you to)
Show me the way, darlin', please stay
Show me the way to you heart
Everybody groove as we rock the show
Party people in the house know it's good to go
Goin' buck wild like a prodigy child
But in the madness girls will confess
GC's got the jiggy and the jiggy is blessed
No, I ain't no playa but I'll playa the scene
Make a princess feel like a queen know what I mean
Duwajiggyjiggycumjiggyju
I just wanna drink Cristal with you
And if you wanna come ride in my MBS class
You better, better come shake that
All the ladies take it higher
Come quench my desire
I'll make ya hot like fire
Baby, come show me the way
(Uh, uh)
Show me the way, darlin', please stay
Show me the way
(I want you to)
Show me the way, darlin', please stay
Show me the way to you heart
And yo it's Monday morning and I'm thinkin' 'bout you
Love the way you walk, love the things you do
Girl, I'm in the studio doin' things for you
I'm droppin' much rhymes 'cause you know I'm due
I'm keepin' my groove and I'm doin' like this
And like that for us to stay on top girl
'Cause I'm doin' my things for us
And you know what's up
You know it's real rough in the other world
But that's now and now and then
And we can keep it on top
'Cause you know we both can win
Let me show you all my love, girl
'Cause I know you wanna be in my world girl
(Yeah)
Show me the way, darlin', please stay
Show me the way

Baby, come, show me the way
Show me the way, darlin', please stay

Show me the way, darlin', please stay
Show me the way to you heart
The lyrics to D-Cru's song "Show Me" appear to be a plea to a lover to show the singer the way into their heart. The opening line, "Show me the way, darlin' please stay," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer seems to be requesting guidance on how to enter their lover's heart while also asking them to remain in their life. The repetition of the phrase "show me the way" highlights the importance of the lovers' communication and the need for direction.
The following verses shift to a more celebratory, party-like tone, with references to dancing and music. However, even in this context, the singer remains focused on his desire for his lover. His proclamation that he wants to drink Cristal with her and the repetition of "jiggy" suggest he wants to impress her and make her feel special. The final verse returns to the personal, with the singer expressing his love and the importance of his lover in his life. Overall, the lyrics seem to be a mix of a romantic plea and a fun, party anthem.

I forgot about this song and one day went to my project car at my parents and found this CD in my car. Brought back memories of simpler times when I was younger.
@ayanp353
The chorus is sampled from West End Girls' "Show Me the Way". One of the D-Cru members was in West End Girls.
