Signing to Island Records through Haqq Islam's University Records imprint, the group released two successful albums, Dru Hill and Enter the Dru, before separating for a period from late 1999 to 2002, during which time Sisqó and Woody released solo albums. While Woody's Soul Music LP was a moderate success in the gospel music industry, Sisqó's debut album, Unleash the Dragon, and its hit singles, "Thong Song" and "Incomplete", were major pop successes, and established Sisqó as a household name outside Dru Hill. Sisqó's second album, Return of Dragon, did not sell as well.
In 2002, by then part of the Def Soul record label, the group reunited and added fifth member Rufus "Scola" Waller to the lineup for their third album, Dru World Order, whose underperformance led to the group being dropped from Def Soul. In 2009, the group signed to Kedar Entertainment Group and released their fourth album, InDRUpendence Day, the following year, with new member Tao taking the place of the again departed Woody.
Do U Believe?
Dru Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you believe in love
Can't you see, like I can see
That we should be in love
Cisco & Lisa fell in love the other day,
talked on the phone so long,
They caught the break of day,
Keesha & Nokio don't talk like they used to,
When two are in love.
Do you Believe like I Believe
Do you believe in love
Can't you see, like I can see
That we should be in love
You say you're tired of all those lonely nights at home,
Tossing & turning wishing you were not alone,
I've got to find a way to get you in my life,
And if I do, I promise you I'll make you my wife.
Do you Believe like I Believe
Do you believe in love
Can't you see, like I can see
That we should be in love
I ain't got no time for love, no time for hugs,
No time for me, what was I thinking of,
I got to find a way to get you back to me,
There are no guarantees in love.
Do you Believe like I Believe
Do you believe in love
Can't you see, like I can see
That we should be in love
