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.
Remain Silent
Dru Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have the right to remain silent.Anything you say can be held against you in this court of love. oh yeah... you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be held against you in this court of love.
I'm not gonna build your hopes and baby let you post bail. I'm gonna keep your body locked up in a cell. Have it all night girl, interigation. Baby hold on because I'm gon' rap this case up. I'll set the ruules that you go by. No room for public defenders your all mine. you've been accused of a love affair. So baby close your eyes I'll take you there
You have the right to remain silent. any thing you say can be held against you in this court of love. You have the right to remain silent
You have the right to remain silent. any thing you say can be held against you in this court of love.
The lyrics of Dru Hill's song "Remain Silent" depict a scenario where the singer (presumably a police officer) pulls over a speeding driver and subsequently arrests her. He tells her to assume the position so he can search her and promises not to hurt her. He then informs her that she has the right to remain silent and anything she says can be held against her in the court of love. He continues to tell her that he won't post bail and will keep her locked up in a cell. He will be the one to interrogate her, setting the rules himself, and there will be no public defenders. The woman has been accused of having a love affair, and he promises to take her there, asking her to close her eyes.
The song showcases the metaphorical comparison between love and law enforcement, with the singer being the judge and the accuser at the same time. He has already accused the woman of a love affair, and he presents himself as the only one who can judge her and take action against her. The lyrics also have undertones of dominance, with the singer telling the woman to assume the position and putting her under his submission during the strip search. The song's title, "Remain Silent," is a crucial phrase in law enforcement, serving as a reminder of a person's right to refuse to answer any questions during an interrogation.
