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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo, make.. make my voice a little more distorted
Yeah, I don't know if they ready for this
Uh dance, uh uh dance, uh uh dance, uh uh dance
Uh uh, verse
Last night we had an argument
Afterwards I'm feelin? pretty bent
What was in store for me
[Chorus]
You don't know, you don't know how she'll take it
Tell me what a simple man could do
Will she cherish your heart, will she break it
'Cause you are everything and everything is you, sing
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
Listen, baby don't want you playin' me
Lovin' me, holdin' me
Over and then ya play me, blame me, lately
You everything to me, wonder if truly
That our love is always
[Chorus]
Break it down, oh
Yeah huh, Ja Rule and Dru Hill, nigga
Baby girl, you tellin' lies
'Cause when I look at you in your face
I could see I'm on your mind
And it don't matter what them hoes may say
I know your love is blind for me
Every bitch needs a thug nigga in their life
Truly, could it be, could it be
You enjoy me fuckin' you while you be lovin' me
Bitch destroy hoes mentally
that's why they freak with me, frequently
Love is life
[Nokio]
No nigga, life is love
Take her bad but just ice her up
Head for tour, tell her to keep in touch
Nigga, that's what's up
Being Nokio's a bit much
y'all bitches overseas that love to fuck
y'all bitches in the states that love to suck
What the fuck why?all want from me
Ghetto celebrity from be 'more
Murderer, Do Or Die from the N-why
Now everyone get right
N-O-K-I-O baby

And yo, alotta why?all bitches hate me
'cause you can't relate to me
What the fuck you want from me?
Made them hoes know now they think
I get rich and I get rearranged 'cause you know
You are everything
Repeat 2 until fade
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
The song "You Are Everything Remix/Album Version" by Dru Hill is a love song that explores the ups and downs of relationships. The song starts off with a distorted voice that sets the tone for the song's unusual and experimental nature. The lyrics describe a recent argument between the couple, and the singer is feeling confused about what to do next. He wonders if his partner will cherish his heart or break it. The chorus repeats the phrase "you are everything and everything is you" four times, emphasizing the importance of the couple's life together.
The second verse comes in, and it features rapper Ja Rule, who brings a whole new perspective to the song. He addresses the singer's partner, accusing her of telling lies about their love. Ja Rule claims that he can see that he's on her mind, and that love can sometimes be blind. The song then switches back to Dru Hill, who sings about the difficulties of fame, particularly for Nokio, who has a lot of admirers both in the States and overseas. The song ends with the chorus repeated several times.
Overall, the song expresses the mixed emotions of a couple who have had an argument but who still love each other deeply. It also explores the challenges of relationships and the impact of fame on love.

Here comes the first verse
Last night we had an argument
We had a fight last night
Afterwards I'm feelin? pretty bent
I'm upset about what happened
Then I took a drink, and I didn't think
I started drinking alcohol without considering the consequences
What was in store for me
I didn't anticipate what would happen next
[Chorus]
Here comes the chorus
You don't know, you don't know how she'll take it
You don't know how she'll react to your actions
Tell me what a simple man could do
What can an ordinary person do in this situation?
Will she cherish your heart, will she break it
Will she value your heart or hurt you?
'Cause you are everything and everything is you, sing
You are my world and I'm singing about it
Listen, baby don't want you playin' me

I hope our love is forever
Break it down, oh

A collaboration between Ja Rule and Dru Hill
Baby girl, you tellin' lies
You're being dishonest, baby girl
'Cause when I look at you in your face
I can tell when you're lying by looking at your face
I could see I'm on your mind
I know I'm on your mind
And it don't matter what them hoes may say
It doesn't matter what other women say about us
I know your love is blind for me
I know you love me regardless of my faults
Every bitch needs a thug nigga in their life
Every woman needs a strong man in her life
Truly, could it be, could it be
Could it truly be?
You enjoy me fuckin' you while you be lovin' me
You like being intimate with me because you love me
Bitch destroy hoes mentally
Women envy our relationship
that's why they freak with me, frequently
That's why they're attracted to me and want to be with me
Love is life
Love is an essential part of life
[Nokio]
Nokio takes the next verse
No nigga, life is love
Actually, life is all about love
Take her bad but just ice her up
Accept her flaws, but also treat her well
Head for tour, tell her to keep in touch
Going on tour, but staying in touch with her
Nigga, that's what's up
That's cool
Being Nokio's a bit much
My personality is a lot to handle
y'all bitches overseas that love to fuck
Women abroad who are sexually interested in me
y'all bitches in the states that love to suck
Women in the US who enjoy being intimate with me
What the fuck why?all want from me
What do you all want from me?
Ghetto celebrity from be 'more
I'm a famous figure from Baltimore
Murderer, Do Or Die from the N-why
I'm a killer, part of the rap group Do or Die from the North Side
Now everyone get right
Let's all get ready
N-O-K-I-O baby
My name is Nokio
are to the you to L-E, baby
Rhythmic spelling of my name
And yo, alotta why?all bitches hate me
A lot of women dislike me
'cause you can't relate to me
Because they can't understand me
What the fuck you want from me?
What do you want from me?
Made them hoes know now they think
I made those women realize something
I get rich and I get rearranged 'cause you know
I get wealthy and change due to my success
[Chorus]
Here comes the chorus again
You are everything
You are my everything
Repeat 2 until fade
Repeat the chorus twice until the music fades out
You are everything and everything is you
You complete me and I'm nothing without you
You are everything and everything is you
You are my world and I revolve around you
You are everything and everything is you
You are the most important thing in my life
You are everything and everything is you
I cannot function without you
