Ginuwine can be spotted in one of Jodeci's videos. There, he met rapper Missy Elliott and producer "Timbaland", who became his main collaborators through the 1990s. Ginuwine's first single, the 1996 " Pony" from Ginuwine...The Bachelor, showcased his smooth vocals and Timbaland's innovative production style, and the two became a hit-making duo.
After his second album, 100% Ginuwine, released in 1999, Ginuwine and Timbaland grew apart, and producers such as R. Kelly have crafted hits for him since then. In 2001, Ginuwine had a number-four hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single " Differences", which also peaked at number-one on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. In 2002, Ginuwine was a feature artist on P. Diddy's number-one hit "I Need a Girl (Part II)".
Ginuwine's fifth album, Back II Da Basics, was released on November 15, 2005. The album debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, selling close to 100,000 copies. Ginuwine stated on BET's Top 100 countdown that the album went Gold with sales of 500,000 copies.
In May 2007, an album entitled I Apologize was released in stores. Although attributed to Ginuwine, the release was an unauthorized album and only included three Ginuwine songs - apparently from stolen masters - and ten songs by other artists. Ginuwine spoke against the unofficial release on both his MySpace page and through YouTube.
Ginuwine's sixth album entitled A Man's Thoughts, was released on June 23, 2009. Ginuwine formed a group with Tank and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single was a remix of Tank's "Please Don't Go". They were supposed to tour but plans fell apart due to conflicting schedules.
Ginuwine announced on his Myspace Blog on August 21, 2008 that due to label and legal issues they will not be able to release an official TGT album. Ginuwine is the founder and CEO of LoveSong Incorporated, after completing his contract with 550 Music/Epic. Ginuwine announced on his Myspace blog on August 21, 2008 that he signed a major label deal with Notifi Records/Warner Brothers.
Heaven
Ginuwine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause back seems so far
There's nothing like my secret place
Girl that's what you are
Patiently awaiting at the gate
Till you call my name
'Cause every time that I came in
[Chorus]
Every time we get it on
It feels like (heaven)
Angels sing trumpets blow
Like I'm in (heaven)
It's like I'm tubbin' wind up there
My god you've finally answered my prayers
I ain't never leaving home
'Cause I'm in (heaven)
Heaven
Glad I got my life together
I made it in
'Cause being here's so much better
Than where I've been
I'm enjoying these streets of gold
So perfect and it won't get old
So glad that I could stay forever
Don't ever let them sin
'Cause
[Chorus]
The minute that you opened up the door
I swear it's everything I waited for
Every little thing that you do
Keeps me caught up on you
Got me coming back for more
'Cause I'm so hot I fly
Oh I'm enjoying the ride,
And now I'm living in the clouds next to the sun
Your arms are open wide I hear you whisper, welcome
[Chorus]
It feels (heaven)
(Heaven)
