The group is made up of twin lead singers Brian Casey (nicknamed Brasco) and Brandon Casey (Case Dinero) (both born October 13, 1975), Kyle Norman (Quick), and Richard Wingo (Wingo).

Wingo was a late addition to the group, added after Kandi Burruss of Xscape recommended he be added. Kandi was also the one who brought the group to the attention of Dupri. The group, with a style similar to New Edition, Jodeci, and Dru Hill, has had a number of hit singles, many of which are produced by Dupri.

Identical twin brothers Brian Casey and Brandon Casey, Kyle Norman, and Richard Wingo--known collectively as Jagged Edge--have built the group's career and reputation from one simple premise: make great music and make sure the music's for real.

2) A melodic rock band, Jagged Edge UK featuring guitarist Myke Gray. Released their debut EP, Trouble in early 1990, followed by the full-length Fuel For Your Soul .

3) Drum & Bass collaboration of Optical & Ryme Tyme from the United Kingdom

Jagged Edge Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If one more niggga bout me
Swear Imma make 'em feeling
The shownty spill one more drink
Might just get up and lose it
This suppose to be fun, try to get closer to her
Look how quick you filled up
Think there's too many niggas in my section tonight
I wanna you so tight, right

But I may never get this chance again
Baby, maybe we should get familiar
Maybe we should go somewhere, going rock to hear ya
Baby not try to hurt girl I try to feel you
Maybe we should go and go familiar
Come and stay some for a few
'Cause you a few that we gonna do, get that right and do

Showty sure this is way you wanna met
This place it ain't my style
Cant even feel myself fake
How am I suppose to get to know you better?
If there's too many niggas in my section tonight
I need her so bad but try to make it right
But I may never get this chance again
Maybe, maybe we should go more familiar
Maybe we should go somewhere to rock
Baby not try to hurt girl I try to feel you
Maybe we should go and get familiar
Come and stay some for a few
'Cause you a few that we gonna do,
Baby run up more closer
I'm not letting you go
Girl I kinda get them most of
You know when I'm letting you know
Mean while I'm not letting you go
Just wanna get you alone in a quiet room
Baby lets doin it more familiar
Maybe, maybe we should go more familiar
Maybe we should go somewhere to rock to hear you
Baby not try to hurt girl I try to feel you
Maybe we should go and get familiar
Come and stay some for a few
'Cause you a few that we gonna do,
Maybe we should go more familiar
Maybe we should go somewhere to rock to hear you

Baby not try to hurt girl I try to feel you
Maybe we should go and get familiar

Overall Meaning

In Jagged Edge’s song “Familiar,” the singer expresses his desire to get closer to a specific woman, yet feels frustrated by the presence of other men in his section. He warns that if anyone disrespects him or spills a drink, it may lead him to lose his temper. He acknowledges that he may never have this opportunity again and suggests that they “get familiar,” implying a physical relationship. He suggests leaving the club to go somewhere more private, where they can get to know each other better. Towards the end of the song, he emphasizes his desire to be alone with her in a quiet room.

The lyrics of “Familiar” explore themes of lust, frustration, and the temptation of infidelity. The singer’s impatience and desire for intimacy are contrasted with his acknowledgment that his actions could lead to negative consequences. The line “Maybe we should go somewhere, going rock to hear ya” suggests that the singer wants to take the woman somewhere where he can hear her more clearly, perhaps indicating that he wants to take her somewhere quieter to have a private conversation or intimate encounter.

Overall, “Familiar” explores the complexities of relationships and the temptation to give in to immediate desires. The singer’s frustration with the presence of other men suggests insecurity and jealousy, while his desire for privacy and intimacy suggests a deeper level of emotional connection. However, the questionable morality of his actions and the potential consequences highlight the complications that can arise from acting on impulse.

Girl, I understand how you feel

You know when I'm letting you know
You know when I am being honest with you

At the same time, I am not letting you leave

Just wanna get you alone in a quiet room
I just want to be alone with you in a quiet place

Baby lets doin it more familiar
Baby, let's get to know each other better

Maybe we should go somewhere to rock to hear you
Maybe we should go somewhere with music and dance

Maybe we should go more familiar
Maybe we should get to know each other better
