Jhené is the daughter of Tina Chilombo and Antonio Chilombo. She has four siblings: Miyoko (sister), Jamila (sister), Miyagi (brother) and Jahi (brother). Jhené’s older sisters Jamila and Miyoko toured with Immature. This led to Jhene’s first meeting with producer Chris Stokes when Jhene was five years old. Eventually Stokes heard her sing, and he promised her that he would work with her someday. Although Jhené can sing in the fifth octave, she doesn’t have a five octave range. When B2K signed with Epic Records, Stokes suggested Jhene as a female solo singer and which led to her being signed as well. She served as the opening act for B2K and IMx on the Scream Tour 3.
As a promotional tool for Jhené, a few of her songs are featured on B2K releases. Tracks five through eight on B2K’s B2K: The Remixes - Volume 1 were actually songs by Jhené. They were: “My Name Is Jhene” (Intro), “He Couldn’t Kiss” (Album Version), “Gonna Love You Anyway” (snippet), and “Stuck Like This” (Snippet). “Santa Baby”, a cover done by Jhene, was featured on B2K’s Santa Hooked Me Up. On Pandemonium!, she was featured as a guest vocalist on the song “Tease”, and her song “Dog” appeared as a bonus track. Possibly as a ploy to get fans to listen to this song all the way though, a B2K bonus song “What U Get” can be heard immediately after “Dog” on the same track. The full version of “Stuck Like This” can be heard as the final track on The Remixes - Volume 2.
Jhené appears in numerous music videos including O’Ryan’s debut video, “Take It Slow”, B2K’s debut video “Uh Huh”, Play’s “M.AS.T.E.R (Part 2)” featuring Lil Fizz video and Morgan Smith’s 2004 video Blow Ya Whistle. Jhené’s songs are also featured on the soundtracks of Barbershop, The Master of Disguise, You Got Served, The Proud Family and Byou.
Hoe ft. Miguel & Gucci Mane
Jhené Aiko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby I wont judge, now I'm sure that she knows she wants yeah
Had me at hello my name is
Choose him before he could say it
I can't help feeling like he need it, you know I'm usually shy
I be lying, I'm just trying not to come too strong but I am
I can't front I see potential and if he say so, I won't say no.
Ohh, don't be scared of my aggression
Ohh, just don't get the wrong impression.
Chorus:
I hope she don't think that I think that she's some kind of hoe
'cause I don't care that just let me know that she knows what she wants yeah
Baby I wont judge, now I'm sure that she knows she wants yeah
Hey girl say girl I ain't no time to play girl
Now I'ma touch her and tell her I want that, girl
Yeah they call me Gucci but I'ma buy you Louie
Yellow stones on my wrist remind me of a slushy
Girl so fine wanna ride me like a huffy
Ugly girls quiet, pretty girls ride
Country girls, city girls love to flaunt diamonds
Got her in the bed with the kids straight wildin
Took her to the club brought her three long islands
She from Rhode Island, Atlanta I reside in
Big black diamond bigger than a black razor
Asian, black, Caucasian
I'm blazin'
After all I just hope he don't think that I'm some kind of hoe
I don't know he just makes me feel like he knows what he wants yeah
I would take it slow, but he makes me feel like he knows what he wants yeah
I be on my bold shit, I be on some bold shit
I be on my own shit, he know he be needin it
& He know that I want it, he know that I want
He, he know that I want it.
I be on my bold shit, I be on some bold shit
I be on my own shit, but I ain't on that bullshit
He know he be needin it, & he know that I want it
He know that i want it, but I ain't on that hoe shit.
Ugly girls quiet, pretty girls ride
Ugly girls quiet, pretty girls ride
Ug-ugly girls quiet, pretty girls ride
Pretty girls ride, pretty, pretty girls ride.
Pretty girls ride.
The lyrics to Jhené Aiko's song Hoe are about a woman who is unapologetic about her sexuality and knows what she wants. She hopes that a man she is interested in doesn't judge her for being bold and assertive, and she also hopes that other women won't judge her and label her as a "hoe." The woman is aware of her own potential and isn't afraid to go after what she wants, even though she acknowledges that she can come off as aggressive. Despite this, she wants to take things slow with the man she likes but is open to the possibility of something more.
