After finishing high school, Kem dealt with homelessness, addiction, and isolation from his family. He did not overcome these issues until he turned to spirituality and music, as he has said, "My career didn't take off until I connected with my spirituality. That's why I take time on stage and on the album to administer spirituality to people. That's one of the things that I am most proud of." He has also stated that he does not create music marketed to the mainstream hip-hop-dominated R&B crowd but to people who enjoy his soul/jazz adult contemporary sound and lyrical content. He wrote, produced, and financed his self-released debut album, Kemistry, by singing in a wedding band and waiting tables. He was later signed by Motown Records, who re-released the album on February 25, 2003. The album's first single, "Love Calls", became a hit at urban adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio. He followed his debut release with a sophomore album, Album II, released May 17, 2005. It included the hit single "I Can't Stop Loving You", a #1 at urban adult contemporary radio, and the song "You Might Win" featuring Stevie Wonder on harmonica.
Find Your Way
Kem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is this how love is supposed to be?
And how is that you keep findin'
Your way back in my life?
Said, "I'm leavin', have I made myself clear?"
Everytime I find someone I find myself here
No more screamin', there'll be no more lies
So how did you find your way back in my life?
How did you find your way back in my life?
How did you find your way back in my life?
How did you find your way back in my life?
I can't tell it, how we make this thing fly
I really thought we'd work it out after all this time
But this ain't how love's supposed to be, in and out of harmony
So I packed up all my things, there was nothin' left to say
So how did you find your way back in my life?
How did you find your way back in my life?
How did you find your way back in my life?
How did you find your way back in my life?
Hey, hey girl
How did you get here girl?
How did you find your way?
C'mon girl, c'mon baby, c'mon girl, hey
How did you find your way back in my life?
How did you find your way back in my life?
How did you find your way back in my life?
How did you find your way back into my life, girl?
I wanna know girl, yes
How did you find your way back into my life, girl, yeah?
I wanna know girl, can you tell me? How did you get here?
I wanna know, babe
How did you find your way? How did you get here, babe?
I wanna know girl
How did you find your way back into my life, babe?
How did you find your way back into my life?
