Ruthless records was splitting apart. Dre, convinced Eazy-E was withholding profit from the N.W.A sales, left the label and started Death Row Records with Suge Knight. Eazy-E refused to release Michel'le and Dr. Dre from their Ruthless Records contracts. Supposedly, Suge and Dre extorted Eazy with metal pipes and baseball bats and forced him to release Dr. Dre, Michel'le and The D.O.C. so he could sign them to Death Row.
Michel'le made occasional guest appearances, notably on the single "Let's Play House" with Tha Dogg Pound in 1996 on Death Row Records. Michel'le released her second and Death Row's fifteenth album called Hung Jury in 1998. Her sophomore effort did not come near the success of her first selling only 300,000 copies to date.
Following Dre's departure from Death Row, Michel'le broke up with Dre and began a new relationship with Suge Knight. Michel'le has a child with Dr. Dre, Marcel, and at least three kids with Suge Knight. It's unknown how many they have. They are currently married. Michel'le is still a part of the Death Row Roster. Her most recent music was a contribution to the Dysfunktional Family soundtrack in 2003. A trailer video for Michel'le's brand new single "Freedom To Love" can be seen on YouTube. The single "Freedom To Love" (listed as "Freedom Two Love" on Amazon.com MP3 downloads) was finally released in 2011. The song "Freedom To Love" charted, reaching #91 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
No More Lies
Michel'le Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello? Hello?
'Course you're the only girl.
You're all I think about.
You're the only girl for me.
You're all I think about.
You're special.
You know I love you,
You say you love me,
And I think that is true.
But every night my Papa tells me
I should watch you.
Now I say I trust you,
But I want you to know
I'm not a sucker;
Chill out-your nose is growing, Pinocchio.
So now I'm leaving,
And you know I tried.
All right, baby, no more lies.
Do-do-doo-ooh-ooh,
Do-do-doo-ooh-ooh,
Do-do-do-do-do-ooh-ooh.
You say no more lies,
And I'll try to understand.
But there's a little exaggeration
In almost every man.
Now I say I trust you,
But I want you to know
Want you to know
Sounds like you're cryin' wolf, babe-
I think it's time for me to go.
So now I'm leaving,
And you know I tried.
All right, baby, no more lies.
But you don't appreciate
The time I take
All right baby, no more lies.
Hello? You're the only girl for me
No more lies.
You're all I think about;
'Course you're the only girl;
You're special
In Michel'le's song "No More Lies", the singer is talking to their partner on the phone. The opening lines indicate that the singer is completely devoted to their partner and thinks about them all the time. However, there seems to be an element of doubt in the singer's mind, possibly due to something their father said. They express their trust but also warn their partner that they are not a fool and can see through lies.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "no more lies" and the singer tells their partner that they are leaving and have tried their best. There is a sense of finality in the decision to leave and not tolerate any more dishonesty. The singer acknowledges that sometimes people exaggerate, but they believe that their partner has cried wolf one too many times. The song ends with a repetition of the opening lines, once again expressing the singer's deep love and admiration for their partner.
