Born and raised in Inglewood, California, Omarion rose to fame while still a teen as a member of the groundbreaking urban "boy band" B2K. His soulful vocals, riveting stage presence, and undeniable charisma helped B2K score a hit with the group's very first single, "Uh Huh," in 2001; achieve gold status with the group's self-titled debut album in 2002; and go RIAA platinum with the group's best-selling sophomore outing, Pandemonium! in 2003.
Omarion's undeniable media-geniality has led to numerous television guest appearances including "Punk'd," "The Sharon Osbourne Show," "Regis & Kelly" and the "American Music Awards." In addition to his musical performances, Omarion has acted on the big screen with key roles in "You Got Served" and "Fat Albert." Omarion stars in "Somebody Help Me," an innovative horror film directed by Chris Stokes and may be seen in the film "Feel The Noise" and Tyger ("Menace II Society") Williams' "Street Soldier."
For season five of America's Best Dance Crew on MTV, Omarion replaced Shane Sparks as a judge.
Currently he's signed to Rick Ross's label.

Omarion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make me feel like I want ya
Gyal I feel like I want ya
The distance between our bodies
Gyal you whine like a woah yeah
Put me gun in your holster
The distance between us
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Roll tide like Crimson
That's how I like my women
Like I like my chicken
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Gyal come closer to me
Gyal come closer to me
So much distance between us
Distance between our bodies
So much distance between us
Distance between our bodies, yeah
So much distance between us
Hit me on the phone
I be up late night talkin' like a smooth operator
Losin' all control
I need that poom-poom right now, ayy
Got me in the open
Like a drop top Chevy in the hood sittin' low
But I'm tryna put you in the Wraith
So girl don't get ghostin'
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Roll tide like Crimson
That's how I like my women
Like I like my chicken
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Gyal come closer to me
Gyal come closer to me
So much distance between us
Distance between our bodies
So much distance between us
Distance between our bodies, yeah
So much distance between us
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Roll tide like Crimson
That's how I like my women

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Gyal come closer to me
Gyal come closer to me
So much distance between us
Distance between our bodies
So much distance between us
Distance between our bodies, yeah
So much distance between us
Omarion’s “Distance” is a song about wanting someone who is physically far away. The distance is causing Omarion to feel a strong desire for the person, and he compares the feeling to wanting to possess a gun. The song has an upbeat tempo and features Omarion’s smooth vocals. The chorus is simple, repeating the phrase “so much distance between us” multiple times, emphasizing the frustration and longing caused by the physical separation.
The first verse describes how the distance between the two bodies intensifies the singer's desire. He likens the feeling to wanting to possess a gun, with the woman acting as the holster. In the pre-chorus, Omarion talks about staying up late talking to the person and wanting their physical presence.
The most interesting aspect of the song is how the chorus repeats the same phrase, emphasizing the distance between the two bodies. But the instrumental section of the song mirrors the lyrics, with the instruments on opposite ends of the stereo soundfield, creating an atmosphere of space and distance between the sounds. Another interesting feature is how the song draws comparisons between the woman and food, with the line, “Like I like my chicken.”
