DeVaughn's musical story began with his mother's vinyl collection. "I always loved music so I would sneak into her record collection when she wasn't around and play her stuff." DeVaughn's father, noted jazz musician Abdul Wadud was also an influence. DeVaughn knew at an early age that he would become an entertainer.
DeVaughn graduated from High Point High School in Beltsville, Maryland; then headed to nearby Coppin State. It was the first day of college that changed the course of his life. "I saw a group of guys standing outside singing, Boyz II Men style," remembers DeVaughn. "I just went up there and started harmonizing with them. Before I knew what was going on, I was in a group, cutting class to write lyrics and record." After winning $2,000.00 in a talent show at Bar None, a Washington D.C. nightclub, DeVaughn decided to go for broke and invested all of his winnings into a CD burner. Several independent releases led to a showcase with Jive Records, and the career was on it's way.
Feather Rock Lovin'
Raheem DeVaughn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Light as a feather, hard as a rock)
Bounces off your, naked anatomy
(After night fall)
Damn
(After night fall)
(Welcome to)
That won't subside
Till' I capsize
Now get your garters down
Let your body be free
How long has it been
It's been a long time comin'
Such a long time comin' girl
Sweet heart
How long has it been
Since your lips a part to kiss
The gentle touch
The rapid pace of passion
Oh
If its loving you want
I got the pleasure you need
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
Seduction and instant gratification
After night fall
After night fall
I'm gonna' be all over your body
Like lotion, like a shower, like bath and body works
(Feel the) Feel the thrust of this wood while you grabbin' on my torso
Bet you're sweet like a ball of cotton candy from the fair
As wet as the Atlantic in your damp underwear
Take them off
Its time to break you off and get you off
Sweetheart
How long has it been since the wetness in your kiss
Since the rapid heart beat of passion
If its loving you want
I got the pleasure you need
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
Seduction and instant gratification
After night fall
After night fall
No
Don't deprive yourself of it
Relax, releasing lovin'
Promise, this is where you need to be honey
Baby how long has it been since the wetness in our kiss
Since the rapid heartbeat of passion
Gonna do you
Gonna do you
Gonna do you
Gonna do you
Gonna do you
Gonna do you
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
After night fall
Gonna get you
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
Gonna do you
Gonna do you
Gonna do you
Gonna do you
Gonna do you
Gonna do you
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
After night fall
After night fall
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
After night fall
After night fall
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
After night fall
After night fall
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
Light as a feather, hard as a rock
