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.

How about you and I make a baby?
How about you and I make a baby?
How about you and I make a baby?

Now that I know your status
You know mine
But tonight, tonight I plan to fertilize
Overstay, tonight will bring your destiny
Tonight will bring forth family

I want you to love my body
How about you and I make a baby?
How about a baby?
How about you and I make a baby?
Make a baby
How about you and I make a baby?
Just think we've made
A boy with swagger like mine
And to be sure let's go all night
And if it's a girl like her mama, she gonna be so fine
And you're the best sex you've ever had
And I won't be no dead beat dad shoot
Tonight we even might make 2
Twenty-two
Tonight I thank my majesty
For blessing me with you
How about you and I make a baby?
I want you to love my body
How about you and I make a baby?
How about a baby?
How about you and I make a baby?
I said about you baby
How about you and I make a baby?
Make a baby
I wanna love your body
I wanna love your feet
I wanna feed you all night long
F in the morning
And when you have the wildest craving
I'm ready, I want you down baby
How about you and I make a baby?
How about you and I make a baby?
How about you and I make a baby?
Oh yeah, yeah
How about you and I make a baby?
Tell me baby
If it's a boy with swagger like mine
It's a girl like her mama, she gonna be so fine
Say you're ready to make a baby
How about you and I make a baby?
Say that you're ready
How about you and I make a baby?
