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.

?Raheem Devaughnn club-banger take 1
Turn me up?
{Verse I}
Don?t know where you been
But I?m glad they let you in
Meet the band and all my friends
How did you like the show?
I spotted you in the 3rd row
Thought I?d let you know (you?re banging)
I recognize a girl with class
Bartender, fill her glass
I wanna watch her shake her (la la la la, la-la-la, la la la)
Forewarn you if I could
Right now you look so good
Right now I wish you would
Let me unwrap you baby cause I
{Chorus}
I got a thing for chocolate
I got a thing for sweets (trick or treat baby)
I might make you melt girl (you shall be forwarned)
The way you dance to the beat
Aw girl, I got a thing for chocolate (I , I got a sweet tooth baby for you , whoo)
A thing for sweets
{Verse II}
The softness of your skin (softness of your skin)
Like Gramma?s cookie bag (gramma?s cookie bag)
Oh I think I met my match (you?re gorgeous, look at your ahhh)
Don?t usually brag or boast
But I?m getting awfully close
To your goody-goody jar
To you in my car
To us wilding out from here
Now, that your throat is wet
There?s elbow-room to step
Lets take full advantage
Hey, girl don?t you panic
I got an A in physics (got an A in physics)
I warned you like I should
My God, you look so good
You gotta lotta soul in your hips
The way you lean back
Break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat
{Chorus}
I got a thing for chocolate (whoa)
I got a thing for sweets (whoa)
I might make you melt girl (whoa)
The way you dance to the beat (whoa)
Aw girl, (oh baby)I got a thing for chocolate (I got a thing for you, your sweetness)
A thang for sweets
(Ad lib)
Break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat baby
Ooh, uh, oh my Lord
Mmm .. I?m getting real real close to your goody goody goody goody goody goody jar.
You in my car
Oh, ooh, oh, my lord
Mmm sweet as you are
Chorus 2x
Let me in your cookie jar baby
Let me in your cookie jar baby
Let me, me-e-e-e-e in your cookie jar baby
Mmmm hmmmm
