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.

I got to testify (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Listen
You're some kind of royalty (testify, testify)
I wanna give you all my loyalty (I gotta testify)
I wanna give you all my fidelity (speak on it)
You bring out the man in me (you work on the man, baby)
And you still pretty even when (when you're mad at me)
You win my heart, came right in and tamed me
I'm so glad I was chosen (your love is golden)
You are
(Just right, just right) just right
(Just right, just right) You're so
(You're so perfectly imperfect)
Loving you is worth it
(Just right, just right) just right
(Just right, just right, just right)
Loving you's a testimony
You put something on me
Oh
(You love me just right, baby)
You are just right, just right, oh
You are a work of art
You are a new start, see you are the remedy
When you saved me from me
My piece of heaven (my piece of heaven)
My daily blessin' (my daily blessin')
Eternal lessons
My favorite session (sex sessions)
My favorite lips to kiss
In the midnight hour, love-making in the shower
Butt-naked while you holler
You tamed my heart, came right in and tamed me
I'm so glad I was chosen
Your love, it is golden
Every little thing about you babe
(Just right, just right) just right
(Just right, just right) you're so
You're so perfectly imperfect
Loving you is worth it
(Just right, just right) just right
(Just right, just right, just right)
Loving you's a testimony
You put something on me
Your love is just right, baby
Oh 24/7
(24/7 365 days of the year) Oh 365 days of the year
I'd be lost without you (I can't not even imagine not being by your side baby)
Loving you is a love testimony
You put something on me
(Just right, just right, just right) just right
Just right, just right
You're so perfectly imperfect
Loving you is worth it
(Just right, just right, just right)
(Just right, just right, just right)
Loving you's a testimony
You put something on me
(Just right, just right, just right) just right, just
You're so perfectly imperfect
But loving you is worth it
(Just right, just right, just right, just right) just right

Your issue is with White supremacy & their control over imagery because the average everyday Black man loves dark women. V. Bozeman is my dream mate.
