Signing with Blackground Records (home of Aaliyah, one of Timbaland's main collaborators), Timbaland & Magoo went on to release a number of albums, which were not as successful as the singles that anchored them. Singles such as "Up Jumps the Boogie [Remix]", "Clock Strikes [Remix]" (which samples the Knight Rider theme), "Here We Come" (which samples the 1960s Spider-Man theme), "Drop", "All Y'all", and "Cop That Disc" have all proved successful, while the albums that they appeared on have generally underperformed. Their first LP "Welcome To Our World" sold over 1 Million copies

Voice Mail
Timbaland & Magoo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voice mail goes God bless me
'Cause I'm gonna bring home to you
I've seen the world but I really haven't seen you
Oh you pretty girl
I'm gonna bring it home to you
Oh sweet sweet girla
Sweet sweet girl sweet sweet girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Timbaland & Magoo's song Voice Mail express the desire to bring home the world that the artist has seen, but also confesses to never truly having seen the person they are singing to. The opening line, "Voice mail goes God bless me," sets the tone for the rest of the song as a plea for God to bless the artist's endeavors to bring home the world to their loved one. The phrase "bring home" can be interpreted as both a physical and emotional act, as if the artist is promising to share their experiences and knowledge with their beloved.

The following lines, "I've seen the world but I really haven't seen you / Oh you pretty girl," suggest that even though the artist has had amazing experiences and seen so much of the world, there is still a sense of incompleteness without the presence of the person they are singing to. This longing and desire to bring everything back to their loved sets the stage for the repeated refrain of "sweet sweet girl," emphasizing the artist's love and affection for their partner.
