The effort vividly illustrates the growth of a promising talent who, for the first time, reveals his own roots through a multi-faceted perspective. Rome, who is still just 22, is taking a temporary break from the trio Immature in which he launched his music career 11 years ago. He has just starred in the Hollywood hit movie "You Got Served" which did over 40 million at the box office. He is scheduled to return in "You Got Served 2". This album is different than anything anyone has ever seen me do, he continues. It’s far from what Immature did. It’s more mature--more about my personal life and what I’ve been through. I sing about the ups and downs of being in the group, of what’s happening with my family and going through stuff. This album shows all of me-the adversity and everything else. A wide-variety of cutting-edge producers worked on the material for the album, from big names such as Rufus Blaq and T Scott to hot street names like J. Brown and Maddphunk and PMG. I’m actually surprised to see how good it came out, because I haven’t really been in a studio for two years, he says. I tried to reinvent myself, even with my vocal style and rapping voice. When I used to rap in Immature, I did a lot more kiddie stuff, talking about things that just fit for the girls. Now I’m doing stuff for everybody. Anyone who has ever had certain problems like I’ve had, can probably relate to them in different songs. The lead-off single, After Party, features Omarion from B2K. It was one of the first songs we recorded, Rome says. As soon as everyone in the studio heard it, we knew it had to drop first. It’s more of an eye-opener; people will be hearing me, by myself, for the first time. They’ll see what I can do. It’s almost like a warm-up to everything that’s on the album. Most albums just have a lot of party songs. Mine has party songs, too, but it also has different songs that describe the things I went through. The single is just the top layer to it all. He’s also very proud of the track Best Days. It talks about Immature, Rome says. Especially the whole story of what we went through with B2K. But we’re going to surprise people with a lot of the new songs. When I was younger, I was hit in my eye with a book. People always wondered why I wore that patch. That’s why. I talk about a lot of situations like that-about my posse and my bro-some of the things that affected me really hard. Expect to see Young Rome at a radio station near you, as he’ll embark on a nationwide promo tour with several other up-and-coming artists. Of performing with just a DJ onstage--and not his fellow Immature compatriots-Rome says, I’m going to come out with more creative things to get the crowd get high, Before you could react to each other and say, ‘Hey take off your shirt and make ‘em scream.’ Now I’m going to be entertaining with my music-and myself. Being himself is the key to Young Rome’s creativity. I had to be honest with myself when I did these songs, he admits. Writing the songs and putting them out there is almost like therapy for me. It helped me work through my situations. I’m not a talkative person who tells everyone his problems, but when I did this, it was a release for me. I can finally move on in my life. And best of all, everyone else can enjoy the ride.

Young Rome
OK

I rock long chain in my tee-shit
Holding the bottle
Braids freshly twisted
Caressing a model
10-ton titan
Hey, you looking exhausted
Jeans saggin' she asked?
Where's your ass?
I lost it
Asking me
How much my bracelet costed?
She finally got a young baller to floss wit
Don't touch the diamonds
You might get frostbit
Looking at my chain
Might make you nauseous
I'm in a party
Crum crumaya dunka
Let me stand behind you and look at your future
Mami you look right
So lets twurk
On the dance floor all night
And your blouse
Make it bounce
Girl are those cantaloupes or breasteses
'cause I'm a freak
I got multiple fetishes
You know
Hands down on the dance floor
Ass up
It's an after party
Niggas put cash up, oh

[Chorus]

Yeah ladies and gentlemen
I want y'all to put your hands together
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
Clap, clap, clap your hands

After me there will be no replacement
What's that smell?
My homie smoking in my basement
Marques went up to my room with a freak
He can use the bed
Just take off my sheets
Everybody left the club
Headed out to my castle
I had to kick a dude out
For being an asshole
Cussin' at his broad
Drunk, loud, and staggerin'
'cause she was in my ear
Saying thing so flatterin'
But it didn't matter then
I was at my friend
In my driveway
Getting her number at her Benz
Now I'm walking through my royal doors
Steppin on my porcelain floor
Looking at broads
Who don't like to wear draws
Everybody got their hands up
'cause I'm a bad boy
I throw live parties like Puff Daddy
Rome, true payer for real
I don't trip when the Cristol spills
We got mo' pimp

[Chorus:]

Lets do it again y'all everybody
Clap, clap your hands
Clap, clap, clap your hands
You know I sing, but you got me really want to rap
Let me kick something

Mama mama game so sick
Call the doctor
Ring, quick, quick, quick
The DJ bumpin'
Up in da club
I got 2 freaks putting on a show in a hot tub
It's smelling like bath and body works
Liquor on my breathe
Flippin' up they dress
Showing me flesh
Rubin on my chest
When I raise a cigar
'cause bottom line
My after party don't start til tomorrow





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

In Young Rome's song 'After Party', he invites listeners to his after party where sensual desires are fulfilled. He describes himself as the new sheriff in town during the introductory lines by Omarion. Young Rome then introduces himself and starts singing about the after party. The chorus talks about the atmosphere of the party and how the girls are feeling naughty, and he wants to leave the party with somebody for sensual activities. The lyrics describe the materialistic nature of Young Rome's success and how his success attracts women. He raps about wearing costly jewelry, holding bottles, twisting models' hair, and his fetish for breasts that are bouncing. He says that he is a bad boy who throws parties like Puff Daddy and doesn't care about the spilled Cristal. He describes the after-party as something that boosts the mood, and the line 'nah nah nah' has been used explicitly to show that he is high on the night and nothing can stop the party.

Who Sings The Chorus? Thanks.

@babysnoop84

I think MH sings the chorus and Omarion make the ad-libs and the back voices. In the 3rd verse this is Omarion. At this moment (2004) Omarion and B2K was very popular so I guess that was commercially better to say "featuring Omarion" for Young Rome's promotion ;)
