El rhythm and blues (abreviado por sus siglas R&B) o jumping music es un género musical derivado en su origen del jazz, el gospel y el blues. El término musical fue introducido en Estados Unidos en 1949 por Jerry Wexler de la revista Billboard. Sustituyó al término conocido como "race records" (grabaciones de raza), considerado ofensivo para la posguerra mundial así como para la categoría de Billboard "Harlem Hit Parade" en junio de 1949, y principalmente era usado para identificar el género musical que más tarde se desarrollaría en forma de rock and roll.
Avant (nacido en 1978 en Cleveland, Ohio) es un cantante de R&B afroamericano. Especialmente conocido por sus hits "Separated" (el remix con la colaboración de Kelly Rowland), "My First Love" y "Read Your Mind (remix con Snoop Dogg).
Colaboró en el remix de Karma, protagonizado por Lloyd Banks, y también apareció en 2004 en la película Barbershop 2: Back in Business.
First analysis, coming off with a light tint?
Had to stop and stare, saw that derrière with?
Curves of a goddess
That really make me want it
That her walk is dangerous
(it was moving to a melody)
Her hair was done like a queen from a movie scene
From behind i felt like i was in a dream
She sophisticated an extra-ordinary lady
I walked over and i tapped her on the shoulder
Then she smiled and said don't i know ya
I looked closer, escaped through my memories
Tryna figure out just (who could she be)
Now i'm thinking back
The girl with the glasses sitting in front of the classes
(carrying the books not worrying about fashion)
It's hard to imagine that
That girl would be so attractive
[chorus]
Shorty you've been graduated
Back in school i didn't even notice
Now it's all eyes on you
(wanna different motive girl)
Trying to be discreet
My apology
That body's killing me
Girl you don't look the same to me
You even went and flipped the game on me
I really like what i see
Shorty you've been graduated
Get attention from the men in the spot now
When you coming through
You know how to shut it down
(sexy with confidence, and knowing how to flaunt it)
It's all so fabulous (with your femininity)
Ain't no question this impassion so impressive?
I believe that it's no coincidence that we met, yea
Times is changed and
Now you're ready for me
She was lonely
So i gave her my number
Then whispered in my ear
I wanna move faster
Let's get closer and make some new memories
And after all this talking (it's time to see)
Now i...
Think back
To the girl with the glasses sitting in front of the classes
(carrying the books not worrying about fashion)
It's hard to imagine that
That girl would be so attractive
[chorus]
If i woulda known
Would've walked you home
We could've spend long nights on the phone
Now we're both grown
Girl let's get it on
I'll make you lose control
With the things that i do
If i woulda known
Would've walked you home
We could've spend long nights on the phone
Now we're both grown
Girl let's get it on
I'll let you decide how many rounds we'll go
[chorus]
